Partnering with The Living Mountain to create an unforgettable experience.
Meet The Living Mountain
Wellness Community
A collective dedicated to reconnecting people with nature through movement and mindfulness. They believe that true rest comes not from doing nothing, but from being fully present in wild places.
"This wasn't about adrenaline; it was about silence."
This wasn't about adrenaline; it was about silence. The brief was to find a place where 'the only noise is the river and the wind.' They needed a venue that was luxurious but not pretentious, with direct access to wild swimming spots so guests could roll out of bed and into the freezing water. 'No public roads, no tourists, just us and the mountains.'
The Goal
To host a wellness retreat focused on yoga, QiGong, and wild swimming in a luxurious wilderness setting.
The Challenge
Creating a deeply restorative retreat requires a secluded yet accessible venue that fosters community connection.
Specific Needs
Private lodge with river access, vegetarian catering, and quiet spaces for meditation.
Crafting the Experience
We scoured the Highlands and found a private lodge that sits alone in a valley—no neighbors, just deer. It was perfect, but it needed to function as a retreat center. We brought in a team of local vegetarian chefs to turn the kitchen into a wellness hub, serving plant-based feasts that grounded the guests. We coordinated the schedule to flow with the light, arranging QiGong sessions at sunrise and wild swims in the river pools. We even arranged for a local sound healer to come in for an evening gong bath, transforming the living room into a sanctuary.
Precision Logistics
We partnered with the Living Mountain team to select the perfect secluded lodge. Our team managed all the on-site logistics, from sourcing local organic produce for the chefs to coordinating the arrival of the sound healer, ensuring the retreat flowed effortlessly.
The Outcome
A transformative weekend where guests disconnected from the world and reconnected with nature, praised for its tranquility and flawless organization.
