Recharging Nature

The ancient Roslyn forest, located 5 minute’s walk from our home, is an incredible wild paradise, the oldest forest in Central Scotland. We would be very happy to share tips on how to find some special locations and hidden micro-paradises. There are many trails to and a river running along.

The house is also located 8 minutes’ drive from the Pentland National Park, a beautiful array of mountains & hills, locks, reservoir, mountain biking trails. It feels like jumping in the wild nature of the northern Scottish Highland

In our experience, this place is a wonderful incubating pod of creativity, regenerative experiences, and integrity. People who have stayed have received a lot of inspiration, and left feeling focused toward their next stage in life

I am a devoted capoeira angoleira and daughter of the Axè land of bahia, yet adopted by the celtic warriors. Living with me is neither boring, nor intense 🤍🌹🫀
