Join Jen Mast and Julie McKay for a 6-night, 7-day Savor Scotland Retreat at Rachel’s Farm, a beautiful retreat center in Buchlyvie, Scotland, just a short ride from the Stirling train station.
Set among rolling farmland, villages, lochs, and gentle hills with sweeping views toward the Trossachs National Park, Rachel’s Farm offers the perfect blend of rustic Scottish charm and modern comfort. Beautifully renovated farmhouses, cottages, barns, and stables create a warm and welcoming home base for rest, connection, and exploration.
This soulful Scotland retreat offers a nourishing blend of yoga, adventure, nature, culture, and spacious time to unwind. Together, we’ll explore Edinburgh, visit historic castles, enjoy a special Stirling Discovery Day, hike through the beauty of the Trossachs, and gather for Ceilidh dancing, sound healing, chef-prepared farm-to-table meals, and meaningful community.
Our yoga practices will be accessible and thoughtfully varied, ranging from Vinyasa flow and mindful movement to gentle, restorative, and deeply grounding practices. Guests will also have time to enjoy the majestic yoga barn, hot tubs, cold plunge, cozy gathering spaces, luxury accommodations, and the peaceful beauty of the land.
From outdoor excursions to quiet moments of reflection, this retreat captures the magic of Scotland in so many beautiful ways — offering a well-rounded experience of the landscape, culture, connection, and calm that make this part of Scotland so special.
Jen and Julie bring their signature Savor blend of silliness and serenity, laughter and love, mindful movement and meaningful connection. Together, they create a retreat experience that feels grounded, joyful, welcoming, and deeply nourishing.
This is the Savor way — and we can’t wait to share the magic of Scotland with you.
