A Week of Restful Retreat

Come away for a rare and nourishing week—quiet, spacious, and deeply restorative. Free from cars and screens, you’ll have the chance to let your nervous system soften and settle, attuning to the wild beauty of Scotland and the steady rhythm of your own soul.

Your journey begins with a train ride from Glasgow, followed by two ferry crossings and a winding passage across the Isle of Mull. At the edge of the world, you’ll arrive on Iona—a small, sacred island graced with white sand beaches, ancient history, and a timeless sense of peace.

Over the Easter holiday week, we will embark on an inner pilgrimage, weaving together meditation, yoga, and moments of quiet reflection with rambling coastal hikes, shared meals of fresh local fare, optional services at the Iona Abbey, swims in the cold, clear sea, and the simple pleasure of unhurried time.

Our days will open gently—morning meditations, long walks across moor and shore, beachcombing, cold plunges, picnic lunches. Afternoons may hold yoga or rest, followed by dinners rich with island flavors, and quiet evenings for contemplation and journaling.

Spring on Iona is a season of tender beauty—fields alive with playful lambs and calves, daffodils and blossoming trees heralding the island’s slow, radiant awakening.

Read what people are saying:

"I would describe the trip as an vigorous but indulgent day-hiking, weeklong, spiritual experience. This was a week of grounding, wandering, unwinding in one of the most breathtaking settings I have ever been in...... It was indulgent in the sense that we were well fed, stayed at premier resorts/hotels, and it was a luxury to not think about any of the many logistics that you handle!" —KM

Hiking and Yoga in the Dolomites with Diana was an extraordinary trip. Diana curated and lead our excursion with grace and wisdom. She selected beautiful hotels and inns for us and navigated hikes to astounding terrain. Diana’s yin yoga sessions at the end of each day added necessary balance to the rigors of hiking. I would return year after year to explore the Dolomites or any other region of the world with Diana‘s expert guidance.

I have traveled all over the world and stayed in luxurious places. My trip with Diana—hiking, and yoga in the Dolomites, was the best. It was a spectacular combination of breathtaking hikes, first class lodging, inspiring meditation and yoga, and the cultivation of a supportive and interesting group. It just does not get better than hiking the Dolomites led by Diana.
