Summer Solstice
Full Day Wellness Retreat at The Barony Castle
10-4pm Sunday 22nd June 2025
Join us for our second wellness retreat nestled within the beautiful Scottish Borders Countryside!
The Summer Solstice is a time of light, growth, and renewal. It encourages setting new goals and embracing new beginnings.
Summer Solstice reminds us to turn inward and find the nourishment needed to grow and evolve. It is a time to pause and wait for the energy planted in the Spring to reach full bloom!
The perfect time to retreat together!
“This was my first retreat and I absolutely loved it. Struggling with a bit of an anxious head this was just what I’ve been looking for!
I’ve never wanted to medicate for personal reasons and I’ve always thought I just needed to keep muddling along.
Your retreat has opened up a whole new world for me and for the first time in a really long time, I’m genuinely excited!”

What People Are Saying…
“Thank you for organising such a beautiful event - was grateful for the opportunity to press pause for a few hours and focus on self-care. Look forward to any other events you organise. Also thank you for organising things in such a compassionate and sensitive way to cater for all.”
Started off quite nervous but as the sessions progressed, it felt like peeling off layers until I felt my authentic self again. I'm still benefitting from the sessions & my spiritual routine has went up a couple of levels. Really can't recommend a retreat by Gemma enough!”
“I needed this event. More than ever. I’ve let my self-care slip and it brought me back to myself. Allowed me to go deeper and feel things I’ve been suppressing this whole year. An emotional and wonderful day.”
“The beautiful venue & had a wonderful vibe! I felt comfortable that everything was well organised and got loads out of the experience with various modalities blending seamlessly together to create an overall healing experience. I was astounded by the healing received. And got more out of the 4 hour retreat than I did out of 5 days of ayahuasca!”
“Absolutely outstanding experience from start to finish, Gemma went above and beyond with every detail, I feel so empowered and grateful that I took that time for myself. Can’t wait for the next one already!”
“Gemma has such a calming presence on the room, it made the environment warm and welcoming - and offered up such a non-judgmental space. The day was just perfect, it was beautifully organised and ran smoothly.”
