Susie from Pause & Breathe CIC is teaming up with Tony from Walk Mull, for a retreat where we’ll be spending most of our time enjoying nature through different walks.

On our walking retreat we will have the chance to find peace in the natural world. Our day will start and end with different practices, including Mindfulness, Qi Gong & Yoga Nidra.

During our time together we will walk on most days, with a day off to visit Iona, to explore this magical island. Our walks will offer the option of cold water swimming - both in the sea and in lochs. All walks are graded easy for hill walking - a degree of fitness is required, but we will walk at a leisurely pace with lots of stops.

We will be staying in two connecting cottages on Saorphin Farm, on the Ross of Mull – the southwestern part of the island. The cottages are peaceful – overlooking Loch Assapol, our closest neighbours are sheep and deer. We can walk to a local beach from the farm, and it’s usually deserted.

The retreat runs from Sunday 7th - Saturday 13th September 2025. Arrival is from 3pm onwards, and the retreat ends at 9am. Retreatants are responsible for their own travel arrangements to and from the cottage, although if you are arriving by public transport, we can arrange to pick you up and drop you off at the ferry port on Mull for a small additional charge.

Please note that it's not possible to bring pets on retreat.

The cost of the retreat varies, depending on the room you choose to stay in. For one person in a shared room, the price is £995 per person. A single supplement is £1245. There are also some rooms with double beds, for two people booking a double room it's £1790. This includes full board accommodation for six nights, and all teaching sessions.
