Throughout the year, Maycroft Retreat hosts a carefully curated calendar of retreats, creative workshops and seasonal gatherings, led by a wide range of experienced facilitators and practitioners. From full day or longer residential retreats which may include yoga, meditation and sound baths to creative, nature-inspired experiences such as candle making and wreath making, each gathering is held with care and intention.
Most retreats and events take place within our heated tipi gathering space – a welcoming, light-filled setting designed for connection, creativity and rest. Experiences are intentionally small, with limited places available.
To book or enquire, please email with the retreat or event name and the date you wish to attend.
For Maycroft Gatherings please contact Denise – hello@maycroftretreat.co.uk
To be kept up to date with our Retreats and Events please join The Maycroft Collective.
Retreats and Events Calendar
September 2026
Thursday 3rd of September | 6pm to 8pm
Seasonal Yoga and Sauna | guest Mandy Arthur
£35 per person
There’s something really special about welcoming the seasons… not just outside, but within ourselves too.
We’re so pleased to introduce Mandy, who will be hosting our monthly yoga evenings here at Maycroft Retreat.
Mandy’s approach is gently rooted in seasonal yoga and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) — a practice that honours the natural rhythms of the body, the elements, and the changing energy of each season. Rather than pushing or striving, these sessions invite you to slow down, tune in, and move in a way that feels deeply supportive and aligned.
Each month will carry a slightly different
Spring – Renewal Awakening
Summer – Energy Expanding
Autumn – letting Go
Winter – Restoring
You’ll be guided through mindful movement, breath, and stillness, creating space to reconnect with yourself in a quiet, nourishing way.
- First Thursday of every month
- 6pm – 8pm ( an hour of yoga followed by sauna)
- Optional Wild Spa session afterwards
Stay a little longer if you wish… step into the warmth of the sauna, the stillness of the water, and let the evening gently unfold.
This is your invitation to pause, to soften, and to be held by the season you’re in.
Sunday 13th of September | Inspirefit Day retreat

18th to 20th September | Weekend Residential – Noma Escapes Retreat
Private retreat for Noma Escapes Members
NOMA Escapes is a women-only community empowering women across Scotland to explore Scotland (and the world!) – without waiting on others.
Through local events, retreats, and abroad group trips, we help women make new friends, try new things, and stop missing out on experiences they’d love to have simply because they have nobody to go with.
This retreat is designed for women from all walks of life to come together for one shared purpose: to take some well-deserved you time. To unwind, reset, and connect with like-minded women in a supportive, welcoming space.

Full retreat description
The Wild Reset: A full day dedicated to moving, breathing, slowing down and reconnecting with yourself, nature and others.
The day will include an uplifting Pilates session, a restorative yoga flow and meditation, time to unwind in the sauna and embrace the invigorating cold plunge, nourishing food, peaceful walks in nature, and plenty of space to slow down, breathe deeply and simply enjoy the moment.
We’ll begin the day by gently connecting with our bodies and breath, creating space to move, stretch and release. Throughout the day, you’ll have the opportunity to embrace the restorative power of nature, experience the invigorating benefits of the sauna and cold plunge, and take time away from the usual demands of everyday life.
I’m delighted to be working alongside Planted by Cali, who will be preparing a beautiful and delicious plant-based lunch, designed to nourish you from the inside out. We’ll also be joined by Hayley Smith Yoga, who will guide us through a gorgeous yoga flow and calming meditation — helping you to slow down, soften and reconnect with yourself.
There will be time to chat, laugh, connect and meet like-minded people, but also plenty of space for quiet reflection and simply enjoying your own company.
Whether you’re joining us solo, coming with a friend or simply looking for a day to reset and recharge, you’ll be welcomed with open arms and feel right at home.
We can’t wait to welcome you.

RISE Retreat – Living After Loss
A relaxed one-day retreat for widows who would love some time away from everyday life to breathe, connect and simply be. Join us at beautiful Maycroft Retreat for a day of good food, gentle reflection, laughter, conversation and time to yourself, with no pressure and nothing expected of you.
This one-day retreat has been created especially for widows who would love the chance to step away from everyday life for a little while and spend time with other women who understand.
Set in the beautiful surroundings of Maycroft Retreat, the day will be relaxed, warm and informal.
There’ll be time to talk and connect, but there’ll also be time to simply enjoy being somewhere lovely. We’ll share good food, have space for gentle reflection, get outside, laugh, rest and enjoy some of what Maycroft has to offer.
If you fancy it, you’ll also have the opportunity to experience the sauna and cold plunge, but nothing during the day is compulsory. You can join in with what feels right for you and give anything else a miss.
This isn’t therapy and it isn’t a day of sitting in a circle talking about grief.
It’s a chance to spend a day with women who get it, without having to explain yourself or pretend you’re fine when you’re not.
Come on your own – most women do. Come exactly as you are, and let somebody else look after you for a change.
What to bring:
Please wear comfortable, cosy clothes (it is December in Scotland!) and bring suitable footwear for being outdoors. If you’d like to use the sauna and cold plunge, please also bring swimwear, a towel, warm layers and suitable footwear for walking between the facilities. Most importantly, just bring yourself. Everything else will be taken care of.
About your facilitator:
Sarah Murray is the founder of Living After Loss and an Advanced Grief Recovery Method Specialist.
Through Living After Loss, Sarah supports women navigating life after significant loss, creating warm, honest spaces where they can talk openly, feel understood and begin to reconnect with themselves and the life ahead.
Her approach is down-to-earth, practical and compassionate, with plenty of room for humour and real conversation. Sarah believes support after loss doesn’t always have to feel heavy, and that laughter, connection and moments of enjoyment can sit alongside grief.
Her retreats are designed to give women space away from everyday responsibilities, without pressure to share, participate or be anything other than where they are.
