This month we hosted what I hope will be the first of many Wellness Hub gatherings! It was a true meeting of like-minded souls. The stunning Ardmay House in Arrochar was the venue for our Wellness Hub Retreat, owned and run by the wonderful Margaret Ritchie, a lady of many talents, a nutritionist and a member of my Wellness Hub!

22 of us gathered in breathtaking scenery, greeted by a beautiful rainbow, blue skies and sunshine! Laughter and hilarity was the theme of the weekend, what a truly exceptional time we had! So many wonderful and talented people in the group, all happy to share their unique gifts with us! The wonderful Iris Barrie Sengun was my right-hand woman, she is an exceptional organiser, whereas I am totally chaotic!! So everything ran smoothly from start to finish! We started the day with a dip in the loch, followed by warming ginger shots! After breakfast, QI gong led by the wonderful Frances Peachey Park on the lawn surrounded by beautiful scenery.

Food was a massive part of the weekend and so many members had brought homemade ferments, nut butters, and we even had highland honey from the lovely Nessa Findlay's own bees!! I supplied all the sourdough for the weekend, all organic and made with love! The wonderful Kate Cowan  brought along an exceptional selection of beautiful homemade cake bites, seed bars, energy bites, all packed with gut-healthy ingredients, gf, refined sugar-free, dairy free and absolutely delicious! Margaret and her lovely staff made us an abundance of delicious food, using recipes from the Wellness Hub, so we can all recreate them at home.

• We had the amazing @paulinefairley doing treatments and lulling us to sleep each night with her beautiful crystal singing bowls.

• We laughed, danced, swapped books, coloured in, had a natural skincare session with scobys, and our amazing May Riddell  entertained us all with her storytelling and fun games!

• We bathed in the beautiful forest, mindfully walking and breathing in the fresh and pure air.

• Crafty hour was such fun, led by the fabulous Janet KL, reminding us all to take time out to play and get creative!

• The wonderful I Am Jen Wilson, The Healing Rebel came up on the Saturday to do treatments for us and join us for lunch!

No one wanted to leave. We have created a wonderful community of the loveliest people, no judgement, only acceptance and support, as we all journey together to become the best version of ourselves! The memories of that weekend will stay with us forever!

The weekend was full of laughter, community, support and connection; it was the embodiment of everything I hoped the Wellness Hub would become when I created this space. I cannot thank you all enough for joining me and making the Wellness Hub the incredible, welcoming, inclusive, loving space that it is.
