Over a restorative weekend at Dun Aluinn, guests were invited to slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect with the healing rhythms of nature during the “Wellness with Wilder Botanics” event — a thoughtfully curated escape blending herbal wisdom, nourishing food, and the rugged beauty of the Scottish Highlands.

Throughout the retreat, guests were inspired to engage with wild seasonal herbs, learning how to create simple yet powerful natural remedies to support their wellbeing and that of their loved ones. Guided by the expert team from Wilder Botanics, each session offered hands-on experience with foraging, blending, and crafting botanical preparations — all designed to reconnect participants with nature’s pharmacy.

The weekend also showcased the very best of Highland hospitality. Guests enjoyed exceptional meals crafted from locally sourced produce, with each dish reflecting the season and landscape. Product showcases hosted by the Wilder team offered deeper insights into their approach to herbal wellness, while intimate whisky tastings added a warm, distinctly Scottish touch to the evenings.

Set against a backdrop of sweeping hills and serene woodlands, the retreat struck a perfect balance between relaxation, learning, and immersion in nature. From quiet moments of reflection in the sauna to guided explorations of the surrounding landscape, every element of the weekend was designed to nourish both body and mind.

“Wellness with Wilder Botanics” was more than just a retreat — it was a celebration of natural living, thoughtful connection, and the timeless magic of the Highlands.
