We are grateful you have chosen to connect with us through this space.
Welcome to CAIM – Scotland’s Pioneering Community Haven for Health & Wellness
In a world that often pulls us out of rhythm with ourselves and the natural world, CAIM offers a gentle return. Nestled in the wild beauty of the Perthshire Highlands, CAIM is more than a wellness retreat in Scotland - it’s a sanctuary for those seeking to reconnect with their body’s natural healing intelligence. Our healing retreats in Scotland are rooted in ancient wisdom and modern insight, offering space for transformation, reconnection and deep rest.
Whether you're navigating burnout, seeking a deeper relationship with yourself or craving the warmth of a conscious community, CAIM provides a grounded, holistic space for healing, exploration and growth.
The CAIM Story: Where It All Began
CAIM was born not from a business plan but from a shared calling. Founders Shannon and Rory had walked their own healing paths through stress and burnout, injury, imbalance - seeking transformation. Along the way, they gathered tools that worked, shed those that didn’t and held the vision for a place that could hold the full spectrum of human experience.
Their vision was clear: to create a sustainable model for true health and vitality – one that honours the body, heart, mind and spirit. CAIM is a space where people are empowered to remember their wholeness, supported by nature, ceremony, breath, food, community and truth.
Meet the Visionaries: Founders Shannon and Rory
Behind every retreat at CAIM is the integrity and lived experience of its founders.
Shannon brings a unique fusion of discipline and depth. With a background in the military and finance, she carries a grounded, practical energy – which she now balances with a rich understanding of tantra-kundalini yoga, women's cyclical health, holistic healing and authentic connection.
Rory Lamont, once an international rugby player, now channels his focus into men’s work, Kambo facilitation, nutrition and HeartMath® coaching. His path from physical discipline to emotional and spiritual insight shapes everything offered at CAIM.
Together, they hold a powerful polarity - masculine and feminine, grounded and mystical, fierce and soft. Sharing with care, humility, compassion and an unwavering commitment to service.

The CAIM Approach: A Philosophy of Empowerment
Healing isn’t something given - it’s something we witness, support and invite. At CAIM, we don’t follow prescriptive paths or promise quick fixes. Instead, we offer tools, practices and frameworks that help you become the authority of your own wellness journey.
Our holistic health retreats in Scotland integrate:
Breathwork to regulate and begin to reset the nervous system
Whole-food, plant-based nutrition for hormonal balance, gut health and vitality
HeartMath® coaching to cultivate emotional regulation and resilience
Kambo and plant medicine ceremonies for deep purification and insight
Nature immersion and physical movement to return to the intelligence of the body
Sacred community spaces for authentic connection and integration
This isn’t a one-size-fits-all model. It’s a responsive, intuitive, transformational retreat experience that meets you exactly where you are.
A Space for Transformation: The Ceremonial Roundhouse
At the heart of CAIM stands our ceremonial roundhouse, an 8-metre sacred structure handcrafted from natural materials and nestled in to woodland.
This space holds breathwork, meditation, movement, women’s and men’s circles and spiritual retreats in Scotland. It is where truth is spoken, tears are welcomed, laughter is shared and real transformation is invited.
The roundhouse is more than a building. It’s a temple for remembering - a container of warmth, reverence and recalibration.
What Makes CAIM Unique: A Values-Led Sanctuary
CAIM isn’t just a name plucked from nowhere - it’s a Scottish Gaelic word for “sanctuary” or “circle”. That intention flows through everything we do.
Our retreats are led by values that form our foundation:
Holistic Wellbeing: We honour the whole human - physical, emotional, mental and spiritual.
Empowerment through Education: We don’t heal you - we teach you tools and share advice on how to support yourself. You do the work in your own healing.
Sustainability: From food to energy to land stewardship, we walk lightly.
Authenticity: We show up as we are and we invite you to do the same.
Transformation: We create spaces where growth is possible.
Community and Trust: Every offering is held in care, integrity and transparency.
This is what makes CAIM a truly unique retreat experience in Scotland - rooted, real and reverent.
Reconnect With Yourself at CAIM
Whether you’re longing to reconnect with your body or simply seeking space to breathe, CAIM welcomes you. We offer a rare kind of sanctuary, not a break from your life but a return to what’s essential.
In community, in nature and in deep presence with yourself, you are invited to remember who you really are.
