We are grateful you have chosen to connect with us through this space.


In the heart of the Scottish Highlands, where nature’s beauty mirrors life’s own rhythm, wellness retreats in Scotland offer a sacred opportunity to step away from the busyness of life and reconnect with yourself.


At CAIM, we believe that healing is not just a journey - it’s an unfolding, one breath, one moment at a time. Our retreats are designed to guide you, blending ancient wisdom with modern practices to nurture your body, mind and spirit.


This belief stems from our own lived experience. For CAIM’s co-founder Rory Lamont, more than ten years ago, his life was at a crossroads.


A devastating rugby injury forced him to retire early and the aftermath left him physically broken, emotionally lost and spiritually adrift. Searching for answers, he found himself embarking on a journey of profound transformation - a journey that ultimately led to the creation of CAIM.


It is this deeply personal experience that inspires everything we offer here. Our retreats are a reflection of the healing and renewal discovered in nature, through community and by reconnecting with the essence of who we truly are.

Wellness Retreats in Scotland


In a world that often demands more than we can give, wellness retreats are a lifeline - an invitation to pause, reflect and recalibrate. The Scottish Highlands, with its serene lochs, ancient forests and majestic mountains, create the perfect setting for this kind of restoration. Here, amidst the stillness, you’re invited to reconnect with your essence and align with the natural rhythms and cycles of life.


At CAIM, the Scotland retreats we facilitate are more than just a getaway. They are an immersive journey into holistic well-being, where every moment is crafted to support you - with the opportunity for a true example of wellness for transformation. 


The Transformative Benefits of Wellness Retreats


Physical Healing and Rejuvenation


The body carries the weight of modern living, from environmental toxins to the stress of daily demands. For Rory, after years of pushing his body to its limits in professional sport, he was left depleted, riddled with injuries and uncertain how to recover. 


At CAIM, our retreats provide a sanctuary where the body can rest, cleanse and heal. We emphasise a holistic approach, focusing on key practices that nurture both physical, mental and emotional well-being:


Detoxification: Through nutrient-rich, plant-based meals inspired by Medical Medium protocols, we gently support the body’s natural detoxification processes. We have lived by these protocols for the last 5 years and they remain at the heart of our approach.

Therapies: From movement, infrared sauna sessions, hyperbaric oxygen therapy to cold-water immersion, all the modalities we weave into our retreats are used to revitalise and restore your physical vitality. Enhancing cellular regeneration promoting deep physical healing.


Each element works in harmony to leave you feeling lighter, stronger and more energised. Just as these therapies helped us rebuild, they can support you in the same way or by rediscovering your vitality.

Mental Clarity and Stress Relief


The mind, too, deserves a space to rest. CAIM co-owner Shannon stepped away from the corporate and city life after experiencing burnout and mental exhaustion. It was through mindfulness practices and reconnecting with nature that she began to find clarity again.


At CAIM, mindfulness practices are at the heart of our retreats:


Meditation: Guided sessions create space for inner stillness and peace.

Digital Detoxing: Disconnecting from screens allows you to reconnect with the present moment.

Nature Immersion: The tranquillity of the Highlands offers a natural balm for the mind, inviting you to slow down and breathe deeply.


In this serene environment, mental fog lifts and you’ll find yourself thinking with renewed focus and calm. These practices were integral to both our journeys and we are honoured to share them with our guests.


Emotional and Spiritual Growth


Transformation is not complete without tending to the heart and soul. At CAIM, our retreats in Scotland offer a safe space to explore your inner world and connect with others in meaningful ways.


We emphasise this by incorporating:


Heart-Brain Coherence Coaching: Sharing techniques to align your emotional and mental states, fostering inner balance.

Ceremonial Gatherings: These sacred moments of connection invite reconnection to life's rhythms and spiritual awakening.

Breathwork: Harnessing the power of your breath to release emotional blockages and access deeper resilience.


During our darkest moments, it was connection - to ourselves, to others and to something greater that became the cornerstone of our healing. Here, amidst the natural beauty of Scotland, you’ll reconnect with your essence and discover new layers of self-awareness.

Why Scotland is the Ultimate Destination for Wellness Retreats


Scotland’s landscapes are a reflection of the soul - wild, serene and profoundly grounding. The Highlands, in particular, offer a unique blend of rugged beauty and tranquillity, creating an ideal environment for introspection and healing.


At CAIM, we honour this connection to the land. Our location in Highland Perthshire allows guests to immerse themselves in the timeless flow of nature, where every walk through the woods or moment of stillness by the fire becomes part of your healing journey. This is what makes Scottish Highlands wellness retreats so profoundly restorative. We chose this setting because it was here that we experienced our own breakthroughs - the peace and power of this land are undeniable.
