Who would like to join Melanie on a very special Scottish Highland Retreat focused on death, dying, and the art of living? 

 

Step into another time and space when death was conscious and sacred. When we approached our final breath with love and rejoice, returning to heaven and earth with our hearts wide open. There was a time when death was not feared but held with grace and beauty. Last May, my heart led me to a special place in the Scottish Highlands where willow grows tall and baskets, urns, and coffins are weaved. A sacred place where birds sing all day, laughter echoes in the night, flowers and fairies sprinkle their magic dust. This is a place Melanie wants to share with just a few kindred souls who feel this in their bones.

​

This retreat includes:

• Stay on a highland farm 

• Basket and/or urn weaving

• Sacred Ceremony 

• Day visit to Findhorn 

• Local villages & artisan shops

• Stay on the Isle of Skye 

• Day visit to Samye Ling Buddhist Monastery

 

More details will be announced in summer 2026.
