The Primal Path Retreat
30 May 26
Kildonan
Jen Ross
9:30 - 21:00 While the world starts to awaken this Imbolc, we invite our fellow islanders for a day of grounding and renewal. We all know the magic of our "Scotland in Miniature," but how often do we get to pause and truly listen to it? Beyond the summer buzz and the day-tripper trails, this is a day for us—the people who live and breathe this salt air—to gather, slow down, and honor the changing seasons on our own doorstep.
