Essence of the Dragonfly,
​2026
Held in the grounds of Dunfallandy House in one of our beautiful Yurts.
This weekend is focussing more on the physical body. Some of the workshops will help to gently move your energy to flow with ease, while the rest will be focussed on how we can help to obtain maximum physical health.
.
As always we have 8 rooms available in Dunfallandy House itself (details below)
.
We begin on Friday evening with supper in the house followed by a short film in the yurt which is always such a cosy way to start the weekend.
.
This weekend, I have allowed for more free time to relax and integrate with everyone, as well as having a mobile sauna & plunge pool for you to take advantage of.
.
If you choose to stay on site, you will receive a continental breakfast Saturday/Sunday morning. Snacks & lunches are provided for both days.
On Saturday night, we will be ordering pizzas from Jessie's to enjoy in the house. Alternatively there are many restaurants in Pitlochry for you to visit.
.
2026 is the year of the firehorse, which means we have the chance to use this energy to truly ground our passion, our purpose & to know that every time we choose love over fear, we are creating more peace for ourselves & humanity.
Friday 29th May
The weekend begins with supper in the house at 6.30pm after which, we will head out to the beautiful yurt with its cosy wood burner, to enjoy a short inspirational documentary/film, chosen to enhance ethos of the weekend.
Saturday 30th May

LUNCH
WORKSHOP 3
Discover Ayurvedic Medicine with Mai
Mai’s journey with Ayurveda began over 20 years ago during a career break from the Corporate world.
In truth it was a journey which was driven by bouts of poor health & frustration at never quite getting to the ‘root’ of it all. Having always had a keen interest in yoga, self-care and nutrition she learned that Ayurveda respected our unique constitutions, so began living a very Ayurvedic lifestyle, incorporating Yoga & Meditation into her every day life.
Soon she found her way back to health and vibrancy and felt called to share this ancient knowledge, which makes so much sense to those who eventually find it.
.
This workshop will ignite your interest in how the seasons affect our digestion & how best to work with them for ultimate health
Saturday Evening
Saturday evening we will be ordering pizzas from Jessie's to enjoy at Dunfallandy, where you can relax, integrate and use the mobile sauna & plunge pool.
​
Alternatively you can take a walk or drive into Pitlochry to enjoy the many restaurants we have on offer.
Sunday 31st May

Pilates with Carol
Carol has over 16 years experience teaching pilates. She is passionate about helping people move with confidence & enjoyment, creating workshops that are welcoming, energising & uplifting.
​
Through her business, Embody Perthshire, she brings a warm, encouraging approach to movement that supports strength, balance and overall well being.
​
Carol will be taking you through a short warm up session to awaken and energise your physical body for the day ahead.
LUNCH
WORKSHOP 3
Tai Chi with Primal Dragon
David taught at the Spirit for the first time last year& I was inundated with requests for him to return.
He lives & breathes his passion, which is cultivating the warrior spirit within each and every client. Having served as a Royal Marine, discipline came easily & has served him well. He left the marines on a quest to learn more about the spiritual side of life & this led him to study with the Shaolin Monks for many years.
​
His approach is gentle and informative & definitely someone who is walking his talk. You won’t be disappointed with this workshop & its affect on your physical body .
Accommodation
The cost of each room is £300 and I will detail below the beds available in each room.
The cost includes Friday/Saturday/Sunday evening but the workshops finish Sunday pm so Sunday night stays don't include breakfast on Monday morning but Pitlochry has many a great café where you can get a breakfast before you head off - I'd recommend Jessie's!
.
Check in will be from 3pm on the Friday
.
The Hotel now offers Continental breakfast which will be available in the Dining Room and each room has its own Tea/Coffee making facilities.
​
Each room has ensuite showers and access to the whole house except for the Kitchen.
. ​
The House offers a small Bar, Sitting Room and a separate Lounge.
There is outdoor seating available too.
Plenty parking space and only a 5 minute drive into Pitlochry
