Finding Light in the Wild: Red Equipment Supporting Wilderness Wellbeing Retreats

Written by Lydia Burdett /

In the depths of a long Scottish winter, when the days are short and many of us feel the chill of isolation, something truly special happens in the heart of the Cairngorms. At the end of January, Wilderness Wellbeing hosted its annual Winter Mental Wellbeing Retreat, a long weekend designed to connect people through nature, nourishment, and shared experience.

This is no ordinary getaway. For many, it’s a lifeline. A space to pause the relentless clock of daily life, surround themselves with a caring community, and rediscover strength through story, movement, and nature’s grounding embrace.
