The castle’s amenities were top notch along with our chef and butler who elevated our stay even higher with their dedication and attentiveness.

Your knowledge and research in your previous visits helped select tours and walks that gave us rich insights to the history of Scotland and an appreciation of the gorgeous countryside. It was wonderful to arrive and be steered along. I would never have found all of these places on my own. You created an open, inspiring and gentle environment for us to open, support and help each other as well. Our meals were fabulous thanks to Gulli and Ronny took gallant care of us and knew what we needed before we did. You brought a team together who connected and gifted us all with memories to last a lifetime! I am eternally grateful for my Scottish experience and the wise women I shared it with. I am grateful as well to have been able to share with you and learn from you. Thank you so very much for such a rewarding and enriching week!
- I signed up for Andrea's retreat after going through a bad breakup. I travelled to Scotland on my own, something I have never done before. This retreat surpassed my expectations. Ronny, our butler was exceptional. One of the kindest humans I've had the pleasure of meeting. He went above and beyond his duties to ensure that we lacked for nothing. I'm somewhat of a fussy eater and on this trip, I ate everything that was put in front of me. Gully, our chef, created the best meals I've ever had. I'm not exaggerating, she's brilliant. And the sweetest soul. Andrea was such a delight! She made sure all the t's were crossed and the i's dotted. She literally thought of everything. Her attention to detail did not go unnoticed, it was like being in a fairytale. She was so warm and receptive, not to mention funny! Her knowledge of the Scottish history was very impressive. She organized the tours with efficiency to ensure we maximized every minute. Blu's beautiful presence was calming and a great compliment to the retreat. I learned a lot from both of these wonderful ladies. Lastly, I met THE most incredible women on this retreat. Women who will be life long friends. I truly feel blessed to have been part of this adventure. Thank you all so very much!
- This retreat was packed with adventure and new experiences. I've never done a retreat before and I'm grateful to have been a part of it.▪Leave it to Andrea to plan an amazing retreat in the Highlands of Scotland in a castle no less! Women of Wisdom...you have paved the way for us by sharing your knowledge and experiences. I feel honoured to have learned so much from you. You make a difference.

Description
This magnificent healing retreat will take place in the picturesque Highlands of Scotland, just a few miles outside Inverness on the Firth of Moray.
Step inside the ancient walls of Teaninich Castle and you'll find yourself in a luxurious castle with a fascinating past.
A fortress fit for a king or queen, the castle features beautiful expansive lawn looking over the Firth of Moray and the Black Isle, a butler to greet you, fine dining with a chef and 11 beautifully appointed bedrooms (some with four-poster beds, naturally).
A little history . . . There was a defensive structure at Teaninich since the Iron Age or Early Medieval period. It was labelled in the Scott’s Gaelic as Cnoc a’Chaistell meaning Castle Hill. This enclosed area was approximately 32 by 29 meters, with defensive banks and ditches as well as postholes and pits. Those structures are no longer visible.
Archival records show that the Munros were in possession of Teaninich from at least the 1600s. In the 16th century the lands in which Teaninich Castle are located were known as Fyrish. In 1588 King James the 6th of Scotland (James I of England) granted the lower quarter of Fyrish lands to a Hugh Munro (1565-1593, 1st of Teaninich). Records show that his grandson, Hugh Munro (1625-1701, 4th of Teaninich) expanded the family estate.
Hugh the 4th of Teaninich, his grandson (Hugh Munro, 5th of Teaninich) and his great grandson (Royal Navy Captain James Munro, 1719-1788) were in possession of Teaninich during the Jacobite uprisings.
There is a lintel in the back of the castle dated 1734 and Teaninich Castle appears in a military survey of Scotland map dated 1750. Because the Munros fought on the side of King George II in the Jacobite uprisings which ended in 1746, their estates were not forfeited and the Munro ownership continued.
It is said that the writer Frances Hodgson Burnett had visited Teaninich Castle and that the mysterious walled garden at Teaninich may have helped inspire her book the “Secret garden”.
Each one-of-a-kind room is luxuriously decorated with rich Scottish fabrics and period furniture, worthy of a stay from a royal visitor.
Daily meditation and healing sessions will be offered in a way to relax, stimulate, and help guests grow in their own personal practice. We will also be offering Women’s Circles for shared wisdom, laughter and teachings.
