Ancestral connection
Scotland is a storied land. Our lore, deeply entwined with the land, is carried in the old stories. Myth, legend, folklore and history await in every glen, hilltop and castle.
We meet local storytellers who continue the ancient oral tradition, bringing us into intimate contact with the land, sea, sky and the people of Scotland.
This 12-day journey takes us from the medieval city of Edinburgh, to the shores of Loch Tay and over the sea to 5,000 year old standing stones on the Isle of Lewis in the Outer Hebrides. We gather with local storytellers and musicians in each location.
Along the way we weave the stories of the land, with the story of you and your ancestors into a more cohesive whole, bringing you back home renewed.
This trip is for anyone drawn to Scotland through ancestral or soul longing who wants to deepen their connection to this sacred land and her stories.
Scotland in Stories
August 31-Sept 4, 2026
Ancestral Connection Wilderness Vigil
May 2-13, 2027
Slowing down, making space to be in deep contemplation and connection with the land, sea and sky has always been part of the Celtic tradition.
The stories speak of those who went out into the hills often for three days, and returned with gifts previously unimaginable.
This time of vigil, prayer, or quest is common throughout cultures across the world. A ritual to carve out space from daily life, to step out of time, and be in conversation with the more-than-human, with the ancestors and the unseen forces.
This 12-day trip takes us to one of the remotest places in Scotland, culminating in a three-day solo wilderness vigil on its wild western shore.
This trip is for those ready to engage deeply in ancestral and cultural healing work with a focus on connecting with the Earth-honoring, spiritual traditions of the British Isles and Northern Europe.

From Participants
“I feel much closer to my ancestors, and my gratitude, which was great already, has become much deeper and gentler.”
“The reconnection to prayer and moving slowly in nature was so nourishing”
“This was a deep and profound experience that helped me shift intergenerational energies in a way that will continue to resonate for years to come. The land is a sacred and magical place, and having time to be there in prayer while fasting is a transformational experience and being involved in the two week ceremony around it will change your life.
Kat holds space and ceremony with grace and great reverence which is an energy and power that is inspiring to be in the presence of.
This is an experience for the brave, for the ones wanting deep healing and for those open to guidance from the unseen realms, the ancestors who are just waiting to connect with you! If you feel the call in your bones, I suggest you listen.”
“I'm noticing other people's subtle shifts towards me because I'm more present and more alive.”
“I feel closer to my ancestors and more guided by them. I feel like I made space to honor them which led to shifts within my own body and a repatterining around my limiting beliefs, my fears and struggles that I feel I overcame on an inter-generational and somatic level.”
“The organization and locations of this journey truly facilitated the entry into a glimpse of ancestral lives. The facilitators offered kind amd thoughtful support during the solo solo vigil. For anyone ready to take a deep dive, this journey will offer a powerful entry.”
“This process helped me to connect more deeply with myself, with my sisters on this journey, with my maternal ancestors, and with nature. I feel a new openness to experience and to allowing life to happen without pushing or trying to control the outcome. I definitely feel more at ease and free in many ways that support my health and well-being.”
“This journey gave me the deepest connection to soul which felt totally uplifting, like being taken out of time into timeless time. it felt sparkly and new and naked all at once, and this soul feeling was everywhere, in the song of the birds, in the sounds of the water, in the eyes of the other women,”
May the nourishment of the earth be yours,
May the clarity of light be yours,
May the fluency of the ocean be yours,
May the protection of the ancestors be yours.
