Generally, yes — this is not a beginner retreat. We’ll be moving through deep ritual, embodied practice, and emotional territory that asks for presence, self-responsibility, and a relationship with the sacred.

That said, you don’t need to have years of experience or a “perfect” spiritual practice. If you feel called to be here, the core prerequisite is your willingness to meet your edges with honesty, courage, and devotion.

This retreat is for women who are ready to turn toward both discomfort and pleasure — to walk through the fire and into their fullest expression. If that excites your soul (even if it scares your ego), you’re likely in the right place.

Yes, 100%. You don’t need to know anything about Celtic wisdom or history to be here.

This retreat is about remembering, beingness, and receivership. It’s for women who feel drawn to the land, to earth-based ritual, and to something ancient that lives in their bones (even if they can’t explain why).

We’ll guide you into the stories, symbols, and magic of this place in a way that’s embodied, accessible, and alive.

We’ve thought through every detail — so once you arrive, you can fully drop in.

Here’s what your experience includes:

• 10-day retreat in Scotland: 5 nights in the Highlands near Inverness + 4 nights near Edinburgh

• All private accommodations and transport between locations

• Entry to the Beltane Fire Festival

• Sacred ceremonies, creative rituals, embodiment practices, and wild sisterhood

• Visits to ancient sites, waterfalls, and sacred sites

• 3 delicious meals per day, plus snacks, tea, and dessert

• Group mentorship with Sierra + Kat

• A professional group photoshoot to capture your transformation

• Plus a few surprise gifts and sacred touches to make the experience truly unforgettable

Not at all. While we may create space for creative visioning or intuitive brand work (especially through ritual and art), this is not a business retreat. It’s for the full woman — artist, healer, mother, seeker, rebel, mystic — who is ready to reconnect with herself in a deeper way.

If you're a business owner, amazing — this will nourish your work. If you're not, equally amazing — this will nourish your life.

Then you’re already doing the bravest part — saying yes to something that stretches you.

You don’t need to have attended a retreat before or consider yourself “spiritual enough.” What you do need is a willingness to show up honestly, meet your edges with courage, and open to transformation.

Ash + Nectar isn’t for beginners in the sense of dipping your toes in — it’s for women who are ready to walk into the fire of their own becoming. And if that excites you, even if it scares you too? You’re likely in exactly the right place.

This isn’t about being ready. It’s about being willing. We’ve got you. The land will hold you. And you won’t be walking alone.

No. Your investment covers nearly everything over your entire stay in Scotland during the retreat, but you will need to cover the following:

• Flights to and from Scotland

• Transportation to/from the retreat venue before arrival or after departure

• Travel insurance (optional, but strongly recommended)

Everything else? Consider it handled.

Definitely. You’ll receive a detailed welcome guide with everything you need to feel prepared and at ease.

We’ll include packing tips, recommended flight windows, and some beautiful pre-retreat rituals to start tuning into the energy of what’s coming.

Most rooms will be shared with one other woman (think cozy and beautiful, not crowded).

That said, we do have a limited number of private room upgrades available. These will be offered first to women on the waitlist, so if having your own space is important to you, we recommend joining early to claim it.

You’ll receive a confirmation email to celebrate your space being officially held.

Then, in the weeks to come, we’ll send you your official welcome guide and add you to a private retreat group where you can start connecting with other women who are coming.

This is when the magic really begins.

It’s natural to feel a mix of excitement and fear when stepping into something soul-expanding. If your body is saying yes, we invite you to trust that, and create a ritual around the act of payment - envision yourself getting an infinite ROI on this investment, whether it's financial, spiritual, personal, relational, etc. We’ve also created payment plan options to make it as doable as possible!

Yes. We’ll be offering group mentorship woven through the retreat — supporting you in your body, creativity, voice, and personal leadership. Think of us as guides, mirrors, and sisters on the path with you.

Everything will be privately catered and beautifully prepared to nourish you from the inside out. We can accommodate most dietary needs — just let us know when we reach out with your intake form.

No — the $1000 waitlist discount, photoshoot with Sierra, intuitive reading with Kat, private room priority are exclusive to the waitlist enrollment window.

You’ll have space to breathe. As neuro-divergent queens we know how important downtime is!

While we’ll be guiding powerful experiences every day, there will also be intentional rest time woven in — to nap, journal, explore, or simply stare at the Scottish landscape and sky.

This is not about constant doing. It’s about being, becoming, expanding, and integrating.
