Embodied Rest Retreat: A Nervous System Journey through Scotland
Inverness, Scotland — May 6th-11th 2027
A 5-day embodied travel experience through the Scottish Highlands designed to regulate the nervous system, restore the body, and return you to yourself.
You are warmly invited to join me in the Scottish Highlands for a 5-day embodied travel retreat designed to bring you back into your body, your breath, and a deeper sense of aliveness. Through-line Retreats are rooted in softness, beauty, nervous system restoration, and genuine human connection. In Scotland, we slow everything down and let the landscape do much of the work for us. Misty hills, ancient stone, winding coastal paths, and quiet stillness become part of the practice.
This is not a retreat filled with back-to-back classes. It is a slow, guided journey through landscape, movement, and rest. Rather than a packed itinerary, our days unfold with intention and spaciousness. We move between gentle somatic yoga, guided walks through Outlander-like terrain, nourishing meals shared together, nervous system education and integration practices, and long stretches of rest that are just as important as anything we do.
This is not a retreat about pushing, performing, or trying to “fix” yourself. It is a return. A softening. A chance to step out of the intensity of everyday life and remember what it feels like to be held by land, rhythm, and community. You will be taken care of in the sweetest of ways!
You can expect cozy accommodations, nourishing food, optional bodywork, facials, time in nature each day, meaningful conversation, and moments that stay with you long after you return home. The retreat house is unbelievably inspiring and magical.
This experience is for those who feel called to slow down. For those who want to reconnect with themselves in a way that feels real and embodied, not rushed or prescribed. For those who are craving beauty without pressure, and connection without overwhelm.
Whether we are walking through the Highlands, sharing coffee in the misty morning light, soaking in warmth after a day outdoors, or gathering around the table for dinner, everything is designed to support one simple intention: to help you feel more like yourself again.
If this speaks to something in you, I would love to have you join us.

This is an intimate 9 person retreat. All of the retreats I lead are intimate on purpose to create a comfy atmosphere that is nervous system regulating and gentle. The people who come are aware of the space they are sharing with others and are respectful of the overall noise and energy of the sacred space.
The retreats honor where you are—mentally, physically, and emotionally. Come as you are and restore. All movement classes are for all activity-levels as are our daily excursions through The Highlands. Bodywork and skincare will be catered to your own unique needs.
Prices are per person. If you wish to share a room with a friend or family member, please let me know. All rooms are first come first serve when booking. If you choose a shared room and are traveling solo, you will share with a new friend you haven’t met yet!

In case of illness or emergency, I will do my best to find a solution/have another participant take the space. It is possible to give your space to a friend, just inform me at least 1 week before the retreat takes place.

Testimonials

"Have you ever experienced that feeling of a big, healing exhale after not realizing you’ve been holding your breath? That’s what this retreat felt like. That sudden heave of your chest, a fresh heartbeat, a flutter of life, followed by that first lungful of clarity that sets you off on a new, beautiful course. Danielle’s ability to create the space for you to stop and take stock, to recalibrate and restore, is a gift that can’t be overstated. Whether we needed to be seen, to be heard, or simply given a chance to just “be” again after we had all traveled through many chapters of life, Dani creates the space, both physically and emotionally, to seek and find exactly what you need in her retreats. To be cared for and nurtured in such a way is a gift I didn’t even realize I needed to badly, but after a week in her orbit I felt a recharge that had been years in the making. Dani (and Sasha!) has a unique ability to open hearts to beauty and peace, showcasing a talent for hospitality, yes - but also a true gift for allowing everyone around them to feel at home… Even when traveling in a faraway kingdom of magic and history."

“I was so overwhelmed with gratitude and a heart wide open after attending Dani’s Through-line retreat. Her ability to lead a group in a. calm, grounded, joyful way really set the tone or my nervous system to receive. I didn’t realize how much I needed it until I was there. I continue to receive and contemplate the many blessings and energy shifts I had during this time.”

"Attending my first Through-Line Retreat was nothing short of transformative. I’ve never felt so deeply seen, loved, and accepted by a group of people—especially ones I had just met. The space Dani created was filled with unconditional love, vulnerability, and genuine connection, allowing each of us to show up fully and authentically. My heart cracked wide open on that first retreat, and it’s still open in the most beautiful way. I met some of my best friends on these retreats—people who live on the other side of the country but have become some of the closest, most meaningful relationships in my life. That initial experience shifted so much for me that I signed up for multiple other Through-Line retreats afterward, including the international retreat to Switzerland. Each experience stretched my comfort zone and expanded my capacity for connection, self-trust, and growth. Because of these experiences, I now feel a deeper presence in my friendships, a more embodied connection to myself through somatic practices, and, for what felt like the first time, a true sense of nervous system regulation. (Just attend a retreat at Dani’s home in Montana—your whole body will understand.) These retreats reminded me that it’s possible to build a soul-aligned community in just days when you’re met with open hearts and a safe space to be fully yourself. If your heart is calling you to take a leap—across the country or across the world—with people you've never met, I hope you’ll say yes. There’s so much magic, healing, and joy waiting for you on the other side."

"Dani is the absolute best! I have been to a couple retreats. I always meet the best people from all over and leave with deep connections. The vibes are cozy and nourishing to the soul."
Jesse
Hi, love. I’m Dani Boltz—a licensed bodywork practitioner, retreat guide, and cozy gal who wholeheartedly believes in the power of slowing down, connecting deeply, laughter, and creating beauty in the everyday.
I’ve been leading retreats for the past nine years, and they’ve become a kind of seasonal nourishment for me—a rhythm I return to for clarity, connection, and care.
I believe healing happens in community. There’s something powerful about coming together in safe, heart-led spaces where we can laugh, cry, sleep, and just be.
I host retreats both abroad and at my home retreat property in Northwest Montana. The land here is deeply restorative and the rituals I’ve cultivated in this space have shaped my own healing in ways I’ll forever be grateful for. I weave these rituals into every retreat.
At my retreats, you’ll usually find me making every corner feel cozy and intentional, offering you a warm mug of something nourishing, and holding space for you to show up just as you are. I’m here to help you feel at home—in your body and in the space we get to share together.
I can’t wait to meet you and be your new cozy friend.
-Dani
