A nourishing, story-rich voyage through the Small Isles and Inner Hebrides, guided by skipper and yoga teacher Celia Bull and renowned historian/storyteller, Qi Gong practitioner, and wild food forager Camille Dressler. This journey blends movement, myth, landscape, and sea into a restorative week of exploration.

What to Expect

Each evening we anchor in a quiet, remote bay where the rhythm of tide and wind becomes our backdrop. Days unfold gently as we sail between islands, walk ancient paths, practice yoga and qigong, swim in clear Hebridean waters, and settle into moments of stillness.

This voyage is designed as both an inner and outer journey — a time for reflection, laughter, shared stories, and the deep ease that comes from living simply and closely with others. Every group brings its own magic, and every year the weather shapes a unique adventure.

Story, Myth & Island Wisdom

Camille brings the cultural heart of the Hebrides alive through:

• Island folklore and oral history
• Stories of place, people, and myth
• Gentle qigong sessions inspired by the landscape
• Wild food knowledge and foraging moments when conditions allow

Her presence weaves a sense of belonging and continuity into the voyage, grounding our days in the rich heritage of the islands.

Yoga, Movement & Embodied Exploration

Celia offers accessible yoga and mindful movement sessions suitable for all abilities. Practice may take place:

• On deck in the morning light
• On beaches or hilltops
• In sheltered community spaces or yurts
• Onboard during weatherier spells

Movement is always invitational — a way to soften, reconnect, and feel at home in your body.

Sailing & Seamanship

We make the most of whatever weather Scotland gifts us. Some days bring warm sunshine and sparkling seas; others invite creativity and cosy anchorage time. Whatever we meet, you will learn to sail Selkie: set sails and hold our course.
