Tribe Fortune

06/09/2026

Today we gathered at Co-Here, the old Baptist Church in Dumfries, for our Monthly Half Day Retreat. Full house. Every single space sold out.

The lovely Susie Gale from Stagwood Pilates opened the day with gentle movement, delivered with care and expert guidance.

Then brunch. Toasted bagels with avocado, smoked salmon, crème fraîche and dill. A side salad of mixed leaves, figs, goat's cheese, toasted walnuts and honey. A seasonal smoothie of beetroot, bramble, oat milk, banana, chia seeds and honey, the beetroot from my own garden and the brambles picked on a hike in the Lake District last week.

Carol Rogerson from Alton Alchemy closed the day with a sound bath, and if you have never lain down under the wash of sound from a singing bowl with nowhere to be, I genuinely do not know how to describe it to you except to say your nervous system knows the difference even if your mind is still catching up.

Days like today are exactly why I built Tribe Fortune. Not to fix anyone. Just to give people somewhere to come as they are, be properly looked after, and leave a little more like themselves than when they arrived.

Both Susie and Carol will be joining us at Vivacity Wellness Festival on 17th October at The Crichton. Early bird tickets end at midnight tonight, so if you have been sitting on the fence, tonight is the night.

And if today's photos are making you wish you had been here, our October Half Day Retreat is open for booking now. Come and find out what a few hours can do.

We had a wonderful day today at opening event! What a super space for all kinds of workshops, events, classes and businesses.

Congratulations to all involved in the restoration 👏👏 We will definitely be looking into hosting more of our Half Day Retreats in Lockerbie!

Thanks to everyone who came along. It was great to be able to tell visitors about our plans, and promote our upcoming Tribe Fortune retreats and events, and tell everyone about It's had a great reception and people are genuinely excited to come along to Scotland's newest large-scale wellbeing experience.

A surprise guest appearance by First Minister, John Swinney was a great photo opportunity! Artist and naturalist, Frank Hayes from For Enjoyment ( a regular guest practitioner at our retreats) hosted a mindful creative print workshop throughout the day and visitors made their own bookmarks using fresh foliage. Don't they look great!

Feet up now, before tomorrow's sold out Half Day Retreat at the old Baptist Church!

"Forage the Falls" is a day spent in the Tweedsmuir Valley. A guided walk and sketch with artist and naturalist Frank Hayes from For Enjoyment. A cold water dip in the pools with Ingrid Campbell from Tweed Valley Wilding, a proper warm up with foraged tea, soup and a picnic lunch, included.
