      “The New Moon Equinox Retreat was an absolutely amazing experience! Not only did I meet wonderful new friends, but I actually got reacquainted with my true self again without all of the negative outside energy of everyday life and my negative self-talk. Jill and D. Francis went above and beyond before and during this entire retreat! They never stopped working! All throughout the retreat, we experienced wonderful meditations, impromptu moments of guidance and learning, group activities and much needed healing and releasing! From pick up at the airport to the final night, the food, the fellowship and the loving energy was the absolute best! The encouragement and the care, along with the friendships and experiences are things I will never forget! Thank you Jill and D. Francis! I am looking forward to many more!”<\/em><\/p>\n

      Departing from Edinburgh Airport<\/strong>, our blessed journey begins with a visit to the legendary Rosslyn Chapel<\/strong>, a masterpiece steeped in mystery and symbolism. Founded in 1446 by Sir William St Clair<\/strong>, this enchanting chapel is renowned for its intricate stone carvings, hidden codes, and sacred geometry. Set amidst the tranquil hills of rural Midlothian<\/strong>, Rosslyn has long inspired seekers, artists, and scholars alike\u2014its mystique deepened by its connection to The Da Vinci Code<\/strong> and the enduring legends of the Knights Templar. Here, we open our pilgrimage in reverence, attuning to the chapel\u2019s timeless energy before relaxing.<\/p>\n

      We will then have a delicious lunch at the Rosslyn Chapel Coffee Shop<\/strong>, located within the stunning new visitor Centre overlooking the serene beauty of Roslin Glen<\/strong>. Using only the finest ingredients from local Scottish suppliers<\/strong>, the caf\u00e9 offers a fresh and innovative menu<\/strong> that celebrates regional flavors. As we dine, we\u2019ll take in the magnificent views of the glen, a perfect moment to pause, reflect, and savor the peaceful energy that surrounds this sacred site before continuing northward through the sacred lands of Scotland.<\/p>\n

      Our next stop takes us to the dramatic cliffs of Dunnottar Castle<\/strong>, one of Scotland\u2019s most breathtaking and storied landmarks. Perched high above the North Sea, this ancient fortress carries the echoes of history within its weathered stone walls. As we walk its windswept pathways and gaze across the vast, untamed coastline, we\u2019ll feel the powerful energies of courage, sovereignty, and resilience that still linger here. This is a place where myth and memory intertwine, a sacred vantage point where earth, sea, and sky unite in timeless majesty.<\/span><\/p>\n

      After breakfast, we begin our scenic drive northward toward Inverness<\/strong>, traveling through the rolling hills and timeless beauty of the Scottish Highlands. Our journey leads us to the Clava Cairns<\/strong>, a 4,000-year-old Bronze Age burial site and one of Scotland\u2019s most mystical stone circles. Surrounded by trees and wildflowers, these perfectly aligned stones are said to mark powerful energetic portals that bridge Heaven and Earth. Here, the veil between worlds feels thin, inviting us to listen deeply and awaken ancient memories.<\/p>\n

      Within the circle, we will hold a sacred ceremony<\/strong> of meditation, sound, and heart-centered intention, connecting with the crystalline grid of the Earth. Following ceremony, we\u2019ll enjoy a picnic lunch among the stones<\/strong>, soaking in the peaceful atmosphere and gentle magic of this sacred landscape.<\/p>\n

      As the afternoon unfolds, we travel north to Gills Bay<\/strong> to board the ferry bound for the Orkney Islands<\/strong>\u2014a crossing that feels like stepping through time. The sea air and rhythmic waves guide us into reflection and anticipation. Upon arrival, we will settle into our charming Orkney hotel, share a hearty meal, and rest in preparation for the ancient wonders that await us on these storied islands.<\/p>\n

      “The Sedona retreat with D. Francis and Jill Jackson was transformative to me not only because of being surrounded by the beauty of Sedona and its energies but also because of the bonds made with seemingly strangers. The stories and connections with people from different locations and phases in life was inspiring and heartwarming as we became a large family by the end.

      After breakfast, we set out to explore the sacred heart of Orkney<\/strong>, beginning our morning at the Stenness Stone Circles<\/strong>, among the oldest ceremonial sites in the British Isles. Here, beneath the northern skies, we will gather in ceremony<\/strong> to honor the ancient energies that flow through this land\u2014connecting with the wisdom of the ancestors and the timeless pulse of the stones themselves.<\/p>\n

      Following our gathering, we\u2019ll enjoy a local lunch<\/strong>, savoring fresh Orkney flavors while taking in the serene island landscape.<\/p>\n

      In the afternoon, we journey onward to the majestic Ring of Brodgar<\/strong>, an immense stone circle surrounded by lochs and open sky. Here, we\u2019ll spend time in channeling and healing circles<\/strong>, opening to messages from the higher realms and harmonizing with the Earth\u2019s energetic field. The atmosphere of Brodgar is otherworldly, its silence alive with memory, mystery, and deep spiritual resonance.<\/p>\n

      As the day draws to a close, we return to our hotel<\/strong>, where a warm dinner and gentle evening await. Together, we will reflect on the profound experiences of the day before settling in for a peaceful night on these ancient, sacred isles.<\/p>\n

      After breakfast, we depart our Orkney hotel<\/strong> and make our way to the ferry terminal at Gills Bay<\/strong>, where we will bid farewell to the mystical islands that have shared their ancient wisdom with us. As we cross the waters back to the mainland, the gentle rhythm of the sea provides the perfect backdrop for quiet reflection, allowing us to integrate the energies and insights received during our time among the sacred stones.<\/p>\n

      Upon arrival, we continue our scenic drive through the northern Highlands<\/strong> toward the charming coastal village of Ullapool<\/strong>, surrounded by mountains, lochs, and sweeping sea views. This day is one of rest, integration, and gentle travel<\/strong>, inviting space to breathe, journal, and allowing new frequencies to settle into the heart and body.<\/p>\n

      In the late afternoon, we will check into our hotel in Ullapool<\/strong>, where cozy comfort and Highland hospitality await. As evening descends, we\u2019ll gather for a relaxing dinner together<\/strong>, sharing reflections and stories from the journey so far before settling in for a peaceful night of renewal and grounding.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

      This morning, we board the ferry from Ullapool to Stornoway<\/strong>, crossing the sparkling waters of the Outer Hebrides. The journey itself feels like a gentle initiation, carrying us deeper into the mystical essence of Scotland\u2019s sacred isles. Upon arrival, we will check into our hotel on the Isle of Lewis<\/strong> and take time to settle in and refresh before enjoying an early dinner<\/strong> together.<\/p>\n

      As twilight begins to descend, we make our way to the Calanais Stone Circles<\/strong>, one of the most powerful and ancient ceremonial sites in all of Scotland. Aligned with the moon\u2019s cycles and built over 5,000 years ago, Calanais holds an energy that is both grounding and celestial.<\/p>\n

      Here, beneath the glowing Full Moon<\/strong>, we\u2019ll gather in sacred ceremony to honor the rhythms of the Earth and the wisdom of our ancestors. Through meditation, sound, and heart-centered connection, we will open to the illumination of lunar light and the guidance it brings for our soul\u2019s journey.<\/p>\n

      After ceremony, we return to our hotel on the Isle of Lewis<\/strong>, carrying the moon\u2019s blessing and feeling such honor that we took part in anchoring new codes of wisdom into the New Earth paradigm.<\/p>\n

      After a relaxing morning<\/strong> on the Isle of Lewis, we will board the ferry from Stornoway back to Ullapool<\/strong>, crossing the shimmering waters one last time and allowing space for reflection and integration of the experiences from the Outer Hebrides. The journey offers a quiet, meditative passage to honor the insights, energies, and awakenings received during our time on the sacred islands.<\/p>\n

      From Ullapool, we continue our scenic drive south through the Highlands<\/strong> toward Inverness<\/strong>, near the legendary Urquhart Castle<\/strong>. Rolling hills, glens, and lochs pass by as we soak in the majesty of this storied landscape, providing the perfect backdrop for journaling, contemplation, or simply absorbing the magic of the land.<\/p>\n

      Upon arrival, we will check into our hotel<\/strong>, where comfort and highland hospitality await. In the evening, we gather for a hearty dinner<\/strong>, sharing reflections and stories from the journey so far. This day is designed as a gentle travel and integration day<\/strong>, offering a restorative pause before we continue exploring the sacred sites and mystical landscapes that remain on our transformative Scottish pilgrimage.<\/span><\/p>\n

      On our final day<\/strong>, we begin with a visit to the iconic Urquhart Castle<\/strong>, overlooking the legendary Loch Ness<\/strong>. As we explore the castle\u2019s historic ruins, the energy of the Highlands surrounds us\u2014inviting reflection on strength, resilience, and the stories of those who walked this land before us. The dramatic setting offers sweeping views of the loch and mountains, providing a powerful space to honor the journey we have shared.<\/p>\n

      From Urquhart, we travel to Kilmartin Glen<\/strong>, one of Scotland\u2019s most sacred landscapes, rich with stone circles, cairns, and ancient monuments<\/strong>. Here, amidst these timeless stones, we will hold our closing ceremony<\/strong>, opening our hearts and grounding the energies we have received throughout the retreat. Through meditation, sound, and intention, we will honor the journey, integrate the wisdom of the land, and celebrate the transformation that has taken place.<\/p>\n

      Following the ceremony, we continue to Oban<\/strong>, where we check into our hotel. The evening offers a final opportunity to dine together<\/strong>, reflect, and celebrate the completion of this profound pilgrimage before preparing for departure the following day.<\/p>\n
