Five days. Just you. Everything changes.
Bespoke solo retreats with Deborah Lewin in the wild beauty of Northeast Scotland - weaving movement and Constellation work for deep, lasting change.
Perhaps something has been asking for your attention for a long time. Perhaps it’s a recent development.
Maybe you know what it is. Maybe you don't — not yet. What you do know is that ordinary life doesn't give you the space to find out.
A ‘Just Me’ Retreat does.
Five days, just the two of us, held in some of the most beautiful landscapes in Scotland. No group dynamic. No agenda imposed from outside. Just you, your body, your timing - and my complete attention.
Using movement and Constellation work as the gateways, we go where the surface doesn't reach. What emerges tends to surprise people. What changes tends to last.

What’s included..
Every retreat is entirely bespoke. Woven through our time together:
In-depth private sessions with Deborah, using the transformational power of movement and Constellation work
Comfortable accommodation in a beautiful setting
Locally sourced, mindfully prepared meals
Massage and bodywork tailored to your needs
Ample time for walking, resting, meditating, journalling - and simply being
“Deborah paid close attention to everything that I was saying and that my body was saying. I found her attention to detail, listening skills and ability to follow what was coming up for me to be exquisite.
It wasn’t always easy in that challenging things came up for me but I appreciated that Deborah could hold me gently at those edges of more unexplored territory. I loved the ritualistic aspect of some of what we did which was new for me but quite powerful.”
Who is this for..
You might be at a crossroads. Moving through grief, transition, or a long-held weight you haven't been able to put down. You might simply know - with a quiet certainty or a nagging sensation - that something is stuck; not sitting right within you, or calling you forwards in your life, and that you need space and support for something new to emerge.
People come to ‘Just Me’ Retreats from elsewhere in Scotland and across the world. Many are therapists, coaches, or practitioners themselves. Others are poets or parents; human beings navigating all that life brings. Many have tried other things. Most describe the experience as unlike anything else they've done.
Our location..
The retreats are held in Northeast Scotland - a landscape of vast skies, ancient coastline, the Findhorn Bay and Moray Firth, where the quality of light and silence does something to people before the work even begins. This is where I live and where I've practised for over 25 years. I bring you into the landscape I know and love.
The first step is a conversation..
If something in you is saying yes — or even maybe — I'd love to talk. I offer a complimentary 45-minute inquiry session so we can meet, you can ask anything, and we can both sense whether this is right for you.
There is no pressure. There is no script. It's simply a conversation.

Watch & Listen as Mar’ce Merrell speaks about her experience of working with Deborah Lewin
“I feel new, regenerated, enlivened and alive… I urge you open yourselves to all kinds of possibilities… the movement, the land, the inquiry, the space that you’re in is beautiful… a place where you can experience life at a different kind of pace and everything is allowed…”
‘Just Me’

“I work intensively with you, using your body as the medium to access information that will catalyse change in your life, in a very creative and intuitive way.”
-Deborah Lewin
‘Love Notes’
“The constellations we did were very powerful, and some results from those shifts have already begun to manifest. I want to emphasise that Deborah is an excellent constellation facilitator because, in my opinion, she possesses the clarity, kindness, and heart that are necessary and essential for this type of delicate and profound work.”
“Working with Deb on a Just Me Retreat is an investment in learning new ways of working with myself, of embodying the intention I set for “clarity of being-ness.” The crucible is made from all the parts together. Deb is capable of calling in all the parts. I am capable of meeting them, no matter the content/the vibration they carry. ”
“Thanks for everything, for every detail, for every word, for your goodness… it has been an extraordinary time…I feel my heart full.”
“Deborah’s eldership is perceptible; it is kind, humorous, widely wry and above all accurate.”
“You held me, I trusted you fully without doubt. When I crashed you caught me, you held me and brought me back up where I can show my face again without shame.”
“It’s been one hell of a journey and I thank you for your patience, perseverance, and whole-heartedness, I feel extremely privileged.”
“The deeply embedded exhaustion in the cells of my body has gone. I feel like I have fresh air inside now.”
“When you’re doing a Retreat, there’s no escape in between the sessions. You just get to really be fully present with whatever comes up and go deeper. You drop a layer. You get out of your own old body, a whole skin. I have changed my energy, there is no going back.”
“In retrospect I didn’t realise what was being carried. There were vague psychological memories that had been shut down; a haunting. I now have a clear perspective of the past and can feel it is no longer a part of me, in that haunting way it was.”
“There are few practitioners with the depth of integrity, knowledge and experience as Deborah so if you get a chance to work with her, take it with both hands and an open heart.”
“(A Just Me Retreat) was a great gift to myself. It is a big investment, but it is worth it. It’s hard to find such a thing as this, not getting disturbed by my daily life, by my surroundings, the people in my surroundings. It’s a flowing process. It’s really worthwhile.”
“Deborah is deeply empathic, loving, knowledgeable and professional. The perfect guide for me.”
