"I was drawn to the quest because it was exactly what we were looking for- a quest to a faraway land with extraordinary people where I will learn how to better connect to nature. I believe it was everything I expected and more. I really enjoyed the pace of everything. It seemed we had many activities yet at the same time there was plenty of time for rest. I loved that balance."
H.B. U.S.A.


 "My quest with Catriona was a life-changing, enchanting experience. She's a grounded teacher, offering her gifts of magic in the most humble way. The quest had far-reaching effects- the limbs continue to stretch out into my everyday life experience and sprout new branches. I feel I was initiated to be tapped into the Earth's song and I can hear her in new ways now. My new appreciation for the world and it's subtleties have put me more in tune with myself. I have fallen in love with nature all over again.”

Orkney is an archipelago of islands just north of the Scottish mainland (just a 1 hour flight from Edinburgh Scotland), or a short beautiful ferry ride from Scrabsters - Scotland’s northern tip. 

Orkney offers fantastic wildlife, rugged cliffs, and charming towns. On some nights you can even see the magical aurora borealis. There's no other place in the British Isles quite like it. Orkney is spellbinding, invigorating, relaxing and welcoming - it's all these things and so much more. 


THOUGH REMOTE IN MANY WAYS: ORKNEY IS EASY TO GET TOO

While the location is still off of most tourist maps - it is easy to get to- just a 
one hour commuter flight from Edinburgh, Scotland.

Start your adventure in Edinburgh, often called the Paris of the North and one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Visit Edinburgh Castle and walk the Royal Mile.
 

"Whether you are a new quester or have been on a spiritual path for a while the itinerary was just right for all of us.


I came with a specific purpose. I wanted to fill in the blanks on some spiritual healing work I was doing and anything else was a bonus. I did receive a lot of information for the healing work I do and amazing information for my own spiritual path.


 Now the amazing thing was that the moment I got to Orkney every ache and pain on my body went away.  I was totally pain-free when I got there.  And I am happy to say I still am.  


I felt energized and connected to all the elements after the week was over.  I wish I had big hills like the cliffs near me. I would love to do that a few times a week. 
 
I really enjoyed meeting all the people and thought we all did well together.
 
I will never forget the little bee that loved the vibration from the Tibetan bowl, and how I HEARD energy at the labyrinth, saw Auras at the Stones of Stenness, moonlight at the Ring of Brodgar, finding a rare and beautiful beaked whale and watching as others open their hearts to a new way of flying.
 
Thank you for assisting us on our path.
 
I hope to do more journeys with you in the future.

A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE MACGREGORS

The Picts: Indigenous People of Scotland


"All men admit the clan Gregor to be the purest branch of the ancient race of Scotland now in existence. - true descendants, in short, of the native stock of the country, and unmixed by blood with immigrants either of their own or of any other race. About this point there is no dispute; and the name of 
clan Alpine, commonly adopted by them for centuries, would almost alone suffice to prove their descent from the Albiones, the first known inhabitants of Scotland. "From the ("Clans of the Highlands of Scotland" by Thomas Smibert, 1850) .

The MacGregor clan descends from the lineage of King Kenneth MacAlpin, the very first King to join the Picts and the Gaels under a united country, formerly called Alba and now known as Scotland.  

Since Kenneth’s mother was Pictish, he came to his kingship via matrilineal succession. (Yes - the Picts were matrilineal and women were treated equally in many ways. They could own property, run a business, divorce a husband, and best of all there were no "bastards" since a child always knows its mother and can inherit from her ).


The MacGregors have a Clan motto: 'S Rioghal Mo Dhream"  which means  "Royal is my Race".

 "I have been deeply impressed by Catriona MacGregor for many years. Her striking kinship with the animal world and her vision

  of the natural world are compelling and apparent when you are  in her presence.  Many people carefully copy native traditions,  hoping for a shamanic experience.

Catriona MacGregor is a shaman.”
