WE ARE 1 🎉
This month we are celebrating our first proper birthday at Lochar Mill Riverside Retreat & Wellness, and honestly… we are just so proud of what we have created.
What started as a dream has slowly become a truly special space for connection, wellbeing, nature, rest, laughter, healing and gathering together. Over the past year we have poured our hearts into every corner of Lochar Mill and for the first time we feel genuinely happy with everything it has become. After having to close just two months after opening after a storm destroyed our sauna it took us months to be able to reopen!
There have been long days, challenges, learning curves and moments of wondering if we could really pull it all together — but seeing people relax here, reconnect with themselves, celebrate with loved ones and create beautiful memories has made every second worth it.
A huge thank you to everyone who has supported us along the way — our family, friends, collaborators, local businesses, guests, therapists, workshop hosts Breathe and Bloom , Face & Float and many more (more thank yous to come!) and everyone who believed in the vision from the beginning. We truly could not have done it without you.
We have also been incredibly lucky to connect with so many like-minded people along the way — talented therapists, facilitators, creatives and wellness professionals who now bring their own unique skills, energy and experiences to Lochar Mill through events, workshops and collaborations. Watching the space evolve through these partnerships has been really special. ✨
Thank you to Icon Imagery for the videography, drone footage and stills, Sangha Yoga Strathaven , Strathaven Meditation and Qigong, Outlet, and Kate McDougall Therapy for their participation in the video and for Clarity Consultants Ltd and Glasglow Girls Club for unwavering support and encouragement.
As we move into our second year, we are so excited for what’s ahead. Lochar Mill is available for:
• Private dining experiences inc alternative stag or hen do's
• Wellness events & workshops
• Retreats
• Corporate wellbeing days
• Creative gatherings & celebrations
• Private hire
We already have a packed calendar of events for the summer and beyond so stay tuned. Thank you for being part of our journey so far. Here’s to year two at Lochar Mill. 🌿
