Peter is a traditional tanner, teacher and craftsman focusing primarily on connecting people to our human and natural heritage through working with animal hides and other ancestral materials, as well as exploring Scottish folklore and how it weaves together the practical and the spiritual.

Him and Bethan run a Traditional Tannery at their Croft in Aberdeenshire, which they are slowly restoring. They also run courses and gatherings which are primarily focused around land-based living and traditional crafts - creating spaces for people to explore what it truly means to return home to the land, and find a rich and nourishing connection to old ways of living and being.

Raised along the western shores of Ireland, Caoimhe was shaped by the wild landscapes, ancient stories, stones, artwork, and the rhythms of the seasons. These influences continue to inspire her offerings, which weave together mindfulness, movement and mythology.

Caoimhe offers yoga classes, guided wildlife, folklore, and mythology walks, as well as nature connection retreats. These gatherings are an invitation to rewild ourselves, the land, and its stories ~ whether through mindful movement, exploring the lore of plants and trees, or gathering around the fire to honour the rhythms of the Gaelic wheel of the year.
