OUR ETHOS
-
VAST INTEGRITY
Now more than ever, we need to dig deep and stretch ourselves to bring vast integrity into our own lives so the effects will ripple into our communities and pervade the world. Vast integrity is about doing the right thing, standing up for what we truly believe in, no matter what hurdles appear.
-
HARMONY WITH MOTHER EARTH
We know in our hearts that a strong connection with Mother Earth helps ground us and deepen our intuition. We want to bring purity and harmony back to Mother Earth. As we honour Mother Earth, we build respect for each other.
-
WILD CREATIVITY
When we find clarity and confidence, our wild creative juices flow. We feel we can express ourselves freely. We can find new solutions and adapt wise, traditional ways to create real change. We can bring new, visionary creative works to the world to inspire others.

We have been very touched by grandmothers, mothers, aunts, daughters, granddaughters, aunts, female friends, female couples as well as sons, grandsons, husbands, boyfriends, brothers, and fathers on our Daring Women of Edinburgh tours. All have come to honour their mothers, grandmothers or other women in their life and the daring women in Edinburgh’s history. We have seen tears, laughter, gratitude, surprise, introspection and curiosity.
Compassion and Kindness
We encourage tour and retreat participants to be considerate of each other and others around you, to be adaptable and to be conscious you are coming to be part of a group - give space to listen to each other and others we meet.
We ask participants in all tours and events to adhere to our values and ethos. Our values are dignity, trust and honesty. Our ethos is upholding and encouraging vast integrity, right relationship with Mother Earth, and wild creativity.
gratitude to participants
“Annabel’s tour was a really lovely and eye-opening look into lots of women's stories that need to be told. The chance to reflect on your own life was interesting as well, would highly recommend for anyone interested in uncovering some lesser known but very heroic characters from Edinburgh's past!”
