Creative and Active Courses

We run various residential courses on Tanera including; art, creative writing, poetry, tapestry, kayaking and yoga. These courses – ranging in length from long weekends to two weeks – are taught by talented tutors from all over Scotland. We provide comfortable accommodation in our holiday cottages and three delicious and hearty meals a day.

The courses offer an excellent opportunity to immerse oneself in Tanera’s peace and tranquillity, gain expert and friendly tuition in your chosen craft, whilst mixing with like minded people and being looked after by the Tanera team.
