Caravanserai offers a unique opportunity for H3Uni Pioneers from various life journeys to converge and explore pathways to regenerative futures.

About the Event
This interactive event for around 20 participants will be hosted at the residential Atholl Centre. The Centre, run by the local Baptist church, is well equipped with conference facilities and accommodation including shared bedrooms. We chose it for its advantages of accessibility, full facilities for meeting together, and its economy, all in a single central location. It lies at the heart of Pitlochry, within walking distance of Pitlochry railway station.
