Details of this retreat

Description:
Join us for a transformative weekend retreat as we celebrate St Brigid's Day from the 1st - 3rd February 2025. It is a time of renewal, growth, and the reawakening of the earth. Nestled in the serene Irish countryside, this rejuvenating getaway offers a blend of nourishing activities, workshops, and ceremonies designed to foster self-care, connection, and inner balance.



Upon arrival on Friday, you'll be warmly welcomed with soothing hot beverages and calendula tea at The Barn, setting the stage for a weekend of relaxation and introspection. The retreat commences with a heartfelt check-in, followed by an invigorating Opening Yoga Ceremony and a deeply grounding Forest Bathing experience. As evening unfolds, delight in a convivial Drinks Reception and scrumptious dinner, culminating in an intimate Fire Ceremony under the starlit sky.

Saturday dawns with an uplifting Cacao & Yoga Ceremony, awakening your senses and reconnecting you to the earth's gentle rhythms. Savour a nourishing breakfast before partaking in a Nature Connection Workshop, where you'll learn about sustainable skincare practices that honour both yourself and the environment. Take the afternoon to indulge in some well-deserved self-care with a rejuvenating massage or explore the retreat's tranquil facilities. The late afternoon brings a restorative Breathwork & Mindful Movement session, followed by a delectable dinner and a transformative Sensory Experience featuring our native heart healer, Hawthorne Tea.

Our Sunday morning Closing Yoga Ceremony will explore the growth and transformation cultivated throughout the weekend. Nourish your body with fresh-pressed juices and wholesome breakfast snacks, and savor a leisurely lunch before bidding farewell to newfound friends and this sacred sanctuary. As a parting gift, you'll receive a self-guided Forest Bathing practice to carry the magic of the retreat with you as you re-enter the world, refreshed and revitalized.

Join us on this extraordinary St Brigid's Day-inspired retreat and rediscover the power of self-care, connection, and the beauty of our natural landscape.

Wonderful day
Beautiful day despite the weather! Lots of cosy blankets and fires! The yoga was excellent- very accessible and yet challenging. Food was excellent and plentiful. I especially enjoyed Amy’s botanic walk- I love that so much is available at our doorstep! Felt a cold coming on and tried the vitamin c packed pine needle tea!
Many thanks for a powerful joyful day

Short but very lovely
Everything was going so beautifully until storm Darragh put a stop to our weekend !
The 24 hours my daughter and I shared at the Deerstone was wonderful . Casey smiled the entire time , was welcoming , relaxed and gave the best sessions . Resident botanist Amy added an absolutely perfect ingredient to what was a really immersive experience into the local nature at Deerstone .
Accommodation was lovely and our cottage well equipped for self caterers, very clean and warm .
Unfortunately we never got to use the hot tub or any of the other enticing spa facilities dotted around the site .
Hopefully we will be back and for the whole weekend next time !
