Excerpt from poem Courage by John O Donohue Irish Poet, Mystic and Philosopher
Close your eyes.
Gather all the kindling
About your heart
To create one spark
That is all you need
To nourish the flame
That will cleanse the dark
Of its weight of fear.
A new confidence will come alive
To urge you towards higher ground
Where your imagination
will learn to engage difficulty
As its most rewarding threshold
Ireland also known as Éiru or Eirú, called after an Ancient Goddess is a place where the multi-sensory and spiritual dimensions are still to be found in the form of standing stones, dolmens, cairns ,ancient , and sacred circles and wells. It is a land where language, song, and story speak of another world in and through this physical reality. It had been a place of pilgrimage for thousands of years. This residential retreat harnesses the sacredness of this land, to take the time to be with your life in a space of reflection and enquiry.

In these times, where all that is certain is in change, people feel these uncertainties in the form of anxiety, overwhelm, and lack of confidence. When worked with consciously, these times can be a pivotal time to stop, to take the space to journey within and access your own essential self, find inner courage, wisdom, and resilience, and get renewed clarity and insight for life. This powerful pilgrimage offers waypoints and portals to what lies within you for renewal, remembrance, and regeneration.

Meet Your Facilitator
“It seemed in the blink of an eye I saw that everything that was outside me was also within me; the fields bordered with tall trees, the wind, the dance between sunlight and shadow, all were reflections of the border lines and power, of the light and dark and depth within me.“
