Details

A soul retreat of warmth, stillness and midwinter nourishment Mount St Anne's, County Laois, Ireland As winter deepens, we pause. In the quiet hush of midwinter, when the days are short and the soul longs to breathe, we gather by the gentle fire of Brigid — Celtic goddess of hearth, healing, and holy inspiration. This two-day retreat is a time for deep rest, soulful creativity, and sacred stillness. A time to be held, to soften, to remember what matters - dreaming the dreams of what we desire, what will support us to be fully alive as the seasons change. A gentle pause to tend to your inner flame.

Testimonials

info

We had a wonderful three days at the 2025 Bealtaine retreat. The location was peaceful and beautiful, the food was delicious, and the pace was slow, yet covered a lot. Dee was warm, kind, and shared her vast knowledge in a simple, down-to-earth way. It was a truly special time for me and my daughter, and we often talk about the experience. We’re looking forward to the opportunity to participate again. Thank you so much, Dee!
