We are the only wellness retreat in Ireland to offer this flexibility of booking.

The rest of the year (10th Jan to mid May & also from start of Oct to 5th December) we run weekend-only wellness retreats.

Walking through this ancient, UNESCO-recognized ecosystem is the perfect balance to time spent in our yoga and meditation classes. Spending time in Nature is like ‘food for the soul’, and without any effort at all, brings relaxation, enjoyment and contentment. It also gives you space to assimilate the changes brought about in the classes.
Our spectacular landscape helps melt away tension, making it an essential element of your mental health wellness weekend.
Alongside nature, delicious nutrition is one of the core pillars of what we offer.
We are famous for our vegetarian food as much as the quality of our teachers.
Our meals are vibrant, satisfying, and designed to detoxify and fuel your body.
