Move Into the Belly of Winter

A Samhain Retreat

Samhain marks the threshold between autumn and winter. A time to turn inward, honour what is ending, and make space for what is quietly waiting to emerge.

Together, we'll move into the belly of winter through movement, breath, writing, fire, sauna, nourishing food, stillness and connection.

This is a time to slow down, listen more deeply and embrace the darker, quieter season as a space for creativity, reassessment and renewal.

What do I want to give my attention to this winter?

Located just 1.5 hours from Dublin and 2.5 from Cork. The Yoga Barn is comprised of five stone houses, lovingly restored by Tim and Hilary Harvey over the last 20 years. Their labor of love is reflected in every detail. The bespoke yoga studio is built overlooking the valley and fields and consists of old trees and a walking laborith. Every nook and cranky is made to so you can curled up with a book, cup of tea or both. The setting is peaceful and it is your home for your stay.

During your weekend you will practice yoga both morning and evening. The fire roaring and candels lite. In the morning sessions you are guided through breathwork, hatha yoga and a combination of yoga modalites to reconnect your awareness to the body and bringing blanace, peace and love. In the evenings we focuss on meditation, yoga nidra, yin and restorative practices for peace and deep sleep.

These weekends are focused on cleaning the system, meals are light in the evening while our days are spent juicing and smoothying with treats added in.

Workshops in the afternoon consist of fermentation , writing, group work in breath and meditation. These are optional and depend on the retreat time of year and theme.

There is a sauna and that runs each day open from 2 to 4 hours daily so that saunas can be take at lesure. Aromatherpay oils are avialble for the sauna and custom oil mixes are avaialbe for purchase but should be preoderd. Essential oils are used extensively throughout the retreat to enhance your stay.

A truly indulgent expereince and one that will leave your feeling much better than you arrived. These retreats are for those who may need time away to contemplate, deep rest or want to add value to their life in the form of time and self care.
