Come experience the magic and mystery of Connemara and be part of an intimate group of like minded women. Nourish your heart and soul, explore your dreamtime, connect with your ancestors. We will work with spiritual technologies such as the inner journey, and ancestral connections, including our dreams and desires for our descendants.
This is the mysterious and radiant dark half of the year. It is a time of immersing into our own stories, deepening into our dreams, and entering the unknown. A time of experiencing our natural magic and moving with the unfolding mystery. We will work with our own radiant dark – our feminine wisdom – discovering a luminous world that is held within. Mysteries will reveal themselves during our time together as we experience ancient rituals and ceremonies for the heart and soul.
A pilgrimage is a journey of the soul as well as the body and mind and leaves one changed forever. It is the opportunity to discover or rediscover aspects of ourselves that have not been accessible, or that have wandered away from our everyday lives. This pilgrimage will take you from the “outside” to the “inside”. I will help you awaken the courage within and provide practical wisdom to help you navigate life with strength and beauty.
As pilgrims we will harmonise our inner landscape with our direct experience of the magnificent landscape of Connemara - a place of untamed character, unpredictable weather and dramatic light. Going into the west in Ireland is associated with going to the Otherworld. It is the direction of the ancestors, wisdom and stories. Along its rugged coastline and woven through its enigmatic ancient holy sites, the past can still be felt in the wind and rain.
Whether you are on a healing journey, creating a new way of being, seeking a new vision or forging a bridge to your ancestral guidance, we will open the way into this time as we prepare for the doorway of Samhain ( the dark half of the year ).
Join me for this soulful immersion in shamanism and wild wisdom, drawing from my Gaelic roots and the deep wisdom of the work I have evolved over the last four decades.
Immerse in Earth wisdom, sacred ceremonies, and meditative practices designed to elevate your spirit and bring healing, inspiration and clarity of awareness.
Steady your heart, mind and soul as you welcome a new dream into being.
We begin at 5pm on 27 September and finish at 10am on 2 October.
Extend Your Stay for Deeper Integration
There is also the option to extend your stay!
Extend your stay from 2 - 4 October for a deeper immersion, dreaming and integration process. This will also include a personal session with me. Limited to 4 people.
The opportunity to extend your stay for 2 full days will create a strong foundation and framework for your overall experience, and also deepen your integration process. It will anchor the energetic transformation in your heart and mind ensuring that your integration process continues when you return home. Take time just for you to sink into your dreams and desires, engage in some deep healing, inspiration and reflection, attune to the environment, walk along the edge of the Atlantic Ocean and continue to unwind from your everyday life.
