A five day intensive retreat, filled with Shamanic practices to break through limiting believes and old patterns. As many use it as an ending point of one section of their lives, and the beginning of a new part, it can truly be called a ‘rite of passage’. I will definitely hold it like that, and hold you through the process and show you the way. The days build upon each other, to such an extent that the whole week can be called a ceremony or working by itself. It certainly feels that way.

In the best parts of Ireland; the South Western peninsula’s, jutting out into the Atlantic Ocean. The part that still looks like what we imagine ancient Celtic lands to look like. Hoary mountains, forgotten valleys, sleepy forests and craggy bogland, filled with tiny towns and abandoned sacred sites. It is as far away from the capital as you can get. It is the edge of the world, and perhaps Europe’s best kept secret. A place to step out of time and space, and step into myth, imagination and transformation. A place that is ripe with potential and where deep, lasting change can come effortlessly.

During the Spring, Summer and early Autumn months. Some people come specially to Ireland for their week’s retreat. Others make it part of a longer stay on the island, or as part of a longer stay in Europe. Spring, Summer and early Autumn are the best parts to visit weather wise, but there are limited options during Winter time too. These are on special request only – as the weather is far more rough and we like to go with the waves of nature, where these times are a period of downtime for us as well. If you want to come outside of the period MAR-OCT, note that availability is very limited.

We’ve been taking people into the forgotten places out West for years now. At first we just wanted to share our passion for ancient sites that are still alive. But we quickly found that everyone of these people knew within their bones that they needed to visit Ireland. It wasn’t a ‘on the bucket list thing’. It was a need​. A deep knowing. Or even, a calling. To get something from a visit to Ireland, and to give something to it, in return. What we eventually recognized is that Ireland was calling its people home. And it was doing so, to facilitate change. Over those many years, that mission has evolved to a beautiful synergy where you can act as a proxy for the land. As you clear your blockages, by proxy you can clear it for the land. As Ireland has such a huge role to play as a vocal point in where our planet is going spiritually (something you can definitely feel when you are in the mountains here), we take this work very seriously. Another reason to make sure we are a good fit for one another!

You will be picked up on day 0, from either Killarney city center, or Cork Airport. From there I will transport you to Kenmare, where your hotel is, and which will be our head quarters for our time together. This ‘pre-day’, will be spent getting you in touch with the land, introducing you to Irish nature, getting you settled and already seeing some nice sites and sights. If the time allows we will already do a small opening ceremony.

From day 1 to 5 the mornings are spent in deep transformational trancework in our own forest, nestled in a sleepy valley in the Beara mountains. There, we lay the ground work for the ceremonies that we do in the afternoons, which will be at the sacred sites on the Iveragh, Beara, Sheep’s Head or Mizen Head peninsulas (depending on the weather). In our forest, you can wander the land, take a dip in our mountain river, or ground with pulling some potatoes out of the ground. All under the trusted gaze of our oriental cats. In the afternoon, on our way to the sacred sites, we’ll make stops along the way to see both tourist highlights and​​ little known gems. Lunch is provided for, and we’ll be back in Kenmare so that you have enough time to have dinner in one of the small restaurants. The days will be very full, with ceremony, trancework and hiking. But it will be a time to never forget.

Rural Ireland is not the best place for vegans, or people with special dietary requirements like non-dairy or gluten free. Especially for tourists, it can be difficult to find the right foods, which means they often just survive on snacks for days on end. We make sure to pack healthy, nourishing lunches that cater to your special requirements, so that you have enough energy to do the deep transformational work and​ the hiking to get to the sacred sites. In the evening we’ll show you where to find restaurants that can make you good food, or help you with super market runs. Options are very limited here in the back-waters, but we help with making sure you do not have to worry about that aspect of the journey.

Yes, you are not part of a small group where only parts are individual but advertised as if it is ‘one on one’. It is truly just you and me.

Because of the techniques that I use for your transformation, and the importance of the work (see section ‘why‘ above), I’ve found that doing more than 1 person per week, even if it is just a small group, just doesn’t work.

I commit to showing you all the places, guiding you in transformation, anchoring you during your trance sessions. You show up and do the internal work. As these are 5 really intense days (6 if you count day 0 where I come to pick you up and I already take you onto the lands), the connection we form is inevitably going to be deep. As such, we need to make sure that we are a good match for each other, before we fully commit. That is what the exploratory call is about. To see if we are a good fit, and to see if what we can offer, is what you are looking for.
