At The Threshold: A Yoga & Contemplative Retreat On The West Coast Of Ireland

April 23-29, 2027 | Burren Yoga Retreat, County Galway

JOIN US ON RETREAT

During our week together we will be based out of this gorgeous retreat venue in the Burren- an ancient and mystical place, with abundant biodiversity and a tranquil feel.

The center itself is aligned with sacred geometry- inviting harmony, balance and inner peace. There is a glass-walled yoga studio with stunning views, incredible vegetarian meals, and a brand new hydro-circuit (sauna, hot tubs, cold plunge) slated to be open before we arrive. The bedrooms are simple and luxurious and we feel so lucky to have this as our home base for the week.

We will start each day with a spiritual practice, then head out to explore the landscape and local villages, restaurants and galleries. We will wind down each evening with dinner & free time at the retreat center.

Sample Retreat Day Schedule >>

8 am: Awaken slowly in the Burren, grab tea & enjoy a sacred start to the day

8:30 am: Yoga + Meditation, journal prompts, optional sharing. You will have the option to take a yoga class each day (classes shared by Anjali & Jen)

10 am: Breakfast on site

11:15: Head off on a walk, hike or adventure together as a group

2 pm: Lunch out at a local cafe, or on our adventure

4 pm: Return to home base for a group gathering, hydro-circuit or restorative yoga (depending on day) and free time before dinner to integrate, rest and relax

7 pm: Dinner at our retreat center followed by free time to unwind

Each day of our journey together will provide a different experience and energy which we will outline for participants in detail as the retreat gets closer.

Enjoy a mix of spiritual practice and introspection, group time enjoying outdoor adventures, delicious food + learning, spirituality and inspiration. We will also have a whole day onsite to rest, integrate, receive nourishing massages (optional) and bask in the on-site hydro spa. Everything that we offer is optional.

Please Note: Everything is subject to change depending on weather conditions and group needs. Please also note that the hydro circuit is slated to be complete by our retreat in April, however we cannot guarantee this.

This retreat is limited to around 13 participants + 2 guides (us) however if there is strong interest, we may open up a few more spots, while being careful to preserve the intimacy of the group.

Join us in the sacred landscape of Ireland for a retreat exploring the thresholds and crossings of our lives—the moments that invite us to release what has been, open to what is becoming, and courageously step into new territory.

Travel with us to Ireland in the spring of 2027 for an unforgettable retreat experience. Root into the ancient landscape & natural beauty, awaken each day to soothing yoga or meditation and open your senses to the timeless wisdom of Celtic Mythology. Hike in the rocky Burren hills, swim in the wild sea and unplug from daily life. Join with like-minded travelers as we cross over into a new territory of wonder, presence, self-compassion & curiosity.

This retreat is for you if:

  • You love adventuring to new places & meeting new people when there is intention, depth and meaning infused into the experience

  • You are craving a retreat for you, away from the noise & hustle of everyday life~ to go slow, practice self-care and develop trust in your inner knowing

  • You feel disoriented or in uncharted waters and would like to find grounding, spaciousness and even JOY in the midst of life’s losses, chaos & uncertainty

  • You enjoy learning about the cycles and seasons and how they might inform our own wild and precious lives

  • You are standing at- or have just crossed- a significant threshold and are wondering- What now? What is happening? What is next for me?

  • You want to honor a life change, new beginning or passage & carve out time to listen inwardly and see what is quietly wanting to emerge

Imagine This …

Awakening each morning to greet the dawn with a reverent, open heart and a sense of wonder as to what the day will bring. Enjoy a morning yoga class or guided meditation and then take a moment for quiet contemplation with your journal. Savor a delicious hearty breakfast before heading out into the magical landscape.

Mid-day adventures will include:

A hike and visit to a remote hut to share lunch and tea with a local hermit who loves to share his stories and knowledge

Hiking in the Burren’s scenic and rocky hills

A walk along the sea and optional dip in the Atlantic

An afternoon visiting local galleries, shops and a delicious lunch out at a local favorite spot

We will gather back at the retreat center in the evening for a relaxing dinner and time to connect, chat and release our day.
