Who is this retreat for?
This retreat is for like hearted folks to connect. Hearts that beat to the rhythm of social change, social justice, embodiment and who care about their communities and planet. We’ll be offering trauma-informed practices, tools to look after ourselves so we don’t burnout. Taking place on the cusp of Spring Equinox, we’ll be harnessing the ancestral wisdom of this time and the support of the magical land of Sligo.
Spring Equinox on the Celtic calendar is a time when day and night of equal length. It invites us to hold the tensions of the nurturing, inward, slowness of the winter and fuinneamh ~ life force that wants to rise from the earth and ourselves as the sun starts to gain strength and the days lengthen. It sheds light on what’s out of balance, what needs tending to so we can create something new? A new project, visions of a new way of being in community, seeds - both of intention and ones we plant in the earth. We’ll work with our ancestral wisdom of the Celtic Wheel over the weekend and weave its knowing into our lives.
