Join us for a five-night immersive castle retreat in breathtaking Ireland, curated for people living with chronic stress who have noticed that thinking clearly, prioritizing well, trusting their decisions, and switching off enough to think creatively takes more effort than it used to. This is your space to release survival patterns, reconnect with your nervous system, and rediscover the vision and clarity that have been buried over time.

Through guided experiential practices and facilitated sessions, you will explore how chronic stress has shaped your capacity for presence and connection, and discover how regulation and energetic coherence restore flow and aligned vision. Whether you seek to understand survival patterns, reconnect with your deeper purpose, or access the clarity that makes intentional action natural, this retreat offers the integration of nervous system work and energetic alignment you need.

Days flow between guided sessions integrating mind-body science with vision work and energetic practices, and unstructured time to rest, explore, and let insights unfold. Evenings bring nourishing meals, meaningful conversation, and experiences that invite you to savor both the richness of Ireland and your own transformation.

All within the walls of an enchanting castle, where history and nature holds space for our transformative work together. And beyond those walls lies the emerald Irish countryside.

Return from this retreat energized, clear, and aligned with your vision, ready to move forward with intentional action, creativity, and impact.

We will welcome guests on Sunday, May 10, for a welcome dinner, with the core retreat running from Monday to Thursday, leaving on Friday, May 15, after breakfast.

• Five nights’ accommodation in a 4-star hotel
• Nourishing meals made with fresh local ingredients, from our welcome dinner on Sunday to our farewell breakfast on Friday
• Beautiful surroundings, including the castle grounds and Irish countryside
• Guided mind-body sessions exploring nervous system regulation and how chronic stress patterns shift

• Plenty of free time to relax, journal, read, stroll, or whatever you choose
• All amongst a community of heart-led people who value presence and meaningful connection

Who is this retreat for?

This retreat is for people who recognize that chronic stress has left them exhausted, unable to truly switch off, living on autopilot, and feeling the impact in their energy levels, decision making, creative thinking, motivation, and relationships.

If you are...

• Living with chronic stress or burnout and wanting relief that actually lasts
• Feeling disconnected from your deeper purpose or strategic direction and unsure what needs your time and attention
• Recognizing familiar stress patterns that have become hard to interrupt or change,
• Tired of pushing through and relying on discipline alone to keep things moving
• At a transition point and noticing hesitation or delay around decisions that used to feel straightforward
• Balancing responsibility and impact while knowing you can no longer ignore the cost to your nervous system

...then click that "Apply Now" button and join us!

We recognize that transformation unfolds differently for everyone, so we have designed a retreat that honors both structure and spaciousness. Each day brings guided sessions integrating nervous system work and energetic alignment, along with time for rest, reflection, and independent exploration. The full retreat program is still unfolding, but this gives you an idea of what you can expect.
