Returning to Yourself
A weekend to slow down and reconnect
24th to 26th October, 2026
The Deerstone, Wicklow, Ireland
Welcome to a weekend of rest, reflection and reconnection
The weekend before Samhain, the ancient Celtic festival marking the end of the harvest and the beginning of winter, has long been a time of reflection, gratitude and transition. As the Celtic Wheel of the Year turns, we’re invited to honour what has been, release what no longer serves us and gently prepare for the quieter months ahead.
In today’s busy world, we rarely allow ourselves that pause.
This Autumn, I’m coming home to Ireland to host my second retreat in this beautiful space. There feels like no better time than the weekend before Samhain to gather together on home soil, embracing the slower rhythm of the season and creating space for women to simply be.
It is a privilege to return and hold space in a place that means so much to me, and I’d love to welcome you for a truly nourishing weekend.
What to expect
Throughout the weekend we’ll enjoy:
- Mindful movement practices – Yoga & Pilates
- Space to slow down, reflect and be
- Time to relax in Deerstone’s beautiful saunas
- Woodland walks and time in nature
- Nourishing seasonal meals
- Plenty of free time to simply rest, connect or enjoy the peaceful surroundings
This retreat isn’t about doing more, it’s about slowing down enough to hear yourself again.
