County Wicklow, Ireland 

Reset. Renew. Rise.

Juy 18-23, 2026

Premium All Inclusive Renewal Retreat
Yoga. Pilates. Hiking. SoundBaths. Forest Bathing. 
An immersive Ireland experience designed to help you slow down, reconnect with your body,
and return to yourself...rested, grounded, and renewed.

Are you moving through life on autopilot-busy, capable, and constantly on?


Do you feel disconnected from who you truly are, with little time for your interests or the things that once grounded you?

​

This retreat is an invitation to step away from the noise, slow your pace, and create space to reset, renew, and reconnect with yourself.

​

Set in the Wicklow Mountains, the experience blends mindful movement, time in nature, shared meals, and intentional rest, supporting a gentle reconnection of mind, body, and spirit, and a return to what already lives within you.

​

This isn’t about becoming someone new or transforming.
It’s about pausing, reconnecting, and rising renewed.

​Key Offerings:

  • Premium All-Inclusive Accommodations & airport transfer

  • Daily Pilates & Yoga

  • Guided Nature Experiences

  • Sound Baths & Restorative Practices

  • Cultural Exploration

  • Premium All-Inclusive Accommodations

  • Shared Meals & Nourishing Food

​

​

This retreat is for you if…

  • You’re craving space from the noise...to step back, listen inward, and feel more at home in yourself again.

  • You want to reconnect with your body as a source of wisdom, not something to push, perfect, or override.

  • You’ve spent a lot of time in your head and are ready to return to embodied awareness-breath, movement, sensation, and stillness.

  • You’re seeking a slower rhythm that allows your nervous system to settle and your body to exhale.

  • You value mindful movement, time in nature, and intentional reflection as ways to come back to your true self.

  • You want a retreat that honors choice, agency, and rest, where listening to your body matters more than following a script.

  • You’re open to returning home renewed, embodied, and clear-rooted in your body, steady in yourself, and ready to rise with intention.

  • You believe that nothing about you needs fixing...only reconnection, awareness, and space to be fully present in your own skin.
