What is to be a woman of the land? It is not a title that we earn, it is who we are at our core…

To be a woman of the land is to let go of ‘doing’ and surrender into ‘being’, to honour Her curves and bends, taste of Her seasonal delights, rest in Her meadows and celebrate Her very existence.

who is this for?

Whether you were born on the island of Éiriú or have come from afar, whether you have laid down your roots here or are passing through, this land welcomes you with open arms, its ancient ones whispering songs of belonging.

This is an invitation to gather with sisters, as women of the land, to RECEIVE the beauty, bounty and wisdom of West Clare, while being safely held in a sanctuary devoted to the Goddess, Danu.

what is the ‘woman of the land’ retreat?

This a sanctuary for you to pause, reflect and receive from the wellspring of wisdom that lies within, to merge with the landscape and hear Her song, bathe in Her waters, sing in Her caves, dance upon Her soil and be held in Her mystery.

With the fullness of life and its unwavering demands, it can feel confronting to stop. Many of us feel challenged to our core to let go of the reigns and embrace spaciousness, to prioritise our own self-care. We can get caught on the belief that ‘I haven’t enough time to take time out’ or ‘There’s too much to do’.

For many of us, our sense of worth is tied up in doingness, in maintaining our role as a ‘good’ mother, partner, daughter, friend, work colleague. But of course, it’s not sustainable to live in a constant state of doing. Rest is essential for the wheels to keep turning. These seemingly opposite energies are interconnected just as night and day, darkness and light, the inhale and exhale.

What if we were to embrace stillness and commune with the land? What if we were to RECLAIM these natural parts of our femininity? What might we hear, if we listen deeply? The stirrings of our soul, the longing of our hearts?

Here, we get to see ourselves, to honour, celebrate and REMEMBER what it is to be a woman of the land, at this time.

HOW WILL WE JOURNEY?

Come as you are. Every shade of you is welcome; your joy, fear, pleasure, pain, wisdom, uncertainty, laughter and tears all have a place here. There is nothing you need to do other than be yourself and RECEIVE.

You will be safely and gently guided through embodiment practices, primal sound and movement, voice and heart activation, tribal dance; lots of opportunities to RECLAIM parts of your natural expression.

Your senses will be delighted with feasting upon sumptuous food, singing round the campfire and in the nearby caves, relaxing in the sauna, enjoying time in nature, experiencing sacred water immersions and connection with other like-hearts; a space to REMEMBER what it is to be a woman of the land.

Everything is optional. You choose how much you’d like to participate.
