Sleeping in luxurious bell tents with the sounds of water and nature lulling us to sleep and awakening us, this retreat is a feast for the senses. From fire ceremonies to standing stone rituals to participating in local activities on the island, it gifts us all the joy life has to offer. Whether you wish to escape the daily grind or simply reset, your system, this place does this and more.

We access the island via ferry on Thursday and arrival is from 4pm. Check out is at 11am on Tuesday.

Accommodation is the beautiful bell tents on the island and there are communal showers and toilets for your use over the days we are together. This is a 5 night retreat to connect with your inner joy and embrace this stunning island on the South coast of the Wild Atlantic Way.

Each day will begin with meditation and dynamic yoga followed by brunch. The afternoons will encompass nature walks, kayaking, sea swimming, lounging on the land with a good book or rest back at your bell tent. On evenings we will come together where there may be yin yoga, a fire ceremony, a ritual at the standing stones or a circle accompanied by a delicious dinner with a fire and the odd toasted marshmallow. Tuesday morning we complete with a sunrise meditation by the water, a morning dip followed by a beautiful breakfast before our time comes to leave.

There is an opportunity for 121 Reiki & Shamanic sessions or Biodynamic Cranio-Sacral sessions with Aoife during the retreat. These must be booked in advance and are available on a first come first served basis.

“The whole experience was magical, between your phenomenal guidance, Tanya's delectable cooking and Catriona's luxurious glamping, all in such a beautiful setting.. Who could ask for anything more?”

“Congratulations on organising and delivering  an amazingly run healing and rebalancing retreat on Bere Island.  I’m so grateful that I booked with you and have reaped the benefits of feeling renewed mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually. You hold space so gently and strongly, I felt safe no matter what came up for me, I felt relaxed as your amazing organisational skills carried and executed a  practical, empowering and great fun time together. Something shifted with your unique blend of teaching yoga,, connection to the land and shamanic ritual, specific to women I felt honoured and grateful to be a woman and also to witness so many wonderful women supporting and encouraging each other. Tanya’s meals were so beautiful to look at and even tasted even better. The  meals were so interesting and exciting and represented food from all over the world. Mealtime was a highlight every day and brought great satisfaction, joy and comfort. I felt really cared for and nourished.”

“Aoife and Tanya have created something really special in this 5 night retreat on Bere island. I would describe the experience as a re-wilding of self and given the unique location and beautiful surrondings of wild atlantic glamping ( thank you Cathriona), I found it to bring about  a much needed connection to the land, self and others, in a time where it's easy to feel disconnected. Aoife's ability to cultivate the conditions for this through her holding, movement and spiritual guidance, made it easy to find this place of reconnection.  Tanya's culinary talent in finding the perfect nourishment to  accompany us in the experience, truly added to the overall enjoyment, anybody would be lucky to sit at her table. 

Not to forget the fun and laughter that was had, it is unique in all the right ways! Cant wait to come back again!”
