This retreat is designed as a sacred, supportive space for women and gender-expansive people who feel aligned with feminine-centered community.

Trans women are women, and are wholeheartedly welcome here.

Non-binary people who feel nourished by this kind of container are also warmly invited.

This retreat is not open to men.

My intention is to create a space that feels emotionally safe, grounded, and affirming — a place where participants can soften, be real, and explore depth, connection, and spiritual reflection without needing to explain or defend who they are.

If you’re unsure whether this retreat is the right fit for you, you’re always welcome to reach out — I’m happy to connect and answer questions.

I want to be very clear about the values I hold and the kind of space I intentionally create.

I am not neutral when it comes to human rights, bodily autonomy, racial justice, LGBTQ+ safety, or the dignity of marginalized people.

This retreat — and all of my work — is rooted in the belief that everyone deserves to feel safe, respected, and protected, especially those who are most impacted by the political and cultural realities of our time.

If you are part of a marginalized community — including LGBTQ+ folks, trans and non-binary people, people of color, immigrants, or anyone whose safety or rights feel precarious right now — you will be safe here.

I do not believe spirituality exists in a vacuum. The work of slowing down, reconnecting to the land, and tending the soul also requires care for one another and an awareness of the world we’re living in.

This retreat is not a space for harmful rhetoric, dismissal of lived experience, or “both sides” conversations about people’s right to exist.

I share this not to create division, but to create clarity.

If these values resonate with you, you’ll likely feel deeply at home here. If they don’t, this retreat may not be the right fit — and that’s okay.

Absolutely.

This retreat is designed with solo travelers in mind, and most women will be coming on their own.

You’ll be welcomed into a small, warm group of like-minded women, with plenty of opportunities for connection — and just as much permission to take time for yourself. Traveling solo doesn’t mean being alone here.

Yes — and you’re not alone in that feeling.

Once you’re registered, you’ll receive support and guidance to help you prepare, including packing suggestions, travel tips, and what to expect once you arrive. I’m also happy to connect one-on-one if you have questions or need reassurance around international travel.

You’ll be well supported, and you won’t be navigating this on your own.

Yes — travel insurance is required for this trip. This helps protect your investment and provides peace of mind.

This retreat includes a good amount of walking, as exploring Ireland on foot is a meaningful part of the experience.

You should feel comfortable:

• Walking several miles a day
• Navigating uneven ground, hills, and outdoor paths

That said, this is not an extreme or athletic retreat. The pace is unhurried, and you’re encouraged to listen to your body and opt out of activities when needed.

If you have mobility concerns that make walking difficult, this retreat may not be the right fit.

Late October / early November in Ireland is typically cool, misty, and atmospheric — very much part of the magic of the season.

You can expect:

• Cool temperatures
• Occasional rain or mist
• Changing conditions throughout the day

You’ll receive a detailed packing list to help you prepare so you can be comfortable and enjoy being outdoors, rain or shine.

You don’t need to drink alcohol to enjoy this retreat.

Pubs in Ireland are community gathering places — cozy, warm, and often centered around music and conversation rather than drinking. You’re welcome to enjoy non-alcoholic options, come for the music and atmosphere, or skip pub outings entirely if you prefer.

That said, pub culture is part of the Irish experience, and we will spend time in pubs throughout the week. If that environment feels uncomfortable for you, this may not be the right fit.

You’re very welcome here.

The spiritual elements of this retreat are grounded, earth-based, and approachable, centered on seasonal rhythm, reflection, and simple ritual. There’s no dogma, no preaching, and no requirement to believe or practice anything specific.

This retreat is about connection — to the land, the season, and yourself — not about adopting a particular spiritual identity.

This retreat is intentionally spacious.

Most rooms are private, and the house offers multiple quiet areas where you can rest, journal, or simply be. Most activities are optional (with the exception of the core Samhain ritual + dinner), and you’re encouraged to follow your own rhythm throughout the week.

There’s no pressure to socialize constantly — presence and participation are always by choice.

No.

Participation is always optional, except for the core Samhain ritual + dinner, which is a central part of the retreat. Everything else is an invitation, not an obligation.

You’re encouraged to engage in the ways that feel meaningful and supportive for you.

Travel is always an adventure — especially in a place as alive and changeable as Ireland.

Weather, timing, or circumstances may require occasional adjustments. When that happens, we’ll adapt with care and intention, keeping the spirit and depth of the experience intact.

Flexibility and openness are part of what make this retreat rich and memorable.
