We are packing our bags and journeying to the wild coastline of the Causeway Coast, Northern Ireland. Our three day restorative wellness retreat will be held at the luxurious Cloughorr Estate. Boasting stunning ocean views of the North Antrim coastline, cosy wood burning fires and its very own rehabilitative dipping lake.

A rejuvenating three day retreat that revitalizes, relaxes and inspires in equal measure and will breathe clarity and balance back into your life. If you want time to fully reconnect in a wholesome and supportive environment then this retreat is for you.

Activities

Morning Hatha Yoga, Breath Work, Silent Sitting and Active Meditations

We start the mornings as we mean to go on, gentle hatha yoga to awaken the body followed by a breathwork practice and meditation.

Guided Deep Healing Meditation with Professional Harpist

Lie back and just be, as you allow yourself to let go as you follow gentle instruction in this guided meditation practice and feel through the emotive sound of live harp music from our very own professional musician.

Conscious Movement Meditation Workshops

Challenge your idea of relaxation and immerse yourself in music and movement. Guided movement mediation is not only fun but deeply powerful and emotive in reconnecting with the self and finding clarity.

Guided Mindful Discovery walk

Rugged cliff top walking; come experience the natural elements of the Causeway Coast and allow them to awaken your senses, literally, embracing the wind, rain and sun, whatever nature has to offer us, use it to your benefit. We walk 4 miles along breath-taking cliff top views. Spotting Scottish islands, remote bays and the awe-inspiring Giants causeway.

Holistic Massage

Have the option of adding a holistic massage to your programme with one of our experienced in-house practitioners. A deeply restorative addition to the retreats itinerary.

Ocean Dip and Empowerment Circle (Optional)

Harnessing the power of cold water is nothing new; written in ancient text from moons ago, its revitalising, energising qualities still firmly hold true today. Never has it been more effective in engaging both body and mind into the present space, awakening the senses and releasing the mind of tension and unnecessary thinking, and trust us when we say it feels incredible.

Challenge yourself and feel free to join in on a cold water dipping therapy, allowing yourself to find freedom and community in something as simple as a cold dip.

Meditation

Sustainability

Meditation isn’t all about sitting still, oh no - in fact quite the opposite depending on your style. Meditation through movement and sound to attain thoughtlessness and connectivity are sometimes more effective depending of the person at the particular moment. In a playful non-serious way, become an inquisitive child and allow yourself to be free of judgement and tension as we move the body to free the mind.

Whether you are a first timer with an open mind or a meditation pro, our retreats are always unlocking new layers of the self; as any meditator would know: no two meditations are ever the same.

Sustainability

Everything used is reusable, recyclable and we also abide by the leave no trace policy when off on our adventures. So our home can remain just as wild as it was found.

Community

Sustainability

Community

Everything is better when shared, meet likeminded soul seekers and connect through experience. Simple.
