You are invited to a very special gathering on the banks of the River Blackwater in County Cork on the 28-31st July.
The intention of this retreat is to create a cocoon of deeply immersive ritual, teachings, healing and womb/ heart activation. The guiding post of this retreat is the medicine of abundance, coming home to our innate feminine wisdoms that know how to create in harmony with the abundance of nature all around us. Ritual is one of the core elements of human life, we have engaged with ritual since the beginning of time, and through our return to ritual we begin to empower ourselves as creators of our reality and weavers of a new paradigm of healing on the earth. This space is a threshold, once you step through the threshold a potent alchemy of transformation begins, we are guided by the butterfly & the moth, symbols of regeneration & light. There is a softness in this space that allows for a deep surrendering into the sisters circle and to create a space for us to be witnessed and to vision together. This retreat is ideal for the woman who is seeking to remember her innate role as priestess, wise woman, seer, witch. The women who believes in Magick and wants to return this essence to her life. Through the guidance of Venus we return to our natural source, we soften, release and heal the imbalanced masculine and welcome in the fullness of our feminine capacity, in union with the wholeness of our self. Éire, is in many ways one of the remaining gateways into the enchanted realm. The mythos of the Faery, the dragon and the old gods still remain very much alive within her landscape, the sacred sites and the hearts of the people. This island is one of the key points of magical resurgence on the earth, her living breathing energy is a gift to behold and to journey in her wilderness, amongst the ancient stone circles, on the banks of her rivers or in the heart of an ancient Oak forest opens us to a very deep reverence for the delicate balance of life. We will gather at the beautiful private luxury accommodation "The Herons Perch" on the banks of the River Blackwater, in East Cork. The Blackwater River flows from its source at the Paps of Danu (Breasts of Danu) in County Kerry and flows to this point where it meets the Celtic sea. The Irish rivers are understood to have been formed by the ancient serpent Goddesses, and the Mother Goddess of the land herself is Danu. This is a very sacred river and much our journeying will be in connection with the sacred waters. Each guest will stay in a private room with double bed.
