RETURN TO THE WELL: A CELTIC JOURNEY OF RECOVERY

RETREAT FOR WOMEN

County Wicklow, Ireland

Reclaim wonder. Reconnect with your inner well. Remember who you are.

There comes a time when your body, your spirit, your heart - all whisper the same thing: It’s time to return to the well. 

Not because you’re broken. 

Not because you need fixing. 

But because you are ready to reconnect to yourself in a deeper way - on storied land that has held women’s healing for centuries.

This seven night retreat invites women in or seeking recovery to reflect, connect, and explore Ireland’s Ancient East in and around Wicklow which is often referred to as the ‘Garden of Ireland.’

Inspired by the Celtic Goddess / Saint Brigid, we’ll gather in sacred places, walk ancient monastic trails, and share rituals that honour our resilience and creativity. Back at our 18thcentury farmhouse retreat venue, we’ll enjoy yoga with Taryn, sharing circles, and - when needed - naps. Over the week, we’ll reconnect with what nourishes us most deeply - our own inner wellspring of strength, wisdom, and grace. 

Why Brigid? Brigid is one of Ireland’s most beloved figures - a goddess of the Tuatha Dé Danann and, later, a saint. She embodies healing, poetry, fire, and the forging of new paths. In this retreat, we’ll invoke her spirit as guide and inspiration for our own journeys of recovery and renewal. 

What Awaits You at Return to the Well:

This is more than a getaway. It’s a return to the truth of who you are - without the noise, expectations, or demands of home. 

Over our time together, you’ll experience:

  • Opening and closing ceremony

  • Trauma informed yoga with Taryn

  • Irish Storytelling and Folklore with Sally

  • Evening sharing circles that foster connection and belonging

  • Time for rest and reflection - quiet walks, journaling, and simply being

  • Bealtaine Ritual

  • Adventure and exploration of Ireland’s Ancient East

Everything we offer is an invitation - not a requirement. Participate in as much or as little as you feel called to. This is your space to honour what you need, moment by moment.

Our Setting:

Wicklow & Ireland’s Ancient East

Wicklow (known as the Garden of Ireland) is a landscape of mountains, forests, lakes, and sea. Our retreat venue is a farm in the green heart of County Wicklow. When we aren’t off adventuring, we will rest and be nourished in an 18th-century farmhouse and a cluster of cozy, charming cottages set around a tranquil courtyard. This sacred space is the perfect ground to soften, listen, and be held by the land as you reconnect with your own inner well.

You’ll be Held by Women Who Walk the Path

These retreats are facilitated with care, integrity, and the belief that every woman is her own best healer - she may just need the right space to remember that truth.

This is your return to the well.

This is where you remember that everything you need has always been within you.


You will draw deeply from your own source - steady, ancient, and endlessly replenishing.


You will rise from this week not searching for something new, but rooted in what was already yours: your wisdom, your resilience, your grace.


And you will carry it home with you, a living reminder that you are whole, that you are enough, and that the well within never runs dry.
