Remedy
Women’s Wellness Retreat
Rest your mind : Recharge your body : Restore your soul
As the light returns and the days slowly begin to lengthen, this is the opportune time to revitalise mind and body, rekindle intuition, embody the power of intention and welcome the gifts in store for the year ahead.
To Remedy is to set right. This transformative immersion will allow you to take an intentional pause, to unplug from your devices and reconnect from the inside out so that you can fully inhabit your body and your life with intention, clarity and self trust.
In the Celtic Calendar we arrive at the festival of Imbolc at the start of February. It is a potent time to put into action the visions we have been dreaming up over the Winter months. On this Women’s Yoga Retreat you will experience a weekend of nourishing yoga, breathwork, guided visualisation, intention setting practices, ritual, incredible scenery, nutritious food, brilliant company and be nurtured back home to yourself.
Discover the best of Donegal's exquisite coast line with an unforgettable retreat with Emma Rose Lowe + Carla McGreevy.
Friday 11th - 13th February 2022
Escape the winter blues and immerse yourself in the west coast of Ireland’s awe-inspiring scenery. Find peace and presence through yoga, breathwork and the magic of women gathering with this restoring coastal experience.
No prior experience is required. All you need is a willingness to make time for yourself to recharge and restore.
Picture this:
Fresh sheets in a bed you didn’t have to make.
Waking up well rested, with no hangover and having the luxury to lingering a little longer. You can choose to watch the sunrise over the Wild Atlantic or take a Winter’s cure with a wild sea swimming experience.
Join in with a variety of yoga and self care practices with leading experts or take alone time by the fire or in the hot tub. Venture into the wilds and immerse yourself in the peaceful sound of nature and silence without the tug of life’s usual demand, connect to other kindred spirits over cosy fireside chats or let your body be pampered by our retreat team massage therapist.
There will be space and quiet for you to cherish that first sip of coffee in the morning and revitalising seasonal food served to you and you can walk away from the dishes without any guilt.
We encourage you to drop out of the head and into the heart this weekend and come back home to you.
The Remedy Retreat Ireland includes;
2 nights accommodation in a stunning, spacious retreat centre in County Donegal that boasts an outdoor firepit, hot tub and sea views
Revitalising food: You will be nurtured with meals that are rich in nutrition and taste, catered by Killinchy Holistic Health. All meals will be wholesomely made from fresh, sustainable, local produce to fuel your body with what it needs to feel good from the inside. This will include a welcome reception with tee total drinks and nibbles. Saturday and Sunday sit down brunch, Saturday sit down evening meal and snacks and drinks available throughout the day.
Restorative Yoga Therapy for Women: A gentle yoga therapy practice that invites you to slow down. Nurture the mind and body, resolve pain, reduce stress and anxiety and can tap into spiritual insights. Yoga Therapy promotes the flow of blood and energy into the specific endocrine glands and organs that play a key role in Women’s hormonal balance, whilst also reconnecting us to the more feminine aspects of our 'being' nature, inherent in embodying, feeling, sensing and intuiting on the mat. The ultimate decompress and rest.
Yoga Nidra: Emma has specialised for many years in the art of Yogic Sleep having first accessed the practice 18 years ago. Yoga Nidra is a guided, meditation and conscious relaxation practice that is intended to induce total physical, mental and emotional relaxation and restoration. It is said to be like mindfulness on steroids with one practice being the equivalent restoration as three hours of good sleep.
Morning yoga and wild water dips: Sunrise connects us to hope, and reminds us how beautiful beginnings can be. Sunrise and sunset are sacred times of the day for you to connect to yourself. Our yoga practice will be designed to release stored emotions, tension and stagnant energy. Followed up by all the incredible benefits of wild sea swimming.
Breathwork: Every inhale nourishes every cell in the body and exhale releases waste. We now know it does this on a psychological plane as well as a physiology one. Breathwork is profoundly healing for body and mind. The breath knows exactly what to do to bring us into balance for optimum health. In our breathwork we will practice Connected Mandala breath. This is relaxed breathwork where we give space and surrender to the intelligence of the body to release what it needs to.
Intention Setting Workshop: In this practice you will access your deepest heart felt desires, nurture your creativity, learn how to effectively set intentions and how to manifest them into your life. You will also create a vision board to take away with you and keep your dreams in your awareness.
Cacao ceremony: A centuries-old ritual and the ultimate heart-opener. In addition to being a superfood packed full of vitamins and minerals, cacao supports the cardiovascular system and is a natural antioxidant and antidepressant. This is a beautiful practice to drop out of the head and into the heart.
Women’s circle: Experience the art of sharing and receiving within a small group of women from a heart centred, non judgemental space to make deep and lasting friendships.

Anna Lyttle, retreat assistant
Hi my name is Anna, I have been practicing yoga since I was 16, initially to get me a little closer to my dream of being a professional circus performer…. That didn’t happen. Along the way it became one of the most consistent aspects of my life. Connecting with people, our community, everywhere we go, is the essence of life for me. Isn’t that what we as humans are supposed to do? Yoga is about connecting to something much greater than ourselves- community, our higher self, our spirituality, nature, the world.
I have found so much peace in the rhythm of collective movement and the rhythm of my body. It will be a privilege to assist you and learn alongside you at this weekend. To be at your service is yoga.
