Why go on a Women’s Retreat Day?
Making time for yourself is so very important, especially when living within a (patriarchal) society built on moving further, faster, bigger, grind. It isn’t always possible to hit the brakes as often as we would like, so dedicating an entire day to let go, indulge and surrender is not just special but vital for your health, wellbeing and sense of purpose and connection to your life and the world around you.
This Women’s retreat is an opportunity to spend unforgettable quality time with the brilliant women in your life and meet new ones . Group size is kept small and intimate with a max of 16. This day is open to all who identify as women. Lots of Women come by themselves and we promise you will quickly feel right at home.
Venue:
This Celtic Wheel of the Year Lughnasagh Retreat is held at a beautiful Georgian farmhouse nestled in 2.5 acres of ancient trees and wild meadows, in the rolling hills of Co Down.
Located on a small townland just outside of Belfast called Cargacreevy which translate from old Irish ‘Carraig na craoibhe’ as ‘Rock of the great tree’.
Our classes and workshops will be held in the Hayloft studio with its spacious scandi feel and beautiful pitched ceilings.
In your down time you can take a breath out on the tree lined land, explore the witches kitchen garden and wild meadows or relax in the old coach house used for outdoor dining, workshops and fire pujas. Or snuggle up with a book by the fire in one of the drawing rooms.
Residential accommodation is based on 2-3 persons sharing per room. The cosy, bespoke bedrooms at Mother of the Woods are inspired by different Celtic goddesses. Additionally we provide two indoor lounge areas for relaxation and a communal dining space known as ‘the morning room’.
The full address of our private venue + directions will be sent to you automatically on sign up.
Mother of the Woods is an 8 minute drive from the M1 Junction at Lisburn
& only 10 minutes from Saintfield, Carryduff, Temple and Ballynahich.
20/25 minutes from Belfast City centre.
Please note that your booking is 100% non refundable. If you are unable to attend and your ticket can be resold, you may be eligible for a partial transferral to a later date, minus an administration fee. Please note this is based on good will and availability.
