KILLARY FJORD SAUNA - An hour of pure relaxation. The sauna fits 6 people at any one time, however, most people only usually stay inside for about 45-60 minutes. What is recommended is being in the sauna for 15-minute intervals before jumping into the Fjord, repeating this 3 times. 

A non-refundable fee of €25 per person is due for an hour. The following times are available for use of the sauna: 

Saturday: 10-11am or 11-12am 
Sunday: 10-11am or 11-12am 

Please Note: This is a group activity requiring a minimum/maximum of 6 participants at a time. If the minimum number is not met, unfortunately, the activity cannot be offered. We will endeavour to facilitate another session if the session you booked is full. 

To book: Details will be sent directly to those who express an interest via Google form here>

Aisling Browne is holding a limited number of private 1:1 sessions. 

She is offering 1-hour Arvigo Therapy (Maya Abdominal Massage) sessions. These usually cost €100 per hour but Aisling has kindly reduced this to 80 euro for retreat participants.

She is also offering some 30-minute Arvigo Spiritual Healing sessions for €50. These are more energetic with the womb space and involve a 'spiritual bath' ritual from the Maya lineage but with Irish medicinal plants and water to clear any spiritual sickness/ stagnant energy in the womb space. A gentle yet profound experience.

You can book them directly with Aisling. These are offered on a first-come-first-served basis. Details to follow at a later date.

Sarah Tobin will be introducing the Healy to anyone who is interested after her drop-in Tapping session on Saturday. She will explain what it is and how it works and run energy scans for some of the attendees. All are welcome to join.

Starting Friday 29th September from 17:00, closing circle Sunday evening, reflection time until departure Monday at 09:30. 

The closing circle will take place on Sunday evening, with reflection time to follow, if you choose. We encourage all to stay until Monday morning however if you are not staying Sunday night please let us know on our Google form here so we can plan dinner accordingly.

A lot of our guests travel solo, so you will certainly be in good company. 

Here are some brief details on its resurgence as a medicine, its benefits and how to make a basic elixir.

Cacao was used in Ritual and Ceremony by our Mesoamerican ancestors and was considered sacred. It is interesting that the ritual and ceremonial use had been lost.
Cacao had been practically diluted beyond recognition into Chocolate confections with added fats and sugars which can detract from the magic.

There is a difference in vibration when you eat a dairy-filled Chocolate bar compared to a minimally processed dark Chocolate.

Drinking Cacao in it's purest form allows a deeper connection to ourselves, our own intuition, knowing and inner guidance.

The joy of Cacao has recently been rediscovered in the western World, with people consuming it in a pure form and receiving support and messages from the Cacao spirit.

Cacao is regaining its reputation as a powerful yet gentle earth medicine.

Benefits:

•  Gentle but powerful
•  Won’t push you through a door rather gently leads you there if you are willing
•  Can sit with her and feel the support even when not drinking her
•  Helps you understand yourself
•  Can aid clearing emotional blocks
•  Enables the letting go of past relationships
•  Connects you with your creativity
•  Enhances focus and mental agility
•  May find you no longer crave crappy chocolate
•  Cacao can be enjoyed as an alternative to coffee or tea
