Nature of Man

Imbolc Retreat

A Weekend Gathering for Men

As the wheel of the year turns toward Imbolc, a time of beginnings, we gathering to envision and cultivate the parts of ourselves that we wish to see flourish and grow. We face our resistance to our capacity to live the life we wish. In meeting those places and learning to integrate them with wisdom and compassion we become more our true self and release outmoded ways of being in our lives and in the world

Bealtaine Retreat

May 20 – 22 2026 Donegal

So often it’s that inner fire that goes missing. Our lives become so entrenched in looking after others, living lives of quiet despiration that we lose touch with something deeper within ourselves and life begins to feel dull and heavy. Our retreats offer you a chance to take stock, to meet what it is that needs your attention in order to step forward in your life and reclaim your joy. We are taught to avoid the very thing that can get us free. Join us for a journey that will be profoundly meaningful for your life.

Father & Son

A One Day Rite of Passage Retreat

In every boy’s life, there comes a time when he must step beyond childhood and begin his journey toward manhood. In the book Iron John, Robert Bly speaks of the deep, ancient bond between fathers and sons—the passing down of wisdom, strength, and the untamed spirit of the wild man within.

This retreat set in nature is an opportunity for fathers and sons (ages 12-14) to step away from the noise of everyday life and into an experience of connection, adventure, and initiation.
