The ancient royal Queens of Ireland are calling your name.
Are you seeking a sacred pilgrimage that goes deeper than most retreats ever will?
I’m calling forth 9 women to join a sacred initiation. Women who know they are here to reignite the wisdom, lead with integrity and remember the sovereignty already encoded within them.
There’s a reason that Ireland’s Queens are calling now at this time…
Because, in my deep relationship with Ireland, we (the pure Noble Ones) buried the wisdom within the hills and mountains; the rocks, rivers and stones, within the bogs and crystal caves; within the stories, myths and the indigenous tongue….
Now is the time to retrieve this wisdom that is waiting for you to excavate.
This is a cultural, educational and enlightening retreat AND also a deeply healing, spiritual and transformational pilgrimage where the voices of the Queens of these lands are waiting to commune with you once again.
To call you into the true Queendom.
The ancient Queens of the land of Ériu are here to guide you home to your royal rooted truth.
QUEEN, REMEMBER YOUR REIGN
Retreat to Ireland’s Ancient East next Spring Equinox
21 April - 1 May 2027
with host of her homeland,
Eimear Stassin
An intimate Irish initiation for women ready to reclaim their sovereignty through the sacred landscapes, stories and wisdom traditions of Ireland.
9 women.
11 days
12+ sacred sites.
One ancient land.
One Queen's journey home.
With Ireland as The Initiator.
A Circle of Nine Women
A circle of nine women allows every voice to be heard and ensures that every question is honoured. All our meals are shared and every ceremony is bespoke and held intimately. It’s important that we come together as individuals and as a collective where each woman claims their seat at the table.
I don't want anyone disappearing off into the background or feeling like they are alone or don’t belong. What I love the most is to create pilgrimages rooted in relationships rather than numbers.
“Eimear was such a gracious and lively host of her homeland! ”
Step inside this sacred pilgrimage and we will:
Share Stories: Because Ireland draws out the Seanachaí in you as the ancient storyteller.
Dream Big with the land:
What is your dream? Ireland asks.
Gather around the fire with Soul Family in sacred community. This is a Meitheal.
Remember Who You Are.
Ireland’s Queens have awakened and are ready now to share their magic. A wisdom that went underground with the Tu’Atha and is ready to be resurrected by your presence, frequency and energy once again.
What does it mean to be a Queen?
The Queen is not a woman who sits above others.
She is a woman who knows how to sit fully within herself.
She knows her values.
She trusts her inner authority.
She tends her people without abandoning herself.
She knows when to lead, when to listen and when to rest.
She understands that sovereignty is not power over.
It is power within.
This is what we mean by Queen at the Irish Wisdom School and this Queen is calling you home.
You may be one of the women this pilgrimage is calling when:
You feel Ireland has been calling for years
You resonate with the archetype of QUEEN
You know your leadership is becoming more spiritual
You long for conversations beyond the surface level
You crave beauty, depth, ceremony and soul
You're ready to receive rather than always give give give
You're no longer looking for healing alone but are ready for initiation
You want to strengthen your roots and be activated to serve your Queendom in wholesome, rooted and aligned ways that nourish your energy and ecosystem
Come with me to places that I return to over and over again. Places that I know intimately. Places that call me to return with women like you.
Places where I’ve shed salty Irish tears, because of their power.
Fallen to my knees in prayer, because of their sacredness.
Listened amidst the spaciousness.
Danced with the fairies.
Laughed and giggled whilst singing random lines of songs!
Received a thousand welcomes and beyond!
They have shaped me and who I am as a Dubliner, as a steward, as a voice for the land of Ireland and as a representative of the Queens of these lands.
Now I invite you to walk beside me and join me on this sacred pilgrimage home to your golden truth.
Join me in a small intimate group of 9 women.
For slow mornings, beautiful nourishing food, refreshing scenery and elegant accommodation (single occupancy).
Beautiful conversations, quiet moments and even a full rest day in the most peaceful powerful settings.
To enjoy the luxury of spaciousness to nourish your soul, Irish style.
With personal visits to 12 and more sacred sites, royal hills, holy wells and royal seats of Ireland, with Eimear, who has a deep relationship with these places.
This is Eimear’s Ireland and it’s available to you.
“I really connected with the heart of Ireland, and the land...To have seen all the goddess sites and to really bring that into my own life and gatherings. ”
This retreat is not designed for tourists who want to race through the country or people wanting to tick the sites of Ireland off their bucket list.
It’s for women who feel something ancient awakening within them.
Women who know they are being called home to themselves.
If those words cause your heart to flutter or tingles to flood your body, then Ireland’s Queens may already be whispering your name!
This retreat isn't for everyone. You’ve got to feel the calling!
Ireland’s emerald crystalline core cradles Her heart of gold.
Gold runs through our bloodlines,
and through the arteries of Ireland.
The Queens Route
The Queens route is a loop through Ireland’s Ancient East and Ireland’s Hidden Heartlands, starting and ending in Dublin city.
The retreat begins the moment that you say yes to yourself!
On a practical level, you'll begin receiving:
preparation emails
sacred practices
songs and meditations
access to a private group to connect with other participants
Irish blessings and journal prompts
So the retreat begins months before you even land in Ireland!
“Eimear, your exceptional ability to herd sacred felines with ancient, deep and gentle guided knowledge creates a container for each participant to enjoy their own exceptional experience. ”
The Queen’s Journey: The Queen’s Way Itinerary
The retreat begins on 21 April 2027 with a pickup from Dublin city centre and ends on 1 May 2027 in Dublin city centre.
Day 1: The Calling: Dublin to Slane ~ Opening Ceremony for Royal Queens in the Heart of the Boyne Valley
Wednesday 21 April 2027
Answering the call.
We meet in Dublin City Centre and travel into the heart of the Boyne Valley to Slane, County Meath. With time to check in to our gorgeous accommodation, we then walk in sacred ceremony up to The Hill of Slane.
This is an important starting point since it’s where St Patrick lit the Paschal fire in an attempt to snuff out the ancient pagan ways. We offer our feelings, thoughts and prayers at this panoramic, and perhaps windy, site.
Back in our accommodation, enjoy the private grounds with huge mature trees, wild bluebells and ferns and families of chatty crows!
We enjoy a ceremonial opening dinner in the form of a regal feast for Royal Queens who have answered the call.
The atmospheric Hill of Slane
Day 2: The Descent: Reignite Your Gold Within Bóinn’s Womb
Thursday 22 Apr 2027
Entering the womb of the land.
After a leisurely breakfast and morning check-in, we visit the three monuments of the Newgrange Complex (Newgrange, Knowth & Dowth), hugged by the River Boyne, Goddess Bóinn’s river.
It’s a day to connect to the ancestors and elementals of these lands, including the Tuatha Dé Danann, the fairy beings, Goddess Bóinn and Sun God Dagda, through Eimear’s sacred storytelling and on site guided tours. We’ll have time at the stones as storykeepers to decode their symbology and unique meaning for you.
Enjoy integration time at the end of the day, with time to share and relax whilst connecting to the ancient language of the Boyne Valley landscape.
Day 3: The Remembering: Queen, Remember Your Royal Lineage at the Ancient Royal Seat of Tara
Friday 23 April 2027
Remembering Your Royal Lineage.
Today we walk the Hill of Tara ~ the royal seat of the ancient Kings and Queens of Ireland. This ceremonial site holds secrets held beneath the mounds and above at the Lia Fail – the Stone of Destiny. Your destiny.
This is the place to remember your pure royalty within, washed down by the pure holy waters at the Well at Tara.
Your audience with Queen Maebh awaits at her Rath, her fort, where we connect to her powerful energy. We drink the intoxicating mead (Irish honey wine) elixir from her golden chalice. This is the drink of royalty.
Returning to our accommodation in Slane, you’ll have time to integrate our day, share and relax.
“Thank you for the trip of a lifetime! My dreams were realized as I pressed soul to soil and walked the ancient lands.”
Day 4: The Reclamation: Queens Rise Up! Step onto Your Sovereign Throne
Saturday 24 April 2027
Reclaiming Your Throne.
Today we journey to the Loughcrew Cairns and the home of The Cailleach Witch. Together we climb her hill (this is a steep pull up), connect with Her energies at this power portal and enjoy sacred storytelling.
You have the opportunity to step onto Your Throne as we celebrate YOU as you fully reclaim and embody your power.
We check-in to our spa hotel, fit for the Queen that you are becoming, on the banks of Lough Ennell, County Westmeath, where we will spend the next 3 nights.
Day 5: The Queen’s Pause: Sacred Rest Day
Sunday 25 April 2027
Resting Into Yourself.
Even Queens rest into a sacred pause! Today is your rest day to enjoy the beautiful surroundings of Lough Ennell near Ireland’s sacred centre, that carries important mythology. You can choose to enjoy an optional spa treatment; spend time writing within the inspirational surroundings on the banks of Lough Ennell. Enjoy a day of silence, connecting more deeply to your inner landscape with the land. Take a stroll around Lough Ennell or get to know your fellow retreat pilgrims and host even more deeply.
This is a day to be with yourself, to allow the integration of the Queen Codes of pure ancient royalty and, when you’re ready, we enjoy dinner at our beautiful hotel.
Day 6: The Centre: Connect to Your Sacred Centre at Uisneach, the Spiritual Centre of Ireland
Monday 26 April 2027
Returning to your sacred centre.
After another beautiful breakfast, we travel to Uisneach to enjoy our very own private tour of The Hill of Uisneach. This is the sacred and geographic centre of Ireland of huge importance to ancient and modern Ireland. All of which you’ll learn more about in a fantastic and highly rated guided walking tour where we walk, barefoot if you wish, to Ail na Muireann, the stone of division or The Cat Stone.
Here you can enjoy a Return to Your Sacred Sovereign Centre attunement at The Cat Stone and the final resting place of Goddess Ériu.
We’ll also visit St. Brigid's Well, Tobar Bhríde, by The Hill of Uisneach to commune with the sacred waters connecting to the umbilicus, the omphalos, connecting you to earth and cosmos.
We return to our hotel on the banks of Lough Ennell for our last night in Ireland’s sacred centre.
Day 7: The Boglands: Ireland’s Hidden Heartlands to Ireland’s Ancient East ~ Uisneach to Kildare
Tuesday 27 April 2027
Excavating Your Truth.
Moving on, we drive east to County Kildare, the home of Goddess and Saint Brigid, keeper of the sacred flame, stopping off at significant sites along the way including the Cloncrow Bog and Village Trail to enjoy an immersive walk into the rich diversity and significance of an Irish peat raised bog which is dated to 10,000 years old. The trail winds through the village of Tyrrellspass founded by the Norman Tyrrell family.
Croghan Hill, Cnoc Cruacháin, is also an important site to activate our Queen. An extinct volcano rises out of the Bog of Allen in County Offaly. The birthplace of Saint Brigid of Kildare is believed to be nearby. We connect to our buried treasures here. Perhaps this is where you buried your gifts to be retrieved now.
We stay in a beautiful hotel in Kildare town for the next three nights.
“Follow the flicker of Brigid’s flame as the Magdalene’s flame of pure truth. The veils are lifting, allowing access to vast libraries of wisdom. Wisdom that has been held secret and sacred until now.”
Day 8: The Flame: Ignite Your Inner Flame with Triple Goddess (Queen) Brigid
Wednesday 28 April 2027
Ignite your inner fire: Brigid's flame is waiting. Today we enter Kildare and the sacred land of Brigid to explore what it means to tend the flame of your own life.
We begin at Kildare Heritage Centre to enjoy a wonderful educational virtual reality tour to learn about Brigid of Kildare. We visit St Brigid’s Cathedral to enjoy the beautiful exterior and interior, including a Sheila-na-gig.
On the grounds of St Brigid’s Cathedral lies the remains of Brigid’s Fire Temple. We will spend time here in sacred ceremony to honour fire elemental and Brigid as Goddess and Saint.
Tonight there’s Live Irish Music at our hotel - what an experience this will be!
Day 9: The Water: Restorative Sacred Waters and Brigid’s Holy Wells
Thursday 29 April 2027
Receiving the wisdom of the wells.
Today is all about Brigid and Sacred Water for another day of exploring Kildare town on foot. We step inside the peaceful St Brigid’s Parish Church where a relic of St Brigid is held.
We continue our walk to Brigid’s Holy Wells (yes! there are 2 Brigid’s wells!). We will take time to commune with Brigid, her holy well waters and the sacred Hawthorn trees. We have all the time we need here to soak up the sacredness of these wells.
Enjoy a Brigid’s Well Waters of Wisdom and Storytelling Ceremony.
We stay in Kildare town again tonight.
Day 10: The Revolution: Igniting the Royal Revolution Within to ReAlign You On Your Path
Friday 30 April 2027
Connecting to your royal revolutionary state: Rooting into the real Ireland.
Irish sovereignty is part of Ireland’s lived history, not just the domain of Irish mythology. Those women and men who envisioned a free independent Ireland held sovereignty in their hearts and took action across Her lands. Today you get to walk in their footsteps as they lead the way.
Leaving Kildare we drive to County Dublin and St Endas Park by Eimear’s birth home. Within St Endas Park is the Pearse Museum which is a former school for boys founded by Irish Revolutionary Patrick Pearse.
Here we enjoy a private tour which takes you on a journey through Ireland’s revolutionary journey and fight for freedom.
We’ll spend time connecting more deeply to the history of Ireland’s rising and the role of the poets, teachers, visionaries and dreamers in Ireland’s attempts of colonial liberation.
Enjoy lunch within the tranquillity of St Endas Park in the peaceful surroundings whilst being serenaded by the gentle sounds of trickling water in the courtyard, the birdsong and bumbling bees.
We return to Dublin city centre for a Closing Ceremonial Integration dinner, where we stay for the night, now as Royal Embodied Revolutionary Queens.
What are you willing to rise for?
What does sovereignty ask of you when you return home?
Irish sovereignty is not simply a story of the past and therefore to be forgotten. Today, you are invited to ask what sovereignty requires of you now?
Day 11: Queen’s Reign: Checkout and Depart Forever Changed
Saturday 1 May 2027
Queen, remember your reign and return home as sovereign Queen embodied.
We cross the threshold into the season of Bealtaine as your new threshold awaits. A time to fire up your passions in life, of blossoming and renewal. We enjoy a Bealtaine Breakfast before checking out of our Dublin hotel for good. Then it’s time for the long or short Irish goodbyes depending on your onward travels & departures, forever transformed.
“From the beginning I felt I could relax into it and trusted Eimear’s pre-planning and flexibility and judgment. ”
Ireland is not a pretty backdrop on this retreat. Ireland and the land Herself is the teacher.
The mountains. The wells. The stones. The rivers. The stories. The language. The music. The memory. The earth.
Ireland invites you home to learn, to listen, to remember AND to experience.
How will you know you are transformed when you return home?
You'll know what you are no longer available for, creating more spaciousness in your life
You'll have greater clarity about the next spiral of your life
You'll stop doubting yourself and asking for permission because you have become the woman you already know you are
You'll return with a clearer relationship to your leadership, work and purpose and inner Queen
You'll know what deserves your energy and focus, and what doesn't
There’ll be moments when you can’t stop smiling as you remember the stories, fun and joy that is Ireland’s legacy within you
You'll trust your intuition more deeply and lead from this place
You'll feel more deeply rooted and connected to the present moment
You'll carry Ireland within you, within your heart, within your whole being
You’ll walk like a Queen who knows her higher vision and purpose now
You’ll have a deeper relationship with the Irish Goddesses and Gods having visited their sacred places
You'll remember who you are when life becomes noisy again, and you’ll know how to be the calm in the centre of the storm
You'll leave with the quiet certainty that your life can no longer be lived in the old way
And that is priceless…..
Walk the land, soles to soil, to activate your royal remembrance; sing your soul song and resurrect the magical truth of who you are.
Walk the path of Golden Queen Codes of magic, mystery and deep meaning to enliven your path.
What have past Queens most loved?
Exceptional accommodation.
Beautiful pacing.
Personal attention.
Deep knowledge of Ireland.
Spaciousness.
Wonderful food.
Exceptional local guides.
The freedom to follow the moment.
“Eimear, you help people awaken to their soul truth, the parts of them that are asleep. You help sing them back to the light, to remembrance through the beauty of your words and the magic that you weave.”

Meet Your Retreat Guide, Eimear Stassin:
Dia duit / Hi! I’m Eimear
I’m born and bred in Dublin, Ireland and, after travelling the world for a year in ‘99/ 2000, I laid down new roots in Scotland where I live with my husband, 3 children and Border Collie dog called Riley. And yet, Ireland consistently calls me home to my roots, lineage and remembrance.
In early 2017 I stepped out through the revolving doors of Corporate into the setting sun of Edinburgh’s West End, leaving my 20 year Global Financial Services Career for good.
Choosing entrepreneurship set me on a path of deep spiritual exploration of self, identity and our purpose here on earth. With no road map other than my growing trust in the wisdom of my soul, I could not have planned for what has unfolded since!
A dramatic witch awakening on 8:8:2020 whilst going on tour of the Edinburgh Dungeons plunged me deeper into healing the witch wounds of persecution, suppression and silencing. Opening my channels to the transmissions of The Witches and my own gifts that I had shut down; healing my throat chakra to speak this wisdom into the collective.
Around the same time, my curiosity piqued into my own Irish heritage including my namesake Eimear of the 6 gifts of womanhood, re-aligning me with The Irish Medicine Wheel and Irish Goddesses and Gods, who I would come to befriend and forge deep and lasting relationships with.
Ireland was calling me home! The pull was strong to travel to the sacred sites mainly around Ireland and Scotland, to embody the remembrances and to continue to heal and share my experiences with others. Returning to my deep Irish roots and to stories of my ancestors continues to unlock so much magic, inspiration and creativity from within me in an endless well of wisdom so rich and profound! Which is why I have created this special retreat, to share all I’ve experienced with you.
Goddess Brigid made herself known to me in early 2023, handing me a tiny ember that became a flame in the palm of my hand. Alongside her came The Magdalenes, who stepped into my awareness as a collective returning now as one, of deep nurturing love.
In late 2024, I founded The Irish Wisdom School where the voices and wisdom of Ireland could speak freely once again.
From WITCHES to GODDESSES to MAGDALENES to QUEEN to ÉRIU once again.
The message from The Witches and wise ones has always been to rise up, return to our power and step back onto our throne. To be the Queen/King that we are and have always been. Displaced from our throne, our seat of power, we are being called now to reclaim our own rites of Queendom/Kindgom within our divine temple.
I’ve carefully curated and crafted this retreat in order that you can rise up and return to your innate power that has always been here. Ireland, the land and my connection with these sacred lands, are catalysts where I encourage you to walk alongside me, learning, inspiring, healing, uplifting, embodying and illuminating your unique royal noble frequency of Ireland’s Gold.
I look forward to walking the deeply sacred lands of Ireland’s Ancient East with you.
Le grá / with love,
Eimear x
Feedback from previous Ireland’s Ancient East Retreat experiences hosted by Eimear:
Thank you for the trip of a lifetime!
My dreams were real-ized as I pressed soul to soil and walked the ancient lands, encountered kind and helpful people who strongly believe in honoring the Earth and Her creatures above and below ground, and were wonderful travellers on the journey. The retreat was a true pilgrimage to a sacred land for me and you were the best leader anyone could ask for, full of wisdom, delight and joy, and faery magic!!
I particularly enjoyed the choices of group guides for the sites. They were each exceptional in their own way. The places we stayed, especially Boyne House. The group itself- a wonderful combination of kind, open, interesting souls.
Thank you for all your hard work and planning for this deep dive into ancient Ireland and resurfacing with hope for the future. Blessed be. - Donna R, USA. Ireland’s Ancient East Retreat 2026
A container for each participant to enjoy their own exceptional experience.
Eimear, Your exceptional ability to herd cats (sacred felines) with ancient, deep and gentle guided knowledge creates a container for each participant to enjoy their own exceptional experience.
Legends and food options all worked out very well I thought. Your idea to extend the trip to have more days at each location and even the flexibility to lengthen the experience at a particular site which is magical in the moment helped with the flow of the trip.
I loved having our own rooms, the restaurants, meal choices, the mini-bus all worked out well. - Karen L, USA. Ireland’s Ancient East Retreat 2026
I’m still buzzing with energy, despite the jet lag!
Eimear was such a gracious and lively host of her homeland! She picked exceptional guides for our amazing tours, and her own storytelling from lifelong experiences highlighted our trip.
Accommodations were exceptional and the included breakfasts and dinners were wonderful giving our group time to reflect together and share perspectives. Her spontaneous outbreak of song enlivened the group, and kept spirits high!
I’m still buzzing with energy, despite the jet lag!
Thank you, Eimear, for planning and executing a trip of a lifetime! - Dianne Gosslee, USA. Ireland’s Ancient East Retreat 2026
From the beginning I felt I could relax into it and trusted Eimear’s pre-planning and flexibility and judgment.
I enjoyed the immersion into each experience and the sense of spaciousness and respect for individual needs/interests. Many aspects of this well planned retreat worked well for me.
I am so grateful for having had this beautiful experience in the company of likeminded people. Thank you, Eimear! - Barbara, USA. Ireland’s Ancient East Retreat 2026
This retreat warmed my heart and provided a bushel of memories to lighten my return home.
I totally enjoyed the retreat. The pace was good understanding that occasionally the day was too full [for me], yet overall it was perfect. There was adequate time to read, walk and absorb the sites we visited. The accommodations were excellent and the food delicious. While I was unable to fully access a couple of sites due to physical limitations, I totally enjoyed the opportunity to learn about the ancient history as well as get an expanded overview of the strive for national independence. It was so pleasant to enjoy the other women on the retreat as well as all the others we met. Thank you for you marvellous joy and knowledge.
While my physical limitations prevented me from walking all the sites, I felt you did a marvellous job of creating a tour that covered an extensive range of sites visited. The pace provided a restful and educational overview. The length of the tour and the sites visited exposed us to the extraordinary history of Ireland in numerous venues. I came home and did a great deal of research to expand my knowledge based on much of what I learned on the retreat.
Eimear, it was a joy to meet you and experience your enthusiasm about the sites we visited and Ireland in general. Coming from the relatively dark atmosphere here in the U.S., the beauty of your country, the friendliness of its people and your own bright spirit, this retreat warmed my heart and provided a bushel of memories to lighten my return home. - Susan, USA. Ireland’s Ancient East Retreat 2026
I really connected with the heart of Ireland, and the land…to have seen all the goddess sites and to really bring that into my own life and gatherings.
This was a wonderful trip. It was so healing and powerful for me to visit these sacred sites and connect with the stories and the goddess energy at each of the sites. I felt like I really connected with the heart of Ireland, and the land.
What worked for me was each of us having our own rooms, to be able to release and relax in privacy and alone was vital and perfect. The van transportation worked well. The sites we visited and travelled to were wonderful. I loved each one of them.
Having the guide at Brigid's cathedral was lovely. Boyne House was exquisite - more nights there! The meals were all wonderful.
Uisneach was AMAZING. The guide, the tour, being barefoot, the well, the history, the stories. Oh goddess, I loved it!
I really enjoyed the virtual reality of Brigid. It is not something I would have done for myself, and I loved the extra-ness and light-heartedness of it!
I am so grateful to have seen all the goddess sites and to really bring that into my own life and gatherings.
Thank you. - Wendie Hosmer, USA. Ireland’s Ancient East Retreat 2026
Read about what other’s say about their retreat experiences hosted by Eimear:
“Fabulous. Magical and very comfortable.
The comraderie with Eimear and all the participants was wonderful!
I loved it all, the choices of the sites we visited and the healing ceremonies/journeys were amazing!
A wonderful retreat, would highly recommend!”
- Monica McCarthy, Canada. Dingle 2025 Retreat
“Personally I found the retreat to be unique and transforming, each day I experienced a touch of nostalgia.
Our host Eimear has a nurturing and joyful nature, welcoming us all like we were family! Each song, each meditation and each sacred journeying session was deeply felt spiritually!! We celebrated each day for what we have accomplished and for making our wishes possible! Lots of laughter and tears, a lifetime experience I’ll hold close to my heart for I now have Anam Cara’s (soul friends).
I didn’t want the retreat to end and would have loved more days added for more adventures and time spent together! - Sophia Jennings, Australia. Dingle 2025 Retreat
“THANK-YOU!!!!! Thank-you for sharing your precious childhood memories and places and making it all special for US to appreciate and enjoy.
I loved that we were all together in the same place for a true group experience. Having the lounge was wonderful for our morning and evening wandering in and out. The inn was just the right size, really cozy.
I appreciated the way things just unfolded naturally, rather than trying to "force" fit into a predetermined schedule. The stories were discreetly sprinkled in throughout…I also loved the way we could improvise around the "plan"- we pretty much did everything/went everywhere, but in the right time, with lots of lovely surprises sprinkled throughout.” - Evelyn, Canada. Dingle 2025 Retreat
"There was such a sense of acceptance and freedom. Loved the fun and laughter. It was so infectious.
Everything was compact, the kitchen, the bedrooms, the meeting area. This gave a cosy welcoming energy to retreat. The love and respect between participants. The way you allowed the flow to change as it needed too. Everyone was encouraged to participate in whatever way the energy moved them.
Eimear, what to say about you, dear one! Your warmth, love, sense of fun and total Professionalism all rolled up in a witch with a huge smile and even bigger heart.
You are the central wheel that had an idea and made it happen. I'm eternally grateful.
It was why I was meant to travel all the way from Australia to experience magic - your magic." - Suzanne Dainer, Australia. Scotland 2023 Retreat
"The stunning & very powerful location. The facilitators & creators who had clearly been working & weaving this for a long time so it was inspirational & a privilege to be a part of! The spontaneity & inclusivity.
Wow! I tear up each time I think back to our amazing shared experiences together. To me you are a visionary, a leader, a powerful & inspirational storyteller, a mother, an Irish goddess warrior & witch of the earth & fire! You have great insight, wisdom & strength that resonates so deeply yet you are beautifully humble, open, candid, vulnerable & modest about your divine abilities & gifts.
You do not seek the limelight, glory or accolades. You have a deep truth in your heart that is leading the way & attracting many loyal believers & this is merely the beginning for an entire spiritual transformation as a result of your awakening & desire to speak your truth & resonate deeply with those who will walk beside you on this path in true faith, trust, honour & gratitude. Thank you so much!" - Liam Imison-Harvey, UK. Scotland 2024 Retreat
"Given the experience of the weekend - it’s impossible to be anything but in awe of it!
Eimear, your graciousness, ease and warmth set the tone and temperament for the entire experience - and that was important as we each rode the rollercoaster of our own experience. You are a generous leader and your steadying presence was important through all the work that was undertaken. I was blown away with what I received.
The schedule was good - with enough time for rest and breaks, and to enjoy breakfast. The balance of opportunity for each to speak so that we all got a sense of who each other is, was really good. Each had time, no one dominated.
I have not attended anything like this before...your event was grounded, possible to step into for me - and in a most compelling place! I think it was an off the charts success - and thank you for it!" - JB, Canada. Scotland 2023 Retreat
"I liked the fact that we all participated, I felt each of us brought his or her gift and it was shared in service to the healing of all of us.
For me to see my book come alive as a play, and realizing my work was so well received was a Wow moment. The bowls, the singing, the oils, the drumming and our presence, all together made it a powerful experience.
Just say how grateful I am that Eimear hosted this retreat and made us all feel welcome and valuable. I never felt there were "teachers" and "students". We were all powerful witches.
How I wish I could participate in many more of these retreats..." - LC, UK. Scotland 2024 Retreat
Come, step into sacred space.
Remember how we lived in wondrous co-creative ways.
Dancing with the spirits of the land.
Communing with the elementals.
Weaving magic with the fairies.
Dreamweaving together.
Birthing new worlds into existance.
May the true voice of Ériu be heard now.
Retreat to Ireland’s Ancient East next Spring Equinox ~ a powerful initiation is waiting for you and your inner Queen.
With love,

She who is deeply connected through the heart, to remember her purest essence once again. For her essence is your essence too.
When She thrives, her Queendom thrives.
Wild flowers grow wherever the Sovereign Queen treads.
Breadcrumbs of beauty adorn her path.
The ability to create universes is at her fingertips with an ancient technology beyond our mind’s current comprehension.
She knows the hardship of hiding her true gifts within the dominant structures of her time, for she has lived through every experience that you could possibly conjure up.
Yet she is now stepping out of hiding.
She is ready to reveal the glorious golden truth of who she really is ~ the depth and breath of her fullest Sovereign Queen form.
Where her power is her presence.
This living temple does exist. I believe it’s encoded into the land of Ireland and in particular at the Ancient Royal Sites.
You’re invited to step inside to ignite memories of wholeness, abundance, truth and love within you ~ your inner Sovereign Queen.
