Illuminating Ireland’s Gold
Retreat to Ireland’s Ancient East
Spring Equinox
21 April - 1 May 2027
With your host,
Eimear Stassin
~ Step inside the story of your own becoming in a unique retreat that starts in Dublin’s Fair City and traces a circular route around the sacred sites of Ireland’s Ancient East ~
Journey to the magical island of Ireland and walk the sacred land with Eimear to illuminate the wise mystical frequency of gold within you.
We 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 voice of the ancestors of these lands are waiting to commune with you once again.
~ Illuminate Ireland’s Gold within you and return home to rooted wholeness ~
Step inside this sacred pilgrimage and we will:
Share Stories: Because Ireland is the Seanachaí
She aches for her stories to be told.
For her secrets to be shared.
She cradles the heaviness held in the land to support it’s (and your) transmutation.
She is ready now to share her draíocht, her magic, her deep wisdom, with you.
What do you wish to know?, she whispers,
as she gently guides you home to your Irish and Indigenous roots.
Dream Big: Ag brionglóideach ~ dreaming
What is your dream? Ireland asks.
The emerald crystalline heart of Ériu welcomes you home to her primordial roots; her riches, her sacred wealth that is waiting for you.
She invites you to step barefoot, soles to soil, upon these sacred lands. To remember the soul seeds that you planted eons ago.
To retrieve these now for these times.
Her soul song is ripe now to sing freely across Her love lines once again.
Gather with Soul Family: Meitheal ~ A Sacred Gathering
Meitheal is the Irish word for a gathering. It’s a way of coming together in community to plant, weave, harvest and celebrate. To support eachother in work and play in mutual co-operation.
It’s an ancient expression of the spirit that upholds community in a natural, organic way by bringing us closer to pure harmonious ways of living that are innately familiar to us.
Iomramh: Embark on The Immram~Sea-voyagE
Enter the lands where ancient treasures are buried beneath the mounds, in the rivers and out upon the salty ocean.
Embark on your unique voyage of discovery through meditation and walking the lands, to The Otherworld, to retrieve your buried treasures. This is a voyage like no other, a pilgrimage voyage from which you never return the same.
Ireland is ready now to share her draíocht, her magic, that went underground with the Tuatha Dé Danann and is ready to be resurrected by your presence, frequency and energy once again.
An Seanachaí ~ Ag brionglóideach ~ Meitheal ~ Draíocht ~ Iomramh
These words sum up the deeply profound voyage of discovery that awaits you when you say YES! to this epic pilgrimage opportunity.
Join us!…
In a small intimate group of 9 women.
With beautiful hand-picked single occupancy 4 star accommodation in early 19th Century Country Houses and 18th Century hotels.
In a comfortable minibus as your transport.
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.

~ ór: aurum: gold ~
Gold runs through our bloodlines and through the arteries of Ireland.
Gold illuminates, activates and heals. Ireland’s emerald crystalline core cradles Her heart of gold.
Throughout this retreat journey we will be connecting to the powerful frequency of gold as a pure, royal, noble, stable energy that’s resurrecting now to weave and support us in our work…including Eimear’s dreamtime and awake-time initiations with the element of GOLD.

Meet Your Retreat Guide, Eimear Stassin:
Dia duit / Hi! I’m Eimear (rhymes with dreamer).
I’m from 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. I love rocks, travelling to sacred sites, gathering people in circle and walking the land!
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
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
Ériu Speaks
Be our voice.
Speak our stories.
Honour our flesh and bones upon native soil. Home grown on the lands of Ériu.
Don’t shy away from what’s painful.
Don’t use the name of Ireland to profit only your pockets.
Turn gently towards all of that painful history that’s still embedded in the bones of the collective.
It’s ok to speak about these wounds – the colonial wounds and all these wounds deeply felt by the people of Ireland and beyond.
When you speak, this loosens the density of the shame and silence that’s holding these lands captive.
This sets your cells free organically, naturally repairing your DNA as the pain releases and returns to earth source to be transmuted home to truth.
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 voice of Ériú be heard now.
Le grá / with love,
Eimear agus Ériu / Eimear and Ireland xx
Retreat to Ireland’s Ancient East next Spring Equinox ~ a powerful initiation is waiting for you!
