Weaving Irish language,

Kundalini Yoga, live music

and

nature connection with the wisdom of the Celtic Calendar,

this weekend retreat offers an opportunity to expand perspectives, deepen roots and gather resilience as we tend the creative spark of our life force within.

Knowing the depth of the land that holds us,

the wisdom that awaits us as we reclaim our heritage and our “anam” our soul – we can rest more deeply : knowing who we are.

This is a weekend retreat offering rooted rest.

With powerful healing kundalini yoga & meditation practices,

we clear the way to connect with our inner wisdom, intuition and capacity for vision and imagination. Live music will accompany the journey on low whistle, guitar, frame drum, voice and sruti box. As mantra frames the practices of Kundalini Yoga & Meditation this sacred sound current holds an elevated consciousness to allow us to connect with and affirm our soul essence. As we prepare for the descent of Samhain and the dark months ahead – we cultivate and kindle the life force energy and the Light within each one of us. We descent into our roots and anchor deep in the truth of who we are, as infinite Soul.

Ireland has been a place known for spiritual wisdom for thousands of years. Pilgrims have travelled to our high places, to our sacred mountains and drank the sweet waters that flow through this fertile land. As a ‘wounded healer’ Ireland holds an archetype with great healing potential for the rest of the world. A turning point for healing the collective begins within each one of us – awakening from the dream of separation to access and reclaim our innate creativity, imagination and our place within the cosmos. Our ancestors learned their ‘alphabet” as the names of trees and shrubs of the land, not as a separation from nature but as an embodied and cyclical perception within a flow of life, without beginning or end.

We too can engage with our native trees to embrace the guidance and medicine of this rooted perspective.

In the Celtic Calendar, Samhain is the beginning of the year : here we can share a sacred space to prepare for the times ahead.

This retreat is suitable for people new to Kundalini Yoga & Meditation. Open to both men and women.

Participants receive a personal Healing Session during the weekend.

Aquarian Sadhana – Early Morning Yoga Practice ( Saturday & Sunday )**

Sharing yoga in the Amit Vela, the early morning hours, is a beautiful and foundational part of the Kundalini Yoga Practice. There is a sublime joy as we prepare to meet the day with a nourishing yoga practice, followed by deep relaxation, and then chanting with live music as the sun rises.

The full Aquarian Sadhana begins with recitation of JaapJi – “the Song of the Soul”.

This has been a key part of my own daily sadhana for many years. Composed in Gurmuki,

a language combining Sanskrit and Punjabi, this takes about twenty minutes to recite. You are welcome to join in or simply lie down and listen. The physical yoga set begins around 7am. This includes deep relaxation with live music, and is followed by chanting a series of Aquarian Mantras to elevate our consciousness to the presence of the divine, beyond duality. Participating in a full Aquarian sadhana can be a powerfully uplifting experience!

Aisling Gheall : Creative Vision – The Call of Destiny

Kundalini yoga offers a path of spiritual warrior. Through these time tested practices we can let go of stress, tension worry and heal ourselves from self-limiting patterns. We strengthen our courage and release fear.

We use the energy of fire within us to strengthen our will, bring crystal clear focus and move through the challenges that we may face. We cultivate a strong aura and connection to the panic body through our breath.

Ultimately, we invite divine guidance and alignment with our soul so that we can live our Life Purpose and shine our Light into the world.

1.00pm: Lunchtime

2.00pm : Ag Súil le Sonas : Creativity & Joy

Our creativity can be a powerful alli in restoring our sense of personal empowerment, rather than feeling ourselves to be victims or passive within a broader narrative over which we may seem too have no control.

We will explore these themes through focused Kundalini Yoga practice and an opportunity for playful creative expression – restoring our agency as creative beings and our capacity to engage with our life experiences from a new perspective.

we can cultivate a strong will, focus and capacity to create positive change in our lives, and in our world.

We will embrace the creative power of silence, stillness and presence.
