Trip Highlights
Festival Fun
The highlight of our journey will be the Beltane Festival at the Hill of Uisneach. This ancient Celtic festival marks the beginning of summer and the return of the sun’s warmth and light. The Hill of Uisneach is an ancient ceremonial site that holds deep spiritual significance for the people of Ireland. We’ll join in the festival celebrations, which include traditional music, dancing, and bonfires. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to participate in a living tradition passed down through generations.
Ancient Wisdom
We’ll also explore other sacred sites throughout Ireland, including the Cliffs of Moher (one of Ireland’s most iconic natural wonders), Brigid’s Holy Well (a sacred site honoring one of Ireland’s most beloved goddesses), and the Neolithic stone circle at Lough Gur (a powerful place of ancient ritual and ceremony). These sites hold powerful energy and are steeped in history and myth. Our private tour guide will share their significance and help us connect with the ancient wisdom that lives in these places.
Learning
At SoulFire, we’re honored to have Lady Grey, an expert in the Wise Woman archetype, lead us in our exploration of ancient Irish wisdom traditions. Her teachings are unique and transformative, offering insights and tools that will help you tap into your own inner wisdom and power. You’ll be invited to explore the rich traditions, including the power of story and the spoken word, your connection to memory, tradition, history, culture, and the ancient pathways of the heart.
Culture
We’ll be indulging in traditional Irish food, music, and dance, immersing ourselves in the rich culture of Ireland. From hearty stews and freshly baked soda bread to lively sessions in cozy pubs, you’ll experience the warmth and hospitality of the Irish people. As a special treat on our final day, we’ll be joined by the brilliant Nuala Hayes, a storyteller who has spent her life gathering stories about the Cailleach/Goddess/Wise Woman in Irish and Scottish mythology!

We accept all credit cards. Once I receive your deposit, I will personally call you and help you design a payment plan. You’ll have nearly a year (until February 27, 2024 – 60 days prior to the trip) to pay in full, but you can pay off your balance at any time or make installment payments on a regular basis.
COVID related: In the case of a COVID cancellation or shut down of international travel per the recommendation of the United States government, the retreat will be rescheduled and all deposits and payments may be applied to that retreat, a future retreat, or may be refunded.
Retreat fees must be paid in full 60 days before the retreat begins or you forfeit your space. All fees are non-refundable (except as outlined above). After that date, you will forfeit your deposit but can apply your balance to another retreat or coaching program. We highly recommend you purchase trip insurance when you book your air travel.

Registration guarantees your spot is saved on the Retreat. Once you confirm your exclusive registration, you are taking one of a very limited number of spaces and as such there are no cash refunds in the event that you must cancel.
However, should you need to cancel your space on this retreat, we will happily give you a credit for our next retreat or for a one-on-one empowerment coaching program.
We will fly into Dublin and out of Shannon. As a reminder, airport transfers ARE included. We will coordinate times and pickups after everyone has their flights arranged.
We’ll talk about this in detail during our group calls, and I’ll be sending you a thorough packing list. Please note that good footwear and appropriate warm clothes and some rain gear are highly suggested.
We encourage everyone to share with one other incredible retreat sister, who we hope will become a life-long friend. Due to limited space in our lodging, single rooms are not always available. A great solution to this is to take advantage of the special $150 off referral offer and invite a girlfriend to travel with you so you can room together!
You are encouraged to tuck your electronic devices away until it’s time for photos of amazing food or landmarks! At our lodging there will typically be WiFi you can use to check email or make WiFi calls to family.
By attending this retreat, you are taking full responsibility for your mental health, your physical capabilities and emotional well-being as an adult. I am not a doctors or medical practitioner.
If you have a serious illness, it is critical that you share your doctor’s information with me prior to the trip. This includes therapists, specialists, etc. Lady Grey reserves the right to tell you if the trip seems like it will be too strenuous or not a good a fit for you.
Please clear this trip and your travel with your own healthcare team. Be sure to pack whatever medications or vitamins you need for your health. You may also ALWAYS choose to opt out of any physically demanding activities at your own discretion. There are many events that require walking, and unfortunately, not all buildings in Paris are accessible because of their age. Feel free to contact me with any questions you have at 814-574-8403.
If you have special food concerns, please let us know on your registration form and we’ll do our best to make sure that your food is right for you. Please also take the added responsibility of confirming during meals that ingredients that you are allergic or sensitive to have not been used. Human error does occur, so please be aware for your own well-being.
