The Program

The program offers a balance of time together and personal space to reflect

A gentle rhythm to the week

The program provides a good balance of time spent in a sacred circle, and enough personal space to reflect, integrate the material and enjoy all that the island has to offer.

Each morning begins with yoga and every afternoon we take the opportunity to get outside to immerse ourselves in the landscape with outdoor island based activities. This gives space to integrate the material and to allow the landscape to restore and refresh us. The landscape itself is a central part of the program, being in nature, in silence, in laughter, engaging in activities, in contemplation. The opportunity to be immersed in nature is one of the major strengths of this program and is a central tenet of Celtic spirituality. Interaction with the local community of artists and musicians, writers and poets will enrich our time together, providing opportunity to meet new friends and have fun. We spend morning and evening sessions exploring our theme, and share family style meals together.
