Samhain Passage Retreat - November 1st

Service Description

Join us for a one-day retreat in nature to mark the Celtic new year, set in one of Ireland’s most stunning landscapes. Spend a restorative day in Wicklow’s wild beauty, beginning with a gentle, mindful forest hike where you’ll be invited into guided mindfulness and forest bathing practices. As we walk, we’ll take time to notice the turning of the season - autumn leaves underfoot, the chill in the air, the shifting light of early winter. After our hike, we’ll gather at a private riverside sauna by the Avonmore in Glendalough — with optional cold-water plunges in the river and a peaceful tea ceremony to ground and restore. The warmth of the fire, the bite of the cold, and the stillness of the forest create a powerful balance: a space for release, renewal, and reconnection at this ancient threshold of Samhain. 🗓️ Date: Saturday, 1 November 📍 Location: Derrybawn & Glendalough, Co.
