Brigid Day Retreat - February 1st

Service Description

Join us this Brigid’s Day (Imbolc) for a nourishing day in nature, celebrating renewal, light, and the gentle awakening of spring, in one of Ireland’s most beautiful landscapes. Imbolc marks the halfway point between winter and spring – a time traditionally associated with Brigid, goddess of healing, creativity, and new beginnings. Together, we will honour this ancient festival by slowing down, reconnecting with nature, and revitalising body and mind after the winter months. Our day begins with a gentle mindful hike through the forest, where we’ll practice elements of forest bathing and mindfulness, with regular pauses to notice the subtle signs of spring returning – light, water, plants, birds, and the land itself. Along the way, we’ll take time for reflection and seasonal intention-setting. We will also make small Brigid’s crosses, a traditional symbol of protection, renewal, and hope, connecting us to Irish seasonal traditions and the cycles of nature. After the walk, we’ll relax and restore with a private sauna session by the river in Glendalough. The warmth of the sauna, followed by an optional cold river dip, offers deep revitalisation, cleansing, and renewed energy – a powerful way to awaken the body after winter. We’ll finish with a tea ceremony by the Avonmore River, allowing time to integrate the experience in calm surroundings. 🗓️ Date: Sunday 1st February 📍 Location: Derrybawn & Glendalough, Wicklow ⏰ Time: 10am - 4:30pm 💰 Price: €45 per person or only €80 for two!

Previous hike participant's reviews: "Wonderful Samhain retreat with Kamila, second time to have mindful hike with her and was amazing again. So wonderful to be invited to slow down and take in nature and Kamila was very interesting and informative. Such a wonderful day which included mindful hike, sauna, river dip and finished off with a lovey herbal tea. Cant wait for the next experience x" - Caroline D. - October 2025
