Creative Renewal
Join us for a
personalized weeklong retreat on the beautiful Dingle peninsula in Ireland. This
retreat is designed to meet your interests and needs while providing a relaxing
and nurturing environment. Hosted in a beautiful home in a rural area just
outside Dingle town, this intimate week will involve exploration, rest,
creativity and self-care.
Your week will include transportation from Tralee or Shannon
into Dingle/to the house, lodging in a shared room with queen bed, cooked
breakfast, lunch, and snacks, yoga with a certified instructor, creative
workshops with optional 9 ceu’s, and two day-tours out of Dingle. Workshops/ceu’s
will focus on writing, poetry, art, and self-care and are suitable for anyone-
no art or writing background is needed and all materials are supplied. All
sessions are optional, and you will have other free time to do more touring on
your own if you wish. Please keep in mind we will be in a remote area and while
traveling out of Dingle is possible, touring in Dublin or further areas is
suggested either before or after your retreat week. Your costs outside of the
listed retreat price will be airfare to Ireland, dinner each day, shopping, and
any add-on tours that you do (keep in mind that two wonderful tours are
included).
We will assist in personal arrangements and travel plans for
each individual so that everything goes smoothly for you, and we are happy to
give guidance in booking hotels and additional travel outside of the
retreat.
Total retreat cost is:
$1,600 for a shared queen room
Or
$2,200 if you would like a queen room to yourself with no
roommate.
To hold your space, a non-refundable deposit of $600 is due
by November 1, 2015.
Please select which week you would like to attend:
Week one: June 7-13, 2015
Week two: June 14-20, 2015

responsibility.
On days that we have tours, yoga will still be offered
either before or after the tour, depending on departure and arrival times.
On your afternoon free time you have many options like
taking a ferry to the Blasket Islands, doing some hiking, shopping and eating
in Dingle, and pubs in Dingle in the evenings. We may arrange a visit to a
potter’s studio in the nearby town of Annascaul (http://www.annascaulpottery.com/).
Strolling country lanes or walking down to the beach that is within two minutes
is an option. Or you could nap! Read, do
art, write, lounge around, visit with other participants, etc. Renewal comes in many forms.
