with Dearbhla Glynn and Susan Quirke
We invite you to step into 2025 grounded in peace, power, and purpose.
Peace begins within: This retreat will cultivate inner peace for a more peaceful world
Dearbhla Glynn and Susan Quirke have wanted to collaborate for a long time to offer you a powerful yoga and meditation retreat, they are delighted to offer you this retreat to mark the beginning of the New Year.
The intention is to create a nurturing, healing space where we can gather as a community during this pivotal time on Earth. By cultivating peace within ourselves, we believe we can radiate that peace outward into the world as we step into 2025.
In the past year there has been an escalation of war and violence, the need for peace is greater than ever before. *Our hope is together, in shared community, we can co-create greater peace for ourselves and the world around us.*
We’ve crafted a 3-day journey of yoga and meditation that serves as deeply nourishing start to your new year. Held at the beautiful Octagon at Common Knowledge in Co. Clare from January 2nd – 4th, this retreat offers a transformative and healing experience.
Retreat Highlights:
