Join Dearbhla Glynn and Susan Quirke for our second ‘Peace Retreat’, a deeply restorative retreat to celebrate the Summer Solstice - a time of powerful light. It is our intention to gather in community to reconnect with ourselves, nature, and one another. We gather to celebrate this peak moment of highest light, in beautiful Co. Clare on the west coast of Ireland. Held at the beautiful Octagon at Common Knowledge in Co. Clare from June 20th – June 22nd, 2025
In these profound and turbulent times on Earth, the need for peace has never been greater. As division and uncertainty ripple across the world, we gather with intention to generate peace and to celebrate the light within us and around us.
We also want to offer this retreat to local people, and we have an affordable tiered price point on this retreat. See below for tiered costs and also for options to stay on site in The Common Knowledge Centre. You may also prefer to drive from your own home if living locally or book your own private accommodation.
