Day Retreats

Past retreats

Each retreat has been built around the same idea — that rest isn't something you find on your own, it's something you're guided back to. Looking for what's coming up next? See upcoming events →

Past retreat — July 2025

Escape the Chaos

An Sanctóir, Ballydehob

Our first gathering — a day built for anyone who needed permission to stop, if only for a few hours.

Past retreat — August 2025

Siesta and Solace

Sona Retreat Centre, Sheep's Head, West Cork

A slower, softer follow-up, leaning into rest and quiet companionship rather than escape.
