Sacred Pause

A CELTIC REST AND RESTORE RETREAT 

MOUNT ST ANNES,  COUNTY LAOIS IRELAND    

FRIDAY SEPT 18TH TO TUES  SEP 22ND 2026 

 Rooted in Celtic Spirituality, created for your deep rest

 

In the rush of modern life, we so easily forget the sacred rhythm of rest. Sacred Pause is an invitation to step away from busyness and return to your natural state of quiet wisdom, deep peace, and gentle strength.

This five-day, four-night retreat weaves ancient Celtic spirituality with restorative practices to nurture your body, mind, and spirit. Held within a circle of women, you will experience:

  • Guided meditations and mindful practices inspired by Brigid, Anam Cara teachings, and Celtic blessings
  • Simple rituals with candle, water, and earth, bringing your intentions into sacred form
  • Time in nature, honouring the land as healer and soul friend
  • Restorative movement and body practices, awakening softness and vitality
  • Sacred silence and unstructured time to sleep, journal, or simply be
  • Reflection circles and gentle teachings, reconnecting you to what is deeply true within

Each day unfolds around a theme drawn from Celtic tradition:

 

🕊️ Crossing the Threshold – Entering sacred time and space
🌸 Resting in Anam Cara Presence – Remembering belonging and soul friendship
🔥 Listening to Inner Wisdom – Rekindling Brigid’s flame within
🌿 Rekindling the Inner Fire – Awakening creativity and life force
✨ Returning with Blessing – Gathering insights to carry forward

 

This is not a retreat of striving, self-improvement, or endless learning. It is a sanctuary of rest, where you are invited to lay down your burdens, listen deeply, and remember that you are held by something ancient, wise, and kind.

Come. Be still. Let the land hold you. Return home to yourself – rooted, restored, and blessed.
