sisterhood
For women who carry the light
Seven nights of restorative practice, wild beauty, nourishing food, and meaningful connection in the west of Ireland.
Killary Fjord, Ireland | June 27-July 4, 2027
Come Alive at the Edge of the Atlantic
Imagine opening the door and letting exquisite beauty in. Salt air on your skin. Rain-polished stone beneath your feet. Green hills tumbling into the deep blue waters of Killary Fjord. The wind carries the scent of moss, heather, and sea, while the long western light turns the landscape gold.
For eight days and seven nights, Killary Lodge becomes our private home at the water’s edge. From the moment you arrive, you are invited to let go of the planning, decision-making, and carrying. Your beautiful accommodations, abundant meals, restorative practices, adventures, and excursions have all been thoughtfully arranged. There is nothing to organize and no pressure to fit everything in. Your only responsibility is to arrive, breathe deeply, and allow yourself to be cared for.
Connemara, Ireland | June 27- July 4, 2027
The morning begins at the water’s edge.
Mist drifts across the fjord as the mountains slowly emerge. You wake beneath soft linens, pull a Foxford blanket around your shoulders, and carry a warm cup of tea toward the window. There is nowhere else you need to be.
We meet the day with meditation, breath, Kripalu yoga, or gentle somatic movement. Some mornings are quiet. Others begin with music, reflection, and the sound of bird song before breakfast.
The afternoon opens into possibility
After a deeply nourishing meal, the landscape becomes part of the practice. We may walk the trails of Connemara National Park, visit Kylemore Abbey and its Victorian Walled Garden, glide across Killary Fjord in a sea kayak as evening light gathers, or follow the shoreline toward the wood-fired sauna.
Every adventure is an invitation, never a demand. There will always be space to choose rest, reading, journaling, a quiet corner of the lodge, or time in the garden. Your body is not an obstacle to the retreat. Your body is one of its wisest guides.
The evening brings us home
We return to candlelight and the scent of dinner being prepared. Around the table, the day becomes story. Later, we may soften into restorative yoga, gather for a song circle, share silence by the fire, or step outside to watch the last light move across the fjord.
The days are held with loving structure, yet never crowded. There is time to participate fully, and time to simply be.
Together, in an intimate circle, you will have space to:
Restore your nervous system through breath, meditation, gentle yoga, somatic practice, and guided deep rest.
Reconnect with your body as a source of wisdom, pleasure, boundaries, and belonging.
Explore the Lanterns of Sustenance, Navigation, and Companionship through reflective teaching, journaling, ritual, and honest conversation.
Experience Connemara through water, mountain, garden, music, story, and local culture.
Practice choosing what truly nourishes you, including the choice to rest while others adventure.
Be witnessed in a circle where you do not have to perform, explain, or hold everything together.
I loved the quiet mornings, gentle yoga, delicious food, day trips to the countryside, sharing circles, laughter and a few tears. Avantika created an atmosphere that was a gentle invitation to listen to oneself, share if you felt compelled to, and to witness others’ stories. I highly recommend this retreat.
Patty, Wild Soul Sister
Leave the retreat with...
A renewed capacity for delight, curiosity, and embodied courage.
Friendships rooted in honesty, tenderness, laughter, and shared experience.
A felt memory of who you are when you are not carrying everything alone.
This is more than a beautiful week away from home. It is a return to presence.
A private sanctuary where mountain, forest, and sea meet
Killary Lodge rests on the southern shore of Killary Fjord, often described as Ireland’s only true fjord, near the village of Leenane in the heart of Connemara. Set within a private 180-acre coastal landscape, the lodge looks toward the water and the mountains beyond, offering the rare feeling of being deeply removed while remaining beautifully cared for.
For the duration of our retreat, the lodge and its grounds will be exclusively ours. Ten individually designed en-suite bedrooms, generous gathering spaces, quiet reading corners, a private garden, and a light-filled and warm yoga studio create room for both sisterhood and solitude.
What Awaits You at Killary Lodge
The lodge is contemporary, clean, warm, and a reflection of its surroundings. Natural materials, handcrafted details, underfloor heating, luxurious mattresses and linens, Foxford blankets, and rainfall showers offer genuine comfort after a day in the Connemara air.
A light-filled studio for yoga, breathwork, workshops, song, and circle.
Ten individually designed bedrooms, all with en-suite bathrooms.
A welcoming living room and tucked-away reading nooks for quiet restoration.
A large private garden with mountain views, ancient native trees, and room to breathe.
Two fire-pit areas and covered outdoor seating for long evenings beneath the changing sky.
A sheltered shoreline swimming area and a wood-fired sauna just a short walk away.
Intentional internet connection
Fibre broadband throughout the lodge, available when needed, with encouragement to use technology intentionally.
Thoughtful accessibility
Killary Lodge includes ground-floor bedrooms, one fully wheelchair-accessible bedroom and bathroom, and a lift to the first floor. The grounds and excursion sites include natural terrain. We are committed to addressing your individual mobility needs and will support you long before you arrive.

Diamond Hill, with more than one way to meet the mountain
Connemara National Park offers several marked trails. Guests seeking an easy nature walk may choose one of the park’s shorter routes. The 3 km Lower Diamond Hill route is officially graded moderate. The 3.7 km Upper Diamond Hill summit route is graded strenuous and rewards prepared hikers with sweeping views of Kylemore Abbey, the Twelve Bens, and the surrounding Connemara landscape.
You will receive clear information about distance, terrain, weather, and required gear in advance. There is no hierarchy of courage here. The right trail is the one that honors your body.
Sunset kayaking on Killary Fjord
As the sun begins to drop behind the mountains, we will meet experienced local guides, step into double sea kayaks, and paddle along the shoreline of Killary Fjord. The light changes across water and stone as the landscape quiets around us. All necessary outer gear and buoyancy equipment are provided. Participation is always optional and subject to weather, water conditions, and guide approval.
Adventure, beauty, and choice
Connemara invites us into direct relationship with the elements. Water wakes the senses. Mountains reveal our strength. Gardens restore wonder. Fire and heat help the body soften. Our excursions are woven into the retreat as embodied experiences, not boxes to check.
Kylemore Abbey and the Victorian Walled Garden
We will spend time at Kylemore Abbey, where story, architecture, spirituality, and landscape meet. Wander the restored rooms of the Abbey, the Neo-Gothic Church, woodland and lakeshore paths, and the six-acre Victorian Walled Garden, with its formal flowers, herbs, vegetables, and beautifully restored garden buildings.
Wood-fired sauna and sheltered Atlantic water
A short walk from the lodge, a Scandinavian-style wood-fired sauna rests at the water’s edge. We will have reserved sauna times to warm, rest, and take in uninterrupted views of the mountain, Mweelrea. Those who wish may cool off in the sheltered waters of the fjord. Those who prefer to stay warm may simply sit, breathe, and let the landscape do its work.
Your week at a glance
Our days will be guided by rhythm, not rigidity. The sequence below offers the feeling of the week without promising a fixed itinerary.
Day one
Arrival & Threshold
Cross the threshold into retreat life. Settle into the lodge, meet the circle, share our first meal, and begin with a gentle welcome ritual.
Day two
The Body as Home
Slow the pace through grounding, breath, Kripalu yoga, somatic listening, and time to arrive fully in your own body.
day three
Water and Wonder
Meet the living waters of Killary Fjord through shoreline practice, reflection, and our planned sunset sea-kayaking experience.
day four
Beauty, Story, and Sustenance
Visit Kylemore Abbey and its Victorian Walled Garden, allowing beauty, history, and cultivated care to deepen our exploration of nourishment.
day five
The Mountain and Inner Navigation
Choose the trail that is right for you in Connemara National Park, then return for restoration, reflection, and integration.
day six
The Sacred Pause
A spacious day for sauna, rest, optional treatments, writing, quiet companionship, and listening for what is emerging.
day seven
Fire of the Sisterhood
Gather what the week has given you through song, movement, ritual, laughter, and a closing celebration of the light we carry together.
day eight
Returning Whole
Share a final breakfast and closing practice, then begin the journey home carrying the land, the practices, and the sisterhood within you. Afterglow option is available for those who wish to extend their stay. See below for more details.
I believe this retreat will resonate with any woman who longs to come home to herself, to feel more grounded, more alive, and more fully, unapologetically herself.
Alison, Wild Soul Sister
Food that feels like care
At Wild Soul Sisterhood, nourishment is not an afterthought. It is one of the ways we say: you are welcome here, your body matters, and you do not need to earn your place at the table.
We are delighted to welcome back Eileen of Morish Good Food to nourish our 2027 circle. Her cooking is sumptuous, generous, vibrant, and deeply rooted in hospitality. Meals will be prepared with fresh, seasonal ingredients and served with the kind of warmth that turns a table into a gathering place.
Quiet mornings begin with warm, grounding choices, fresh fruit, breads, protein, and plenty of tea. Midday meals will be colorful and sustaining. Evenings will invite us to slow down over abundant shared dishes, good conversation, and something sweet and delightful to finish.
We will thoughtfully accommodate dietary needs, including vegetarian, gluten-free, and dairy-free requests. Registration includes a detailed dietary form so the retreat team can understand your needs in advance.
Each meal is part of the retreat: sustenance, pleasure, companionship, and a daily return to the body.
Meet Your Retreat Guide
My name is Avantika, and I am not only your retreat guide. I am a fellow traveler on the path of coming home to myself.
I have moved through illness and uncertainty, grief and profound change. These experiences taught me to listen differently: to the wisdom of the body, the quieter truths beneath fear, and the sacred ordinary moments that help us find our way back.
Ireland is one of the places where I remembered. Her mist, music, stone, water, and wild beauty returned something essential to me. I have come back again and again, slowly building relationships with the land and with the people who help make these retreats feel deeply held.
For more than two decades, I have supported others in coming home to themselves. My work brings together nervous system care, mindfulness, somatic listening, ritual, story, and the belief that presence itself can be transformative.
If you are reading this, perhaps you feel the quiet knowing too. The longing to pause. To be nourished. To reclaim your own inner guidance. To remember that you do not have to walk alone. It would be my deepest honor to welcome you to Connemara and walk beside you for this beautiful week.

Omana eve
Breathwork Guide
Intuitive Coach
I’m Omana, an intuitive coach and breathwork guide from New Zealand. I’m a lover of natural living, soulful growth, connection, and community. Eight years ago, I was navigating profound burnout. I felt depleted and disconnected from myself, even as my background in naturopathy gave me tools to care for my body. Discovering breathwork helped me find my way back. A daily breath practice became a source of energy, steadiness, and joy. It also taught me to slow down and tend to my own needs with greater care. That experience changed how I live and how I support others. I feel called to accompany women who are feeling depleted, uncertain, or far from themselves. At the retreat, I’ll guide breathwork with warmth and intention, offering space to listen inward, reconnect with what matters, and experience the strength that can come from breathing together.
Korinne Gallant
Retreat Assistant
Photographer
I’m Korinne, though most people call me Kori. I’m a photographer and graphic designer from New England, and I’m grateful to accompany and care for you during our week in Connemara. I hope to help make space for the connection, laughter, reflection, and rest that a retreat can hold. Through my creative work, I spend much of my time noticing light, details, and the stories an image can tell. Motherhood has taught me another way of seeing: slowing down, staying curious, and finding sweetness in moments I could never have planned. I also find joy in art, movement, meditation, yoga, and being outdoors. The women who have guided, supported, and lifted me have been among the greatest gifts of my life. It means a great deal to offer that care in return. I look forward to meeting you, capturing moments from our time together, and helping you feel at home throughout the week.
EILEEN MCKEOWN
Retreat Chef
Owner of Moreish Good Food
I’m Eileen, the chef and owner of Moreish Good Food. I grew up in Mexico and now live in the village of Moy in County Tyrone with my three children and my wonderfully patient husband. The cultures and cuisines that have shaped my life find their way into my cooking, often through generous colour, texture, and flavour. I’ve always loved how food can make someone feel welcomed, cared for, and at home. Cooking is my favourite way to pass that feeling on. As a qualified chef, I take joy in planning meals thoughtfully and preparing them with care, from the first breakfast of the day to the conversations that linger around the dinner table. During our week together, I hope each meal gives you a chance to pause, enjoy what’s in front of you, and feel thoroughly nourished.
Karen Nulty
Somatic Exercise Coach
Holistic Health Practitioner
I’m Karen, a somatic exercise coach and holistic health practitioner based in Ireland. Through my practice, Awakening Wellbeing, I help people slow down, reconnect with their bodies, and find greater ease in everyday life. During our week in Connemara, I’ll guide gentle group somatic movement classes. We’ll explore simple, conscious movements that can help you notice and release tension, move more comfortably, and feel more at home in your body. There is no need to arrive with experience or a particular level of fitness. You are welcome exactly as you are. I’ll also offer private Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy and Biokinesiology sessions for those who would like individual care during the retreat. Whether we meet in a group class or one-to-one, my hope is to offer a grounded, compassionate space where you can rest, listen to your body, and receive the support you need.
I believe this retreat will resonate with any woman who longs to come home to herself, to feel more grounded, more alive, and more fully, unapologetically herself.
Alison
Avantika created an atmosphere that was a gentle invitation to listen to oneself, share if you felt compelled to, and to witness others’ stories.
Patty
I found a sisterhood and connection with a group of women with whom I shared my innermost thoughts and fears. I gained insights about myself, but more importantly, I gained friends.

The Afterglow extension to Killarney National Park
The Afterglow
For those who are not quite ready to leave, the Afterglow offers two more nights to rest, celebrate, and let Ireland remain with you a little longer.
July 4–6, 2027 | Aghadoe Heights, County Kerry
The road turns south from Connemara, carrying a small circle of women into the mountains, lakes, and long summer light of County Kerry.
For two more nights, the retreat gently continues at Aghadoe Heights, a five-star hotel overlooking the Lakes of Killarney and MacGillycuddy’s Reeks. Here, there is time to linger over beautiful meals, rest deeply, and let the experiences of the week settle into the body.
This is not another retreat. It is the afterglow.
A slow arrival
After leaving Killary Lodge, the journey continues through the changing Irish landscape toward Killarney. Settle into the quiet luxury of Aghadoe Heights, breathe in the mountain air, and watch the evening light move across the lake.
The first evening offers space to arrive, celebrate, and simply enjoy being together a little longer.
Before the day awakens
Early the following morning, the circle enters the Gap of Dunloe before the roads become busy and while the mountains are still wrapped in soft morning light.
With Kori behind the camera, this becomes more than a photography session. It is an opportunity to see yourself within the wild beauty of Ireland, surrounded by ancient mountains, still water, and the women who have shared the journey beside you.
A traditional carriage ride in the afternoon carries the group deeper into the landscape, accompanied by the sound of horses’ hooves and stories of the valley. The afternoon unfolds slowly, with time to rest, wander, enjoy the hotel, or visit the world-class spa before gathering for a final evening together.
One last table and lasting keepsake
As sunset settles over the Lakes of Killarney, the circle gathers in the Lake Room for a beautiful closing dinner shaped by seasonal Irish ingredients, conversation, and the warmth of companionship. Nothing needs to be rushed.
There is time to remember what has been discovered, to name what will be carried home, and to savor one final evening in Ireland together.
The photographs created during the Afterglow will become a tangible remembrance of the journey, capturing not only the landscape, but the laughter, tenderness, courage, and connection shared along the way.
Investment and room options
Your Afterglow investment includes transportation from Killary Lodge, two nights' accommodation, the listed meals and experiences, a photography keepsake, and transportation to Shannon Airport on July 6th, 2027. It is priced separately from the seven-night Connemara retreat.

Questions you may have
You are wholeheartedly welcome. Many Wild Soul Sisterhood guests arrive on their own. The retreat is intentionally structured to help connection unfold naturally, without forced intimacy or pressure to share more than feels right. You do not need to know anyone before you come. You only need to arrive as you are.
Killary Lodge is approximately 1.5 hours from Knock Airport, 2.5 hours from Shannon Airport, and 3.5 hours from Dublin Airport by road. To use the included group transfer, you will need to fly into the Shannon Airport. Group transfer will leave the Shannon Airport at 7:30AM on Sunday, June 27th, 2027.
No. This retreat is not about performance. It is about presence. Practices are offered with clear guidance, choice, and modifications. Our outdoor experiences include different levels of challenge, and you may always choose a gentler route or a restorative alternative.
Connemara National Park officially grades the 3 km Lower Diamond Hill route as moderate and the 3.7 km Upper Diamond Hill summit route as strenuous. The park also offers shorter easy trails. We will provide route details, terrain, weather guidance, and required gear in advance so you can make an informed choice.
Please contact us before registering so we can understand how we can best support your retreat experience. Killary Lodge includes ground-floor rooms, one fully wheelchair-accessible bedroom and bathroom, and a lift to the first floor. Outdoor areas and excursions include natural, sometimes uneven terrain. You may opt out of any activity without explanation or shame, and we will offer nourishing ways to remain connected to the retreat.
The experience is guided by trained local instructors and uses double sea kayaks. Necessary outer gear and buoyancy equipment are provided. Participation depends on weather, water conditions, and the guide’s safety assessment. If you prefer not to kayak, you will be offered another way to meet the evening with presence and beauty.
Registration includes a detailed dietary form. We can thoughtfully accommodate many common needs, including vegetarian, gluten-free, and dairy-free requests. If you have significant allergies, multiple restrictions, or a medically complex diet, please contact us before registering so we can confirm what can be supported safely.
Yes. Fibre broadband is available throughout Killary Lodge. We will invite intentional technology use so you can be fully present, but you will be able to connect when needed. Mobile service may vary in rural Connemara.
Killary Lodge has ten individually designed en-suite bedrooms with luxury mattresses, linens, Foxford blankets, and private bathrooms. Depending on your selected tier, you may share a dormitory-style room, share a double-occupancy room, or stay in a private room. Some shared-room beds may be reached by stairs or a ladder. Please tell us about mobility needs during registration.
Yes. Comprehensive travel insurance is required for every participant. We love working with Wanderwell Travel Insurance Company. Your policy should address trip cancellation and interruption, medical care abroad, emergency evacuation, travel delays, and lost or delayed baggage. Proof of coverage must be uploaded by the stated deadline.
Yes. You may choose payment in full or an installment plan during registration. A non-refundable $750 deposit secures your place. The remaining balance must be completed according to the selected schedule before the retreat begins.
Your $750 deposit is non-refundable. The complete 2027 cancellation and transfer policy will be displayed clearly during registration. Because the retreat depends on advance commitments to the lodge, caterer, transport, and local partners, comprehensive travel insurance is required to protect your investment.
Yes. Many guests choose to arrive early or remain in Ireland after the retreat. We are happy to share suggestions for places to rest and explore, but additional lodging, transportation, and itinerary planning remain the participant’s responsibility.
No. Wild Soul Sisterhood is a wellness, educational, and coaching retreat. Although Avantika is a licensed psychotherapist, participation does not create a therapist-client relationship, and the retreat is not a substitute for mental health treatment, medical care, or crisis support.
Cancellation Policy
We understand that life can shift in unexpected ways, and we hold both your dreams and your reality with care. A $750 deposit is required at the time of registration to secure your place in the Wild Soul Sisterhood Retreat.
If you need to cancel your participation:
-
If you cancel before December 27, 2026, your $750 deposit remains nonrefundable, and any additional payments you have made will be refunded.
-
If you cancel from December 27 through April 27, 2027, we will retain 50% of the total retreat price, including your nonrefundable $750 deposit. Any payments above that amount will be refunded.
-
Cancellations made after Tuesday, April 27, 2027, will result in a complete forfeiture of all funds.
We lovingly reserve the right to cancel the retreat if the minimum number of participants is not met. In such a rare case, your full deposit and any payments will be refunded in full.
We require you to purchase travel insurance to protect your investment.
You may explore options, including Wanderwell, which offers customizable policies that include trip interruption, cancellation, and medical coverage.
Your registration is more than a payment, it is a sacred commitment to your healing journey, and to the sisterhood that will gather in wild, beautiful presence.
