IRELAND

Summer Solstice Yoga & Nature Retreat

with Jenn Wooten & Laura Forsyth

June 18-24, 2027

RESERVATIONS NOW OPEN

Join Jenn and Laura for a special Summer Solstice retreat to enchanting Ireland!

Tucked on the edge of Wicklow National Park, and just an hours from Dublin, our retreat property offers a rare blend of refined comfort and untamed Irish landscape. 

Surrounded by forested hills, glacial valleys, and stone-lined paths that have been walked for centuries, you are invited to explore this incredible landscape during a time  when days are at their longest and the land feels especially expansive and alive.

Enjoy daily yoga practices, nourishing meals, guided hikes, sauna and cold plunge rituals, storytelling, music and more.  With local guides, we’ll learn about the region, folklore and perhaps even make our own botanical teas and cocktails!

Space is very limited, please regisiter early.

 

Vacation Details

Often called “The Garden of Ireland,” Wicklow National Park is a vast protected landscape of rolling mountains, heather moorlands, ancient oak and pine forests, rivers, waterfalls, and glacial lakes. The ecosystem here supports red deer, peregrine falcons, pine martens, and a wide variety of native plant life shaped by centuries of low-impact land use.

Nearby Glendalough, the “Valley of Two Lakes” is one of Ireland’s most sacred and visually striking places. Home to a 6th-century monastic settlement, the valley carries a profound sense of stillness and history. Stone ruins, mirror-like lakes, and winding trails make this an unforgettable place for contemplative walking and reflection.

This is the backdrop for our retreat together.

Our retreat property is situated on 6 acres and was built as a sustainable luxury center surrounded by traditional sheep farms, the rolling hills of the Wicklow National Park and the Inchavore river.  We will be just a short walk to the village of Laragh, offering a glimpse into rural Irish life, with small cafés, local shops, and a welcoming, unhurried pace. It serves as a gentle gateway between modern life and the wild interior of the park.

Lodging will be in several luxury cottages designed and built sustainably and to take advantage of the incredible mountain views.  Each cottage has 3 bedrooms / 3 bathrooms, a living space, kitchen, outdoor space and private hot tub.  Our  property also offers use of saunas and cold plunge, fire pit, cozy community gathering spaces and a spectacular fully stocked yoga shala for our daily classes.
