SPECIFIC ITINERARY
Day 1
meet in Dublin
Our first day in Dublin is created for journeyers to arrive at the hotel, have a stroll around Dublin and come together for our first dinner in Ireland to begin our journey.
Day 2
Hill of Tara
The first stop on our tour will be the iconic Hill of Tara, called the Seat of the High Kings of Ireland. The Hill of Tara has long been understood to hold an important place in Irish history and culture as the inauguration place of kings. We will visit the Lia Fail, or Stone of Destiny, and each have the opportunity to step forward and speak into the truth that is coming forward to lead us in our lives. Legends says this coronation stone would roar out when touched by a true King of Ireland. Here we will each be witnessed as we connect to the intuitive guidances of our heart.
Day 3
Loughcrew Megalithic Cairns
Today we travel to Loughcrew Megalithic Cairns, the oldest Neolithic structure in all of Ireland. Here we will be connecting to the energies of star consciousness as we further delve into the opening of our own intuitive dialogue and how it has been shaped by our past to inform how we allow it to interact with our future.
Day 4
Oweynagyat Cave, "Cave of the Cats"
or Ireland's Gate to the Underworld
This small unassuming cave entrance boasts an impressively large underground expanse, with legend telling that it is the cave from which the Morrigan would emerge in her chariot on Samhain to bring the harshness of winter to the land. This cave was also believed to be an entrance to the underworld, as were most caves of legend. Here we will gaze into the opening to our own underworld, our unconscious, and hold that which is ready to come to the surface to support and initiate the further unfolding of our journey. Just inside the entrance is an ancient Ogham inscription, still visible today.

Day 5
Newgrange and Knowth
Newgrange Passage Chamber is thought to be older than the Pyramids of Giza and Stonehenge, and holds within it a deep importance of our relationship with Mother Earth, and a profound understanding of astronomical events. Every year, on the morning of the winter solstice and the few days surrounding it, sunlight floods down the chamber's narrow passageway, coming in through a perfectly aligned window box above the entrance, and illuminates the inner chamber in a spectacular display. We will go within and witness a reproduction of the illumination of the inner chamber, first experiencing the plunge into total darkness before the return of the light.
Knowth is a vast complex of structures, and contains the largest collection of Neolithic artwork in all of Europe. Here is a video by Urbanist on YouTube to check it out.
Day 6-8
Púca Festival
Over these three days we will be celebrating of the Púca Festival, held every year in Trim and Athboy, County Meath. We will get to experience storytellers, musicians, and performers as these towns come alive to honor their ancestors and the turning of the wheel. With electric energy and sensational food, Samhain, the Celtic New Year, is an unmissable experience!
From their website: "A Púca is a legendary creature known for its ability to shapeshift into various forms, often appearing as a horse, goat or dark shadowy figure. Mischievous yet wise, the Púca can bring both blessings and tricks, embodying the mystical energy that defines Halloween in Irish folklore." Photos are also from their website.
Our last full day together, we will be connecting to the element of air as we stand in the whipping winds high over the crashing waves of the Atlantic Ocean below us. This will be a day of receiving integration of our journey, healed and nourished by the iconic Brigid's Well nearby, visiting the ocean's waters, as well as making a stop at my favorite rock shop in all of Ireland for one last cuppa and scone... or stone. :)
Day 9
Glendalough
From here we will hike from the monastic ruins to the Upper Lake and Waterfall, holding a ceremony above the lake to connect to the sacred waters of this powerful land. There will be time to reflect.
Dinner will be provided at the delicious Wicklow Heather.
Day 10
see you later, Dublin!
Today we return to Dublin Airport, where our journey together began. It is here we will say our See You Laters after this amazing journey of connection and courage.
