💛 A Personal Invitation from Me

I’m truly passionate about helping women find ease, release, and a deep sense of connection through yoga, mindfulness, breathwork, and meditation. Life can be overwhelming, and I believe that taking time to pause, breathe, and move with intention is one of the greatest gifts we can give ourselves.

Hosting this retreat at Lough Mardal Lodge is a dream come true, and I cannot wait to welcome you for this special weekend of rest, renewal, and self-discovery. Whether you're looking for physical relief, emotional balance, or just time to reconnect with yourself, you will be held and supported every step of the way.

Where you'll sleep

You’ll be staying in a beautiful, spacious Skydome Yurt, shared with 2 or 3 other women. These magical yurts are tucked away across 90 acres of untouched Donegal bogland, giving you a real sense of seclusion and stillness. You’ll drift off under the stars, cocooned in cosy comfort, and wake up to peaceful views of the lake and wild landscape all around you.

Each yurt is fully insulated and lovingly furnished with single beds, a wood-burning stove, crisp white linen, sheepskins, and Donegal wool blankets—everything you need for warmth, comfort, and a great night’s sleep.

What do I need to bring?

What to Bring
First and foremost—Come as you are, with no expectations — just a willingness to be. 💛

Think of this weekend as time to unplug and settle into nature’s rhythm, which means dressing for whatever she might throw at us! Donegal’s weather likes to keep things interesting, so pack with flexibility in mind: cosy jumpers, a sturdy jacket, waterproof layers, and comfy footwear for wandering. Soft clothes for lounging and something snug for evenings by the fire will feel like a treat.

If dipping into the lake sounds like your kind of thrill, bring along swimwear and a towel. A pair of warm slippers or indoor shoes will make you feel right at home in the lodge.

For our practices, you’re welcome to bring your own yoga mat and any little comforts that make journaling special — a notebook you love, colourful pens, or whatever invites reflection.

Don’t worry about remembering it all — I’ll share a full list before we go. You’ll be well wrapped, well supported, and more than ready to settle in and soak it all up.

About the Venue

Lough Mardal Lodge is a true escape into nature. Set in the heart of a protected bogland and designed with sustainability at its core, this is a place where you can fully unplug and unwind.

The heart of the retreat is the beautiful communal lodge, home to the light-filled Reciprocal Room—a stunning, gadget-free sanctuary with panoramic views across the lake, forest, and distant mountains. There are no TVs, no scrolling, just time to sit, breathe, and let your shoulders drop as your busy mind begins to settle.

This is a space to come back to yourself, surrounded by raw beauty, simplicity, and peace.

What to Expect on Your Journey to the Heart?

When you arrive at Lough Mardal Lodge on Friday afternoon, you’ll immediately feel the transition from your daily life to a weekend of deep rest and renewal. The pace will slow, and you’ll be welcomed into a space designed for calm and connection.

We’ll begin with a Heart-Centred Welcome, where you’ll have time to settle in, set your intentions, and connect with the group. After a nourishing dinner, we’ll gather for a calming evening yoga practice to help you release any tension and step into the weekend with ease.

Saturday will offer a gentle balance of practices designed to nurture both body and mind. We’ll enjoy yoga, mindful breathwork, journaling, and moments of stillness in nature. Each activity will invite you to reconnect with your inner peace, and there will be plenty of space for personal reflection.

On Sunday, we’ll experience a walking meditation through the stunning surroundings, offering a quiet opportunity to absorb all that we’ve experienced and reflect on the weekend. We’ll close with a Circle of Gratitude, a chance to honour our time together, share insights, and leave feeling grounded and centred.

Throughout the retreat, you’ll enjoy nourishing food, plenty of quiet time, and the opportunity to simply be. The weekend is about giving yourself permission to pause, let go of stress, and find a sense of clarity and calm.
