Our retreat at Wild Atlantic Glamping offers a beautiful way for us to connect back to nature. From drifting off to sleep to the sound of the sea in beautiful bell tents or luxury pods to experiencing yoga, meditation, chanting, nourishing meals, sea swimming, pier jumps, kayaking, hiking, the local island Park Run and nature walks; all outdoors under the sun and stars, this 5 night retreat is one for all the senses celebrating the Summer Solstice under the stars and waking up to a new day dawning with a magical sunrises.
The Summer Solstice is an opportunity to honour the Divine Masculine energy of the light. A beautiful day in the year where we celebrate the long bright days and begin the welcoming back of the Divine Feminine dark.
Sleeping in luxurious bell tents with the sounds of water and nature lulling us to sleep and awakening us or resting back into the newly built pods with luxury beds and your own wc, this retreat is a feast for the senses. From fire ceremonies to standing stone rituals to participating in local activities on the island, it gifts us all the joy life has to offer. Whether you wish to escape the daily grind or simply reset, your system, this place does this and more.
We access the island via ferry on Thursday and arrival is from 3:30pm. Check out is at 11am on Tuesday or Monday if you are on our 4 night retreat.
Accommodations are the beautiful bell tents or stunning pods located at Wild Atlantic Glamping on the island and there are communal showers and toilets for your use over the days we are together. This is a 5 night or 4 night retreat to connect with your inner joy and embrace this stunning island on the South coast of the Wild Atlantic Way.
Each day will begin with meditation and dynamic yoga followed by brunch. The afternoons will encompass nature walks, kayaking, sea swimming, lounging on the land with a good book or rest back at your bell tent or pod. On evenings we will come together where there may be yin yoga, a fire ceremony, a ritual at the standing stones or a circle accompanied by a delicious dinner with a fire and the odd toasted marshmallow. Tuesday or Monday morning we complete with short yoga session and a delicious breakfast to get you on the road feeling nourished and relaxed for your drive home.
There is an opportunity for 121 Reiki & Shamanic sessions or Biodynamic Cranio-Sacral sessions with Aoife during the retreat. These must be booked in advance and are available on a first come first served basis.

“Congratulations on organising and delivering an amazingly run healing and rebalancing retreat on Bere Island. I’m so grateful that I booked with you and have reaped the benefits of feeling renewed mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually. You hold space so gently and strongly, I felt safe no matter what came up for me, I felt relaxed as your amazing organisational skills carried and executed a practical, empowering and great fun time together. Something shifted with your unique blend of teaching yoga,, connection to the land and shamanic ritual, specific to women I felt honoured and grateful to be a woman and also to witness so many wonderful women supporting and encouraging each other. Tanya’s meals were so beautiful to look at and even tasted even better. The meals were so interesting and exciting and represented food from all over the world. Mealtime was a highlight every day and brought great satisfaction, joy and comfort. I felt really cared for and nourished.”

“The whole experience was magical, between your phenomenal guidance, Tanya's delectable cooking and Catriona's luxurious glamping, all in such a beautiful setting.. Who could ask for anything more?”

“Aoife and Tanya have created something really special in this 5 night retreat on Bere island. I would describe the experience as a re-wilding of self and given the unique location and beautiful surrondings of wild atlantic glamping ( thank you Cathriona), I found it to bring about a much needed connection to the land, self and others, in a time where it's easy to feel disconnected. Aoife's ability to cultivate the conditions for this through her holding, movement and spiritual guidance, made it easy to find this place of reconnection. Tanya's culinary talent in finding the perfect nourishment to accompany us in the experience, truly added to the overall enjoyment, anybody would be lucky to sit at her table.
Not to forget the fun and laughter that was had, it is unique in all the right ways! Cant wait to come back again!”
