We gather from 9:30am for a welcome drink and chat before moving into our meditation and yoga practice at 10am to awaken our senses of touch, hearing and seeing. Brunch follows with a full vegetarian menu catering to our sense of taste and smell. The day is centred around exploring with each of our senses and nurturing ourselves through these connection. There is a curiosity with the day as we journey what it is to be well within ourselves when life can feel overwhelming.

This is a day away when we take time out and allow ourselves to drop can feel like a week-long holiday. We come together to connect, share, breathe and enjoy time in a stunning place surrounded by beautiful people.

As a way of ending our day, we will come into our yin practice before closing with a sumptuous meal crafted by Tanya.

All are welcome to join us on this mid-week day retreat connecting us to the elements and our senses.

A few words from our guests…

“There are no words to describe the experience of my first yoga retreat with Aoife.

Everything was so well put together- from the stunning venue, to the amazing food.

The whole day was a sensory experience, opening myself up to new ways of just being. As always the yoga was amazing but there were so many other elements to make this a truly unique experience.”

“I’m so glad I did the the retreat on Wednesday. It was a really special venue and day and I felt emotional too when you came in to start the day. I have been working flat out since May and needed an all body experience and got that on the day.

I really enjoyed the retreat the food and music was fabulous and everything was so well planned. Very professional and a great experience with lovely like minded people. After the day I felt rejuvenated and relaxed. And I have been telling all my clients all about it.”

Aoife, what a beautiful experience I had on our retreat day in Juniper Barn.The calming, positive space where you guided our minds & hearts to a restorative place where we were able to read just and be at total peace. It is great to shut out the busyness and enjoy being ourselves in nature & in that positive environment. You have an amazing gift.

Thank you to Tanya & her helpers who nourished our senses with such great food. It awakened all our pleasures in food, taste, smell, and enjoyment in partaking with others the glorious feeling of been pampered.She is without doubt my favourite chef and we are blessed to share her fabulous food.

To Niamh who added such serenity to our Yin practice. Her Harp danced in her fingers and relaxed us into another sphere.

Thank you Aoife for your hard,thoughtful and caring work that produced such an amazing day that will last long in our memories. Your work and coordination of so many gifted people and your willingness to share your gifts with us all is a quality seldom seen but greatly admired. We are lucky & blessed to have you in our lives. Thank you my friend.

Thank you so much for the most beautiful, nourishing day at Juniper Barn. Everything from the opening ceremony, the yoga, the delicious food, the touching drumming session in the tree circle, the time in nature, and the truly soul-soothing harp from Niamh felt so special. The mix of wind, sunshine, and laughter made it even more magical.

It was a gift to be part of such a heartfelt gathering, and I so appreciate the care and love you poured into every detail.
