🎃 Samhain Overnight Retreat Fri 30th - Sat 31st October

Come join Aoife Murphy (@empoweredbyaoife) & Gina Lynegaard (@bodymind_with_gina) this Samhain season for a deeply grounding and restorative retreat at Powerscourt Springs. As the veil thins and the seasons shift, you’re invited to slow down, turn inward, and reconnect with yourself in a meaningful and nourishing way 🖤🍂

Together, we’ll honour this powerful Celtic festival; a time of release, reflection, and renewal through gentle movement, stillness, and ritual. This retreat offers space to let go of what no longer serves you and create an opportunity for rest, clarity, and intention as we move into the darker half of the year ✨

Over your stay, you’ll experience a balance of energising and restorative practices, wholesome meals, and time to unwind in the spa and surrounding nature. Evenings carry a special Samhain energy, with candlelight, fire, and moments of quiet connection.

We can’t wait to share this special Samhain experience with you 🔥🌑✨

Please note that we will be sharing a ceremonial level of cacao prepared with oat milk & honey. If you are allergic to anything please let me know.  Additionally, If you are taking MAOIs, pregnant or breastfeeding or have a heart condition please let us know in advance so we can adjust your amount of Cacao.

Things to avoid

[Day before]:

• Alcohol if possible because it's dehydrating, strains the liver, and dulls cognition. Staying clear helps your body fully absorb the cacao and keeps the third eye and crown chakras open for a deeper journey

[Day of]: 

• Caffeine as it may be over-stimulating and affect your connection to the Cacao. 

• Dairy in the hours before as it prevents the stomach lining from absorbing the Cacao. 

• Big meals - only a light lunch is recommended.

This is a 5 week cancellation policy.
