Many years ago, after completing my degree and before stepping into professional practice, I took part in a 10-day vision fast in Australia.
It was held by deeply skilled facilitators who guided us in nature with care, integrity, and respect. That experience offered insight, reflection, self-compassion, and connection in a way that stayed with me long after it ended.
Now, years later, I find myself preparing to hold retreat spaces of my own, this time on Irish land, which feels especially meaningful.
With trauma-informed training and over a decade of ethical psychotherapy practice, my intention is to offer a safe, contained space where people can step out of the busyness of everyday life, turn gently inward, and allow nature to reflect what they need.
These retreats are not about sharing trauma. They are about being in the presence of others who value depth, safety, and something more, a coming home to yourself.
Using time in nature, guided facilitation, ceremony, and ritual, the focus is on nourishment, nervous-system regulation, and reconnecting with inner resources.
The image above was created for a special group facilitation and reflects the kind of space I hold, intentional, respectful, and carefully grounded.
Quietly letting this vision unfold and seeing what Misneach Retreats 2026 brings for us all
Misneach means Courage, Courage to push forward through uncertainty ☘️
