BALANCING STRENGTH AND EASE - AUTUMN RETREAT
October 9th-11th , Cathardaniel, Kerry 2026
Step into Autumn with a weekend that aims to provide inspirational practices, space for stillness and reflection in nature. Join us (Carmel & Kathryn) for our retreat of Balancing Strength and Ease. An Autumn Reset as we wind down towards the years end with a chance to reconnect and reset, gently transitioning into Winter. Blending dynamic practices, meditation, breathwork, yin and somatic yoga to cultivate that balance of Sthira & Sukha - Strength & Ease.
Our venue is in the heart of beautiful Kerry on the edge of the Atlantic - a hidden gem tucked away in the Iveragh Peninsula near Caherdaniel and Derrynane . Just two hours from Cork city and right in the heart of mountains alongside the Atlantic ocean. We are offering you a mini escape away from the city and quieten our busy minds. The property has beautiful deluxe bedrooms (ensuite) - quiet yoga space for our practices, outdoor hottub, nourishing meals, swimming and the calm of being in nature.
Fresh mountain air - Strong & Soft Practices - Nourishing nature to reset your inner energy.
Through conscious movement, breath work, and meditation, we will explore the balance between strength and ease, creating a sense of harmony and grace in our bodies and minds. In the mornings Kathryn will open with a dynamic practice in the mornings followed by meditation and Carmel will offer our late afternoon soft somatic yin practice. Afterwards we sit down together and enjoy a sangria, some home cooked food and option to go for a wander , jacuzzi or simply chill.
