The Roaming Sisterhood Presents
Ireland: A Women's Retreat into Story, Land & Sisterhood
Six days at a historic Irish estate, where myth, movement, and wild beauty create space to come home to yourself.
Talk it through first, or claim your room today. Both work.
There are places you visit. And there are places that change the way you see.
This is an invitation to the second kind.
Come with us to the wild west of Ireland, to a secluded manor surrounded by ancient trees, a lake, gardens and ruins, beneath the mountains and mythic landscapes of County Sligo.
For six days and five nights, we'll step outside the familiar and into a timeless, wilder way of being — because sometimes you have to leave your ordinary world to remember who you are inside it.
You're Craving Something Real
Not another wellness trend. A place where story, land and sisterhood actually change something.
This is Ireland beyond the postcard.
Sligo is a place where landscape and story seem to meet at every turn. Rising above the county is Knocknarea, crowned by the great cairn associated with Queen Maeve, the legendary warrior queen of Connacht.
Across the surrounding landscape are some of Ireland's most remarkable megalithic sites — monuments built thousands of years ago and still woven into the character of the land today. This is also Yeats country — mountains, lakes, folklore and imagination that shaped one of Ireland's most celebrated poets.
During our time here, we'll experience these places not simply as beautiful sights, but as landscapes carrying stories, memories and layers of Irish tradition.
Everything held, so you can simply arrive.

The rhythm of the days
Gentle movement to begin the day, grounded in the estate's gardens.
Mythology & storytelling with Brigit, Queen Maeve and the Cailleach · herbalism · fascia release & somatic work · nervous system practices.
Walking paths, the lake, row boats, castle ruins, garden and woodland — plus jewelry making, incense bundles and guided journaling.
Meditation and sound around the fire as the day settles.
Massage and one-to-one coaching, astrology or tarot readings.
"There's no such thing as bad weather — only the wrong clothing. Experiencing Ireland means experiencing Ireland as it actually is, rain included."
Two ways in. Neither is wrong.
Some women want to talk it through before they commit. Some already know. Pick whichever one sounds like you.

See Rooms + Reserve →Talk it through first
Fifteen minutes to figure out which room, which payment plan, and whether this actually fits your life. It isn't a sales pitch. If it isn't the right retreat for you, I'll tell you and point you toward the one that is.
Bring your questions about flights, timing, traveling solo, any of it.

Guided by two women who know this work
Heather
I guide women back to themselves through movement, breath, adventure, and real connection. After years leading retreats and supporting women through burnout and big life transitions, I know transformation doesn't happen when you push harder — it happens when you finally feel safe enough to let go.
I'll hold the container so you don't have to hold it all.
Tosca
Tosca has called Ireland home since 2016, spending the past decade exploring, studying and working within the Irish landscape. Her background spans mythology, nutrition, herbalism, cultural astronomy and Qigong, and she is currently completing a Master's in Irish Mythology and Folklore at University College Cork.
Ten years of living, working and exploring Ireland as home — she'll be your guide into the stories, landscapes and ways of seeing that make this place extraordinary.

Frequently Asked Questions
No. If you already know this is yours, go straight to the rooms and reserve. The call is there for women who want to talk through rooms, payment plans, flights or timing before committing, not a gate you have to pass through. And booking your room doesn't mean you're on your own — message me any time after.
Ireland in September can be wonderfully unpredictable — and we're embracing that. Outdoor excursions are weather-dependent, but a little rain won't stop us. Bring layers, walking shoes, a waterproof jacket, and a sense of adventure. If plans change, Temple House offers plenty indoors: crafts, games, journaling, meditation and fireside time.
Not at all! Our sessions are a good fit for all levels, from complete beginners to experienced practitioners. We offer modifications for every pose, so everyone feels comfortable and supported on their mat.
Yes, and most women do. Retreats are designed to turn strangers into sisters fast. If you're coming solo and happy to share, the Shared Twin room puts you with another woman on the retreat.
We provide a shuttle from Dublin Airport on the day the retreat begins, with a stop along the way. We recommend flying in the evening before and staying at an airport hotel so you're rested and ready to begin the following morning.
Yes. We know an investment like this deserves flexibility, so every room can be paid over time. Payment plans are set up personally rather than at checkout — book a call or message me, and we'll build one around your timeline. There's a $100 setup fee that holds your room until the plan begins. Prefer to keep it simple? You can pay in full at checkout in a couple of minutes.
Every room at Temple House is individually designed, so the booking page shows photos, bed setups and what's still available. If you want your own space, choose a Private Ensuite. If you're coming with a friend, the Bestie Deal puts you both in a convertible room at the lowest rate. Coming solo and happy to share, take the Shared Twin. Still torn? Book a call and we'll sort it in ten minutes.
We highly recommend purchasing travel insurance. This protects your investment if you need to cancel last-minute due to injury, illness, or an unexpected event — you can also add "cancel for any reason" coverage for a small additional cost. Due to the nature of the retreat and the costs we incur on your behalf, we're not able to offer refunds directly.
