WILD HEART

20-23 August 2026
Yoga Barn - Co. Kilkenny

Women's Retreat

Next Wild Heart Women's Retreat in the Yoga Barn : 20-23 August 2026 (Thu - Sun). 

​

WILD HEART : 

​

An invitation to enter the realm of the heart through the spirit of community, embodiment and connection.  

 

We will gather for the weekend in an intimate setting of maximum 10 women.

 

Together we will step into the wisdom of our bodies, connecting with our emotions and creating a space of trust & safety where we can show up authentically, rest, connect with ourselves and each other, dance, sing and cherish some alone time in nature. In Old English wilde means "in the natural state"  - this retreat is an invitation to connect to our truth, our inherent nature. 

 

Throughout the weekend, we will awaken our wild hearts through embodied & polyvagal-informed yoga, dance, voice work & singing, creative expression & community connection, nature, deep rest, sauna, cold dip and plenty of opportunities to share and integrate. 

 

THE SPACE

The retreat will be held in The Yoga Barn, Kilkenny. 

​

The Yoga Barn is a restored ‘clochán’ or Irish stone village, surrounded by green fields, trees, and big skies. Hidden away in the lush Kilkenny countryside, though only 20 minutes from Waterford City, the Yoga Barn breathes peace, calm, and tranquility.

“Within every woman there is a wild and natural creature, a powerful force, filled with good instincts, passionate creativity, and ageless knowing.’

​

– Clarissa Pinkola Estes –

"Women Who Run with the Wolves"
