3 Night Residential Retreat
February 13th -16th 2026
Westcove Estate ,Castlecove ,Kerry
This retreat invites participants to express their devotion to those who came before them and honor the legacy of their ancestors. It’s an opportunity to acknowledge their influence on our lives and spiritual journeys .
Exploring Our Lineage
Participants will delve deeper into the previous generations ,going back 3 generations ,deep into their maternal and paternal lines, examining the blind loyalty and patterns inherited from their ancestors.
We explore where there may have been exclusion in our ancestral lineage and where we may have taken on this energy of exclusion in order to bring the family system back into balance.
- Bringing Resolution To Family Wounds and a Voice to the Ancestors
- Through discussions and practices, we explore the mother /father wound, reflecting on how these relationships shape our identities and interactions today.
- Birth Story Exploration: We will consider our gestation and conception experiences, understanding what we unconsciously carry forward into our relationships.
- Genogram Creation:Participants will build their own genograms, visual representations of their family trees that highlight relationships, patterns, and influences. This practice helps in recognizing familial connections and dynamics, illuminating pathways towards resolution and healing.
- Rebirthing Breathwork: Engage in breathwork sessions designed to foster inner connection, release emotional blocks, and promote personal insights.
- Family Constellations: Explore familial dynamics through the lens of the soul. This technique allows participants to uncover and address unconscious patterns that may influence their current lives.
We take the necessary steps towards taking in our mother and father in their divinity without their stories and the wounding we have experienced through them.
- Grief Ritual: A traditional practice of mourning and honoring ancestors through what ever way grief asked to come through be it expressive vocalization, tears , keening or dance helping to process grief and shame whilst celebrating heritage. For the women attending their will be a keening practice. This stunning ,raw and deeply sacred ceremony honours the grief within .(For the men attending, participating in this particular practice is optional )
- Shamanic Breath Journey: Experience a 9d guided session that connects participants with their deeper selves and the wisdom of their ancestry by communing with them in sacred breath ceremony.

Client Reviews
“Attending these retreats was the best thing we could have ever done to help ourselves & our marriage. Through breathwork we reached a level of intimacy that we didn’t think was ever possible.We met each other in the heart.Geraldine & Tomas are amazing humans who are so brilliant at what they do. The fact that they have been through so much and met you where you are at made it such a safe space especially for my husband who had never done this before. Very real & raw people with no bs. This definitely is something all couples should do at least once every year .”

“ Attending the retreat with my wife as a newbie was one of the most challenging and beneficial activities I've ever been through. The growth at a personal and relationship level is substantial over such a short period of time. Geraldine and Tomas have a no-nonsense and refreshingly honest approach to each phase of the retreat. This allows for an incredible psychological safety within the group. - This is needed as the steps along the way are very deep but hugely eye opening. The location is a true gem on the west coast of Ireland and you've a feeling of being on a dessert island. Will certainly be back to this brilliant location and team again. "

“I have received so much from these retreats . Not only is the location itself deeply re-calibrating but the facilitators are amazing humans. It is rare to attend something like this where you have a couple hosting that are so ordinary but extraordinary at the same time and are parents who have been through and are still on a difficult journey in their own life. Ya ,the weekend is challenging and confronting but extremely freeing. Through their work Ive learned to start living and accepting myself as I am.”
