ACCOMMODATION & THE AREA

We will be staying in a beautiful Airbnb Farmhouse ‘Glenhaven” which is nestled in Glenariffe Glen and is surrounded by mountains and fields. The house is only a few min's drive (about 10 mins walk) from Waterfoot Beach, a long sandy beach, and also a few min's drive to the famous Glenariffe Forest Park so the natural landscape will be a beautiful backdrop for a weekend of relaxing, healing, self-development and self-care.

Rooms are modern and have fresh decor and all have ensuite bathrooms. There is another larger shared bathroom, an open-plan kitchen, and a comfortable living room which will also be shared.

We will have use of a converted Barn aka 'The Sanctuary Barn' on site for all classes and workshops as well as a large garden with mountain views and a fire pit with a comfortable seating area.

Host, Workshop Facilitator and Resident Musician

Hi, I’m Amanda,

your Life Coach & Reiki Healer

Amanda is a certified Teacher, Life Coach & Reiki Healer (as well as a Professional Singer-Songwriter) with over 15 years of experience leading workshops and 1:1 coaching on all areas of mindset, personal development, and music. She is a recent sea swimming addict (one benefit of lockdown) and Glenariffe is her home. She is passionate about promoting positive mental health and well-being as well in her local area thus she came up with the idea of running mind/body/soul events to build a community of like-minded people and offer this type of healing, connection, and empowerment in the natural beauty of The Glen's of Antrim.

Yoga Instructor

Hi, I’m Eimear O'Brien (Tula Yoga),

your Yoga Teacher.

Eimear is a fully qualified Yoga teacher and retreat leader who has been teaching Yoga for over 6 years after studying in Ireland, India and Spain. She loves that there are so many elements to Yoga, from simply becoming more aware of your breath and gentle movement to the more challenging asanas, meditation and pranayama.

On the retreat Eimear will be leading us in Yoga Nidra in the Sanctuary Barn as well as a gentle Vinyasa style flow on the beach at sunrise. Her classes are relaxed, playful and uplifting with a focus on nature, compassion and self love.
