Ireland
The Journey of the Mystic
September 22-October 1, 2025
Welcome to Ireland!
With a new earth emerging, the ancient wisdom of the Celts calls to many to help restore and reawaken our connection to the faerie realm. This connection is essential to furthering our evolution.
​
The age of separation is no longer a part of our story.
It's time you reclaim yourself as the living bridge between worlds.
Ireland, where the veils are notoriously thin, and the mountains and ancient wells in the Wicklow area that remain wild, is the ideal place for this journey.

Arrive in Dublin. Depart from Dublin
Receive in Brigid's Blessing
Your journey begins in Kildare where we'll visit the healing well of Brigid, and peer into her well, practicing the art of scrying.
​
What does she reveal to you?
​
We'll ask for her blessing on our journey through her magical lands of the Emerald Isle as we head to Ireland's ancient east, Wicklow, referred to as the Sacred Garden.
​​
Connect to Your Ancestors
Our ancestors, whether from our family lineage, or our lineage rooted in ancient wisdom, are just beyond the veil wanting to support us during this time of great change.
​
While wandering the trails that meander throughout the Wicklow Mountains, you'll feel their presence and hear their messages.
​
The veil that has separated our worlds is ever so thin as we reach the time when we are reclaiming and renewing our relationship with the faerie realm.
​

What You'll Receive
10-Day Mystical Journey
An immersion in nature, sacred landscape and sites that have held spiritual significance through out time.
Guided Self-Inquiry
Daily questions prompting you to explore and deepen your understanding of your most authentic self.
Course Curriculum
During our journey, I will offer teachings each morning on the Sacred Hallows and the Faerie Traditions while enjoying the forests of Wicklow. While visiting wells, we'll dive into the history of the
Well Maidens and their return to our modern-day world.
Grail Teachings
In terms of the Grail, Ireland is the root of all. It's a place where we deepen our roots, and nourish our soul as we connect with the great mother goddess.
Live Calls
I'll offer a pre-journey, live call and meditation to prepare you for the initiatory aspect of this journey. All calls are recorded for later listening.
Private WhatsApp Group
You'll be invited into our private WhatsApp group where I'll periodically share news, messages and gorgeous photos.
Our inner longing for love and abundance to be our core experience here on earth is the very essence of what we can learn from the Well Maidens.
True abundance isn't about worthiness or righteousness, but instead,
a continual flow of love that is the very fabric of life and the original intention
for earth and all her beings.
In Search of the Holy Wells
Wells have notoriously been a place of healing. Legends speak of the White Lady whose presence graces wells, springs and other holy waters.
Legends also speak of the Well Maidens who once tended the wells.
​
The Well Maidens are returning to the old wells as our feminine nature has been reclaimed and restored. Their stories teach us about true abundance - abundance that transcends limiting questions and beliefs regarding worthiness.
​
Through mountain and bog, we'll search for the old wells and awaken the field of grace and abundance within our own hearts.
Glendadough Monastery
Nestled in a glacier valley, overseen by the majestic mountains of Wicklow, is the Medieval monastery of Glendalough. This area was home to Saint Kevin during the early 600's AD. He was a mystic that lived in a cave perched on the side of the Wicklow mountains. He was known for having miraculous healing powers, and pilgrims would set out on foot in search of him.
​
Eventually, a community grew up around him and became what we know as the Glendalough Monastery.
​
Today, the monastery exudes a sense of peace and solitude, as its medieval, stone structures hold a prominent stature, so clearly protected by the surrounding mountains.
​
Oak trees that dominate the woodlands, line the trails that lead you to sparkling lakes, spectacular vistas, and time to commune with the faerie beings of Ireland.
Cultural Delights
The Woolen Mill
The oldest woolen mill in Ireland offers some of the finest woven blankets and scarves of heirloom quality. We'll take a day trip to the mill, as well as visit other shops that offer crafts unique to the local area of Wicklow.
Traditional Irish knit sweaters are found in local shops and woolen mills all across Ireland. And they are a treasure! Living in the northeast US, my Irish knits are my go to sweaters for winter warmth.
Traditional Aran sweaters were born out of the seafaring communities of the Aran Isles and is the ultimate symbol of the Irish Clan Heritage.
Irish Coffee & Fresh Fish Stew
Traveling through Ireland's western shores, we will be warmly greeted by the Irish in their local pubs where we'll find fresh fish and lamb stews. Later in the evening, as we retire to the cozy underground pub in our hotel, we'll warm our toes by a crackling fire as we sip a mug of hot Irish coffee.
Walking in what is believed to be some of the oldest footprints, we are anchored to both ourselves, the land, and the ancient Mother Goddess. Here we discover the incredible joy and safety in surrendering ourselves to the mother of the land.
Time for Renewal
Trails and forest walks that lead you into Otherworldly landscapes, such as Ballinstoe Woods.
​
Woodland paths lined with emerald green moss, meandering stone walls, and sacred groves formed from old trees that resemble ancient Druids.
​
As we wander these magical paths, we'll tune into the telluric energies of the land and the realm of the faeries that are the very fabric of nature.
Entering the Womb
Your final days of our magical journey through Ireland will be spent at the megalithic sites. The ancient tombs where the light of the sun travels down into the womb of the earth is a place of spiritual conception. Here, you'll be impregnated with the consciousness of light and gain both insight and inspiration for moving forward. We'll follow in the footsteps of the Celts and the Druids as we visit Loughcrew and the Hill of Tara, and descend into Morrigan's cave, an ancient site of initiation before returning to Dublin for our return flight home.
"The world is full of magic things, patiently waiting for our senses to grow sharper." --WB Yeats
Your Initiation
The Sidhe refer to the Faerie beings of Ireland that are descendants from the Tuatha de Danann. At one time, the faerie beings, also known as the Shining Ones, were spiritually advanced and gifted, living in a parallel realm to that of humanity. However, as unrest prevailed amongst the people of our earth, the Sidhe retreated to the hills, while humanity entered deeper into the age of separation.
​
As we begin to heal our world of separation, we are
guided to return to our intimate connection with the natural world. And here, we reclaim our relationship
with the Faerie beings.
​
During your time wandering the woods of the Emerald Isle, you'll learn different ways to receive in messages from the Fae who are the intelligences woven into the very
fabric of nature.
​
As we, personally, embark on our journey to healing the world of separation within our own hearts, reweaving the threads that tie us to the world of nature and the faerie realm is a necessary step in helping birth
the new earth into being.
The Venues
Comfort awaits our return from our days out exploring the woodland trails and sacred wells of Wicklow.
​
Ireland has unique lodging from manor homes to B&B's. The Glendalough Hotel - the only hotel located just steps away from the monastic site, will be our home for the first several nights.
​
Because of Ireland's unique lodging , rooms may vary in shapes and sizes. Rooms will be fairly assigned based on order of registration.
​
Dietary Restrictions?
I'll make sure our hotels and B&B's are aware of any food allergies and sensitivities so you'll be well taken care of.
Our final. nights in Ireland will be spent in the beautiful Abbey Hotel. A unique, boutique hotel that will provide us with food and warmth as we spend our days entering into caves and tombs.
​
Here we connect with the ancient Mother Goddess and receive in both her healing and her blessings.
​
Something that I've noticed with my groups when we travel to Ireland, is how the land tugs at your roots anchoring you into the authentic self and your true spiritual lineage.

Your Guides
Michelle Nilson will be joining me on our Sacred Journey to Ireland. Michelle lives in Ireland and will be guiding us to many of the sites that are off-the-beaten path. She is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to the ancient sites of Ireland and has walked the path of a mystic for over 30 years.
​
She is a nature ally, mystic, and spiritual wisdom facilitator. She has studied with the Native American elders, Celtic Wheel traditions, herbal medicine, aromatherapy, flower essences, and energy healing modalities. Michelle has facilitated spiritual discussion groups and ceremonies for almost 30 years, and has co-facilitated tours, retreats, forest talks, and workshops to help others connect back to who they truly are at their core of their being.

This will be the fourth time that I've co-facilitated a retreat or sacred journey with Michelle, and it's always a magical experience!
