January 8th-10th 2027 Weekend Retreat:
Begin the year with space to restore, relax, and rejuvenate, while also setting fresh intentions for 2027. Most of all, this is an invitation to step away and give yourself the time you need to release the heaviness of the Christmas season.
Across this weekend retreat, you will have the opportunity to deepen your yoga practice and explore ways to support nervous system regulation through yoga, sauna, cacao ceremony, breathwork, meditation, sound bath, journaling, lake swimming, and walks in nature. Held in the heart of winter, the retreat is designed to nourish the physical, emotional, and spiritual self after the pace of the festive season. You will also create intentions for 2027 and offer to the fire whatever you are ready to leave behind.
Located at Lough Mardal, Bradlieve, Ballintra, Co. Donegal, F94 W4FE.
The Living Intuitively with Cara retreat weekend will include movement, nature, and deep rest: walks, yoga, sea and lake swimming, sauna by the lake, nourishing food, meditation, and self-care practices inspired by Ayurveda.

About the yurts:
SKY DOME YURT LIFE
There is nothing quite like staying in a yurt. Simple yet magical, with wooden lattice walls and radial rafters, it creates a sense of the exotic. The yurts are well spaced to ensure seclusion and privacy. Each one is luxuriously furnished with a comfortable seating area and styled with sheepskins, cosy Donegal tweed wool blankets, heavy 15 tog duvets, fluffed pillows, and crisp white linen. All offer beautiful views of the lake, mountains, and forest. There are 4 single beds available in each yurt.
THE LODGE
The Lodge is a communal amenity and social hub for retreat guests. It offers a large space ideal for movement classes, along with toilets and hot showers. Its standout feature is the striking Reciprocal Room, a light-filled lounge with spiralling beams overhead and sweeping views of the lake, forestry, and mountains.
Designed for two guests, these double ensuite rooms offer a comfortable and private stay with a double bed and a balcony that opens to fabulous views. They are an ideal choice for couples or friends looking for a peaceful retreat experience with a touch of comfort and ease.
Each room includes breakfast in the room rate, making mornings simple and relaxed so you can begin the day feeling nourished and ready for your plans. With ensuite facilities and a welcoming atmosphere, these rooms provide everything needed for a restful stay.
Whether you are joining a wellness retreat or simply looking for a quiet escape, these rooms create a pleasant base to unwind, recharge, and enjoy the surroundings.
