Finishing with a rejuvenating mediation of gratitude and manifestation.

Get the most majestic and best start for your day in the stunning setting of Glendalough.
We will start the morning with an a mild walk around a beautiful trail around Glendalough, offering us stunning views of both lakes, surrounding mountains and all the enchanting spring greenery and nature that one could behold - a very grounding experience. With some of the most beautiful viewing point to stop, take it all in and breath.
We will have a (optional dip) in the lake. Some of the benefits of this dip will include - boosting the cardiovascular circulation, which is beneficial for a healthy heart, a strong immune system, well-balanced mental health and a high level of energy for the rest of the day.
If the weather allows we will spend the day completely outdoors immersed in nature with a secret yoga and cacao spot along the hike or will then go inside a stunning secret cabin, overlooking Derrybawn Mountain. This is a beautiful setting to take time out to do some inner work, surrounded by beautiful nature and in a cosy indoor room. We will enjoy some gentle yoga, a cacao ceremony and enter into a wonderful and relaxing meditation to go within. Bring a journal, bring a yoga mat, bring your favourite cup and bring an open heart of enthusiasm for a magical morning in the most majestic spot.

A restorative summer day in the heart of the Wicklow Mountains
Join us for a deeply nourishing day of nature, movement, breathwork, ceremonial cacao, contrast therapy and rest at Anam Kara Wellness, set within the beautiful Glendalough House Estate.
Summer Serenity is designed to help you step away from the noise of everyday life and reconnect with yourself, nature and others in one of Ireland’s most peaceful settings.
