Autumn Alchemy
A peaceful autumn afternoon in the heart of the Wicklow Mountains
Join us for a beautiful afternoon of nature, movement, breathwork, ceremonial cacao and relaxation at Anam Kara Wellness, set within the beautiful Glendalough House Estate.
Autumn Alchemy is designed to help you step away from the noise of everyday life, slow things down and spend an afternoon immersed in nature and the peaceful surroundings of the estate.
You’ll be guided through an autumn experience combining a woodland stroll, gentle yoga, ceremonial cacao, breathwork, meditation and time to simply pause, with the option to continue your retreat with a wood-fired sauna, cold plunge and nourishing seasonal meal.
This is an afternoon to slow down, let go, breathe deeply and enjoy the simple pleasure of being surrounded by nature.
The Experience
We’ll begin together before heading out for a gentle afternoon stroll through the woodland trails and grounds of the Glendalough House Estate. We’ll slow the pace, take in our surroundings and spend some time away from screens, schedules and the usual rush of everyday life.
Back at Anam Kara, we’ll gather over ceremonial cacao and explore the autumn theme of letting go, before moving into a gentle, autumn-inspired yoga practice to release tension from the body and settle the mind.
Breathwork and guided meditation will bring the afternoon to a peaceful close, leaving time to pause and enjoy the calm of the surroundings before we finish together with a closing reflection.
For those choosing the extended experience, the retreat continues with Anam Kara’s beautiful wood-fired sauna and optional cold plunge, followed by a nourishing seasonal meal shared together.
Expect an afternoon of nature, gentle movement, cacao, quiet moments and good company, all surrounded by the beauty of the Wicklow Mountains.

An autumn evening of slow, restful yin and immersive sound, created to leave you feeling lighter, calmer and deeply restored.
Join us at the beautiful SoEarth Projects in Kill, Co. Kildare for two hours of yin yoga, meditation and immersive sound, created to bring together slow movement, stillness and deep relaxation.Yin & Sound combines the restful practice of yin yoga with an immersive sound bath led by Robyn Browning.
We’ll begin the evening on our mats with a slow and restful yin yoga practice.
Yin yoga invites us to do less, holding mostly floor-based poses for longer periods of time and giving the body an opportunity to slow down and release tension while encouraging greater mobility and flexibility.
From here, you’ll be invited to get comfortable, lie back and rest as Robyn guides you through an immersive sound bath. Using a beautiful combination of instruments and sound, the experience invites you to become still, turn your attention inward and enjoy an extended period of uninterrupted rest.
No previous experience of yoga, meditation or sound baths is needed.
Come alone, bring a friend, roll out your mat and enjoy a different kind of Friday.

• A slow and restful yin yoga practice
• Mostly floor-based poses held for longer periods of time
• Movement to encourage mobility, relaxation and release

• An extended period of uninterrupted rest
• A relaxed and welcoming group setting
• A beautiful way to spend an autumn evening slowing down.

A day of Bliss 🤍 I recently attended one of Cróga comforts retreat days and it was just such a beautiful day from start to finish. Saoirse is such a gorgeous girl and so welcoming to everyone. We started with a beautiful forest walk, then an idyllic setting for yoga and cacao ceremony, followed by a refreshing group wild swim. Life is a bit intense sometimes so if your looking for a day of escape this is what you need.
