Moon Mná Retreats

After many years of holding Moon Mná Retreats, like the proverbial pebble in the pond, I felt it was time to invite the powerful ‘ripple’ that is the terrific sacred work of Moon Mná Circle Facilitator graduates an opportunity to offer their truly amazing Retreats to you here. These seasonal, shamanic and Celtic Gatherings incorporate many aspects of all these incredible women learnt on the Course including the Rites, Immrama Journeys and creative traditions. Please contact them directly for a deep immersion into the Divine Feminine – you will be in very safe and loving hands.

Sacred Immrama Journeys to your Womb and Breasts

As Grandmother Moon waxes to fullness, we will enter the most precious of conversations with our Moons of Love Sacred Breasts and the mighty Cauldron that is our womb. Together we will explore the untold gifts these treasured parts of our female bodies offer us. This is also an opportunity to gift healing for our selves and our ancestors in these body areas.

The Síle Na Gig Rites

These potent and profound Rites awaken a woman’s full sexual power. To receive them is an immense gift and huge blessing as you become gloriously aware of the sensuality which is your birthright. The Síle Na Gig carvings are reminders of this vital part of our holistic being – is it time for you to step forward and claim them as your own? Will you say a resounding Yes! Yes! Yes! to the exquisite wholeness of your psyche and sexuality?

Visit to Boleycarrigeen Stone Circle

We will visit this hidden treasure high in the Wicklow Hills – a Sacred Site known as the Griddle Stones where Sadbh (Sive) Fionn MacCumhaill’s wife cooked their food and enjoyed sensual delights – to share a sumptious picnic. Here we will anchor the Rites having awakened our full sexual power in glorious harmony with Mother Nature.

These events are for you if:

you yearn to connect deeply with the Divine Feminine and the sacred land of Ireland.

you hear the call to receive ancient Rites of Passage evolved by Moon Mná for you.

you dream of precious time to relax, learn and be still in a place of heart and soul.

you wish to commune with other like-hearted women on the path of enlightenment.

your Celtic soul longs for deep immersion into the wisdom practices of womanhood.

you enjoy laughter and the sheer exubrance of connection in community and nature.

Geraldine Ahern

Keening & Rebirthing Retreats

Geraldine, a rebirther, Keener and Moon Mná Circle Facilitator holds retreats in her native County Kerry. Her passion is to hold space for others to clear any trauma that is either inherited or accumulated throughout ones life so they may find their own healer within.

In her workshops and retreats she creates a safe space for others to come to the truth of who they are through various practices involving breathwork.

Geraldine's Upcoming Events

The Keening Retreats

We open to channel and give voice to our own grief and that of our ancestors. In particular the women in our lineage whose cries were left unheard and whose voices were silenced. We cry what could never be spoken.

It is a most sacred, beautiful & poignant yet liberating ceremony connecting in with ourselves and each other as women.

The Rebirthing Retreats

Rebirthing Breathwork is  a breathwork modality & a profound therapy as we take the opportunity to look inside at what is blocking our life.

By exploring our inner world we receive the answers we so very often look for outside. The breath expands us and our awareness so we become more conscious of any hurts & pain and also our projections onto others that are rooted in negative beliefs and stories formed at birth or in our mothers womb.

Sound of Silence Retreats

A space in silence and part darkness to come away from the stimuli of seeing & hearing outwardly to the inner world of the sounds of silence. To become the witness.

A journey into the space beyond our stories. The space between our breath and between our thoughts. The space where your true self resides.

At the gloaming we will experience the profound energies of a Fire Ceremony together where we will release, welcome in  and dance with wild abandon outside as the Hay Moon rises.

FAQ

You may have some questions about our annual long weekend Retreat and here are some of the most frequently asked answered.

We begin on Friday evening after sharing dinner together and end on Sunday at 7.30pm. Each day starts at 10.00am and finishes at approximately 10.00pm with generous free time during each day.

I will email you simple preparation notes a week beforehand. Usually these are to bring a journal and pen, outdoor and indoor clothes etc. 

There will be no notes given as this is an experiential workshop-like Retreat based around awakening feelings and energetic transmissions. You will be regularly encouraged to journal, recording these experiences for you to bring home, reread and ponder later on.

Breakfast is self service laid out from 8.30am with plenty of choice. Gluten and dairy free options at all vegetarian meals. Lunch is usually around 1.00pm-2.00pm and Dinner from approximately 6.00pm-7.00pm.

 There is a car park outside the Wicklow Escape Lodge however as it is not very big, we encourage you to car pool if possible. If you are travelling and do not have transport I will help match you with a lift.

The Wicklow Escape Lodge is accessible by car only so I encourage as many to drive as possible and if you need a lift get yourself to the nearest train station such as Bray or Greystones and we will arrange collection. On the Booking Form I ask about who can offer and who needs a lift to match you all up. I reccommend offering some money for fuel to whoever offers a lift.
