September 15 - 23, 2025
This is a unique shamanic journey into the divine feminine energies of Ireland’s wild and ancient places. We will travel through the lands of the ancestors that hold the numinous energies of the wild feminine. We are in the year of the green or wood snake, my natal born sign and I am your guide calling an intentional group of women back to the Celtic Heartland to activate the serpent within and dragon lines of Ireland.
Stalking the energy lines and sacred sites with our intention for healing and re-membering our wildness and power is the intent of this journey. This is an opportunity to re-connect with the sacred feminine powers of creation, birth/death and regeneration. We will call upon the Cailleach, Brigid, Maeve and Eriu among others.
This journey is for shamanic practitioners who feel called to embody divine feminine codes of memory and your deep ancient power of intuition and knowing. To hear the voice of the goddess through the sea, wind, mountains and springs. Once you are initiated, there is no going back, the healing circumambulates your life like an ouroboros, healing the past and the future. The time is now to bring these codes alive within you to guide the evolution of new earth.

ITINERARY
We travel during the eclipse season from Full to New Moon solar eclipse completing on the Autumn Equinox. This powerful portal of shedding, release and rebirth will guide us through our journey. We will attune to the energies as we travel and work intentionally at sacred sites and in ceremony. Walking, meditating, listening, stalking and journeying will be our modes of connextion. We will travel to different sites every day and have time in the evenings for good food and music to enliven our spirit.
This Journey will begin with a private van pick up in Galway City Monday morning September 15th. We will begin our tour driving to the mystical ancestral burial grounds and limestone sea called the Burren where we’ll stay for three nights. From there we travel to Sligo then across Ireland to County Meath. Much of our journey will be enjoying the outdoors, hiking and communing with the land. Included in the itinerary are the extraordinary ancient archaeological sites of Ireland's ancestors in the Burren, Sligo and the ancient East.
During my time living in Ireland I developed a deep initiation and personal relationship with each of these locations. I am being guided to share them with you as an energetic map of unfolding your inner serpent awakening. Each place holds unique and powerful activating codes for healing and empowerment. We will make a special stop at Croagh Patrick for a ceremonial snake activation. We will also visit the Neolithic site of Loughcrew for the equinox solar alignment connecting us to the power of the Cailleach.
Our accommodations are comfortable B&B’s Lodges and a charming Country Farmhouse with sacred spring and gardens. We complete our journey in Dublin on Tuesday Sept 23rd at noon for drop off in city center. Transportation back to Galway available. (Our Monday pick up in Galway gives travelers the chance to add a weekend in Galway City before we begin. For those staying in the city we will have a meet and greet on Sunday eve. )
You will visit some of the most beautiful and sacred locations in Ireland, a few well known and others off the beaten path. This will be an exceptional experience for those who feel drawn to experience the magical authentic power of Ireland - beyond the tourist cliches - and go deeper into the mystical intrigue of this sacred island.
