Imbolc: A Day of Quiet Beginnings

Stirring the Inner Flame

Sunday 8th February | 10:00 am – 5:00 pm
Yoga Barn, Killaloe, Co. Clare

A gentle Imbolc day retreat to pause, breathe and begin the year in rhythm with nature.

Why This Day

Imbolc marks the first subtle stirring of life beneath the surface, a threshold between winter and spring. While the calendar year may begin in January, many of us only start to feel a natural readiness to emerge as the light returns and nature begins to wake.

This one-day retreat is an invitation to slow down, listen inwardly and tend what is quietly awakening within you, without rushing it into form. It offers a more organic start to the year, rooted in connection, presence, and possibility.

What This Day Offers

Throughout the day, you’ll be guided through spacious, nourishing practices designed to support deep listening and quiet reflection, including:

• Sound and guided inner listening

• Reflection, story, and symbolic practices

• Simple creative exploration

• Time to breathe, rest, and dream

• A small, safe, and respectful circle

This is not a packed or demanding day. Everything is offered with choice, allowing you to engage at your own pace.

The Spirit of the Day

Like the snowdrop, rising softly through winter ground, this retreat honours quiet strength and the courage to begin in your own time.

You’ll be held in a warm, contained space where you can be yourself, think creatively, and reconnect with the deeper wish or possibility you carry for the year ahead, without pressure to have clarity or answers.

Who This Day Is For

This Imbolc day retreat is for you if you’re longing for:

• A gentler way to begin the year

• Space to breathe, reflect, and reconnect with yourself

• Time away from busyness and expectation

• A nature-aligned, soulful rhythm

• A small, intimate group experience

No previous experience with meditation, sound, or creative practices is needed.
