I never wanted a retreat centre

and then suddenly, Spring 2021, I had the idea of buying a property in Ireland to run my courses and events at…

The cost was prohibitive, but I let myself run with the idea, and arranged to go and look at some properties when I was in Ireland holding my Firewalk Instructor Certification course that May.

BOOM!

In a random conversation about it with Stephen who owns Mayo Glamping he casually mentioned ‘if you want a hand building any huts, let me know’ and a seed was planted.  Over the coming weeks a dream grew in my head that was suddenly much more affordable/doable – it includes some ambitious ideas!  (it wouldn’t be me if it didn’t) Including hosting courses to enable others to learn more about building their own retreat centres, or garden spaces, from the ground up.

the seeds are ready to grow

Over the last few months these seeds have turned into a calling. One that has filled my planning time, as well as my dreams.  One that I know I can’t turn my back on, and so here we are – getting ready to welcome the Wild Soul Retreat Centre into the World.
