Aisling Áes Dána Retreat

Dreaming Your Dán with the Otherworld

Sacred Boyne Valley, Éire, Ireland

12th-17th October 2025

With Jennifer Murphy and Aoife Lowden

This women’s creative retreat will take place in the sacred Boyne Valley this autumn, co-hosted by myself, and my anam chara, my soul friend, Aoife Lowden.

Our retreat is for you if you are ready to dream into your dán - into what our ancestors understood as creative destiny. This is essential for these times we find ourselves in; the soul has to be given permission to shine forth, for you to become the ‘Shining One’ you were always meant to be.

We hosted this retreat for the first time in 2024, here are some words our sisters shared about their experience with us:

Group of eight women standing on stairs in front of an ancient stone fortification with a small opening, blue sky overhead.

‘I have been so inspired, humbled and nurtured by your open, generous, knowledgeable and deeply sincere guidance and facilitation. Thank you for being an extraordinary weaver of magic.’

‘Palpable, gorgeous and a gift to receive.’

‘A gift for the great opening of people to the Otherworld and to themselves.’

‘Thank you for sharing your wisdom and dán with us and for encouraging us with such LOVE.’

‘I can’t emphasise enough how much your presence and spirit is impacting my journey.’

‘To say that this was a special experience is a huge understatement. You have blessed us with a life-changing experience and I am so grateful!’

Building on this, we have extended the length of our retreat and we hope you will join us! Full retreat details including the application form are available on Aoife’s website.

As of mid-August there is still time to apply.
