East Clare/Southeast Galway (Four Nights): We will stay at an Eco House and Organic Kitchen Center, a boutique eco-hotel near Loughrea. This charming accommodation includes an equestrian center and one of Ireland's only certified organic restaurants, with much of the produce coming from their gardens.

West Cork (Six Nights): In West Cork, we will stay in two luxurious manor houses on a 100-acre private woodland with sea views from the gardens. These houses feature spacious communal areas and multiple kitchens, providing a high standard of comfort in a beautiful, serene setting.

The trip will involve moderate walking and hiking through various landscapes, including forests, hills, and ancient sites. Participants should be comfortable walking on uneven terrain for some periods of time. If you have any specific concerns about physical requirements, please reach out to us.

Yes, there will be some designated free time throughout the trip for participants to rest, reflect, or explore nearby areas on their own. We encourage participants to use this time to connect with the landscape in their own way, whether through journaling, photography, or quiet contemplation. Of course, everything we offer is optional and you can always choose to stay in our stunning accommodation whenever you crave some quiet downtime by yourself.

Ireland is known for its unpredictable weather, with the possibility of experiencing all four seasons in one day. It’s best to be prepared for a mix of sunny, rainy, and cool weather. We recommend dressing in layers and bringing waterproof gear, such as a rain jacket and waterproof shoes. Keeping a positive attitude, enjoying the mystic atmosphere of Ireland in any weather and being prepared for varying conditions will enhance your experience.

Our guides are experts in their fields, including Herbalism, Botany, Wild Food Foraging, Mythology, and Native Tree Lore. They have extensive knowledge of Ireland's flora, fauna, and cultural history and will provide enriching information and stories during the trip.

To ensure a personalized and immersive experience, the group size is kept small, typically ranging from 18 to 24 participants. This allows for a more intimate connection with the guides, the land, and the cultural experiences.
