GRACE O'MALLEY IRELAND RETREAT
May 6-13, 2020
In collaboration with Yoga Retreats Ireland, Yoga Warrior is able to offer you a unique retreat experience set outside Dublin in the Wild Atlantic Way. Staying in your very own Downton Abbey manor, Temple house will be your home for the week. It is a classical Georgian manor set on a private estate of over 1,000 acres. This luxury country house in County Sligo, Ireland is overlooking a 13th century lakeside castle of the Knights Templar. The Perceval family home since 1665, the present manor was redesigned in 1864 and enjoys the authentic and unpretentious luxury country house atmosphere.
You will follow the footsteps of Ireland's most courageous woman and Warrior. . .Grace O'Malley! Beginning with the Atlantic Ocean. . .the star of the week! Grace sneered in the face of tradition and took to the unforgiving depths of the Atlantic. We will follow Grace’s story around the west of Ireland, from Clew bay to Claire Island.
We will enjoy a Seaweed bath, which has been a tradition in Ireland for hundreds of years and Ireland’s only indigenous spa therapy. With only a few remaining in the entire country this is a spa treatment not to be missed!
The beauty and mythology associated with the landscape were the great inspiration for Nobel Prize winning poet W.B. Yeats. As a dominant regional landmark, Knocknarea is particularly prominent in his work, being featured in a total of seven poems.
“The wind has bundled up the clouds high over Knocknarea and thrown the
thunder on the stones for all that Maeve can say.” - W.B. Yeats

OUR DAY TRIPS
CLARE ISLAND
Clare Island is located 3.5 miles off the west coast of County Mayo, Ireland. The ferry crossing from Roonagh Pier takes 25 minutes and there is every chance that you will be accompanied on your journey by a school of dolphins and or a herd of seals. Clare Island is the largest (5 miles long and 3 miles wide) of the 365 islands in Clew Bay. Famous as the ancestral home of the legendary Pirate Queen Grace O’Malley (Granuaile), she has a population of about 160 people.
CARROWKEEL
Carrowkeel is a beautifully situated neolithic hilltop passage tomb complex consisting of 14 passage cairns identified with letters. The passage cairns are spread across a number of hills that form part of the Bricklieve Mountain range (the Irish name Breac sliabh means speckled mountain).
HIKING TO THE TOP OF KNOCKNAREA
Visit Queen Maeve in her resting place on the summit of Knocknarea. Legend has it that she was interred, in full battle gear, within the stones of the most dramatic tumulus in Ireland, at least 3,500 years after its construction by our Neolithic ancestors. We don’t know what other secrets are inside that undisturbed summit tumulus, so bring your imagination with you to this unique place.
