Are you yearning to deepen your connection with nature? Look no further!
Our mission is to connect you to nature in an easy and accessible way. A good way to do this is by going on a forest bathing walk, or come to one of our nature connection retreats.
We realise live events can take up a lot of your time, might be planned on days that don’t suit you, or can be expensive. With our DIY Nature Connection products, we’ve got you covered. Have a browse around our shop.

Forest & Sauna Retreat

Laragh, county Wicklow

Celebrate the autumn equinox with a retreat designed to nourish your body and soul. Join Orlagh and Cat in a stunning forest, where we take a nature connection walk and do some forest bathing, letting the balancing energy of autumn awaken our senses.
After immersing ourselves in the healing embrace of the trees, we'll pause with herbal tea and some light snacks before moving into deep relaxation with a sauna session at the Glendalough Sauna. A little piece of heaven in a stunning location. Alternating between the comforting heat and refreshing dips in a flowing river. Let the water cleanse and rejuvenate, mirroring the balance between light and dark the equinox brings.
The sauna is the Glendalough Riverside Sauna. You can find more information here: Glendalough Sauna – Axe Club
