Echoes of the Ancients: A Nature Journey
Gather Beneath the Canopy and connect to each other in nature
Looking for something different to do on your visit to Ireland? Our guided forest bathing and nature connection experiences offer private groups a chance to slow down, breathe deeply, and rediscover the healing power of the natural world. Each experience is crafted to suit your group’s needs, blending science-backed wellness practices with the timeless wisdom of the woods. Our private forest bathing and nature connection sessions offer a gentle, immersive escape. Drawing on the wisdom of the Celtic Wheel, Orlagh and Cat bring ancient Irish folklore, deities and traditions into their practice, bringing you on a journey through the ages.
Where you can find us
Our main location is situated at the foot of the Dublin Mountains in Fernhill Park and Gardens. We can also deliver your session in Glencullen and parts of Wicklow.
What your experience includes
Our private outings last between 1.5 and 2.5 hours, depending on what you choose. Each session follows a gentle, supportive flow:
- Arriving & Letting Go
We begin by releasing the noise of daily life, setting aside worries and easing into a slower rhythm. - Sensory Meditation
Participants are guided through a calming sensory meditation that awakens presence and softens the mind. - Mindful Exploration
We take a slow, attentive wander, absorbing the textures, sounds, scents, and atmosphere of the landscape. - Sensory Activities
The group is invited into simple, grounding sensory practices that deepen connection with the surroundings. - Reflection Time
A quiet moment to share, journal, or simply sit with the experience. - Mindful Tasting
We close with organic chocolate and a cup of fresh herbal tea made from plants grown in Cat’s garden. A warm, nourishing way to return to the world.
Participants often describe the experience as hitting a “reset button”, leaving refreshed, revitalised, and more connected to themselves and each other.
