Weekend Retreats
We’ve been facilitating the Weekend Retreats for over 4 years in various parts of the world. Now, every three-months our “The Wonder of the Soul Weekends” take place in the gorgeous Lake Lodge of the Liss Ard Estate in Skibbereen, West Cork. This is an absolutely stunning part of Ireland located along the Wild Atlantic Way. If you haven’t already been to this part of the world, then I’d suggest it’s something you put on your bucket list to do sooner, rather than later. The Liss Ard Estate is a sacred, quiet, contemplative location, focused on rejuvenation and revitalization for the body, mind, heart and spirit. People go to the Liss Ard Estate to take in the healing energies of the forests, the Lough and the Sky Garden as they reconnect and meditate.
Deeper Understanding
Our Weekend Retreats are quite a different experience. They are designed to support participants in a process of inner discovery and enlightenment through the power of group work. During the weekend there is time for self-exploration, group discussion as well as group sharing. There is space on the Weekend Retreat for self-exploration to make inner-connections and uncover where the vast majority of current challenges stem from. The group discussions give participants an opportunity to understand others and also themselves. During the group sharing, participants are able to resolve challenges, heal and evolve. A range of potent experiences are also included in the Weekend Retreat to help to promote expansion on a mental, emotional and spiritual level.
Weekend Retreat Benefits
Participants have told us that after our retreat they feel grounded, whole, more connected and aligned. They gain more of an understanding about life and what makes others tick. The camaraderie created with the other participants during the experience is powerful. The wisdom in the group, the honesty, the amazing minds working together – offer a powerful gift of understanding and clarity. Many of our participants say it’s unlike anything they’ve experienced before. These Weekend Retreats can help:

Ready for a Change
These weekend retreats are a life-changing intensive experience. It’s important for us to clarify though, that these weekends might not be for you if you’re uncomfortable discussing your past with anyone else, or if you are not ready to change. In the Lake Lodge, we are surrounded by nature, so you have the choice to unplug and experience two days without wifi or phone coverage. If that doesn’t sound like heaven, then this might not be for you but perhaps a one-on-one consultation would be more suitable.

Weekend Retreat Feedback
- “I found it very interesting at the Weekend Retreat, to listen to the stories of other people’s life experiences. It has opened my eyes to the relevance to specific periods of life, which is something I previously knew nothing about. My own personal life pattern within the time-periods was very stark and astonishingly clear.”
- “The Weekend Retreat was very beneficial to me and I feel absolutely fantastic in my own skin now. I cannot thank you enough for this feeling. I would like to secure a spot for myself to take part at the next Weekend – I am so excited!”
- “Thank you immensely for the Weekend, words are small device to show my love and appreciation for your contribution to humanity.”
- “I seem to have got braver about making myself do things that I generally resist doing. I seem to be more energized and positively charged since the Weekend. The new feeling is quite low-key and subtle but definitely there. I also was always very aware of carrying around some kind of weight internally, like a lump of lead, but it seems to be mostly absent right now.”
- “Thank you Michelle for an extraordinary Weekend experience!! Life has invited me to experience yesterday and today, more of the subjects I shared during the weekend: my approach and feelings have changed with regard to these events. And I am, now, in peace.”
