Events & Retreats
at An Óige

It was such an enriching and nourishing experience on so many levels. Even the woman at the office centre where I rent a hot desk noticed a difference in me from when she saw me on Friday and again on Monday after the retreat. She said I looked 10 years younger (I must have looked weary beforehand lol). I have signed up for membership and myself, and Leona are planning on walking the Wicklow Way together as a result of our chats! Who knows where all the beautiful connections will lead. Go raibh mile maith agaibh.

I really enjoyed the weekend, words don’t do justice. Suffice it to say that I am still a bit in the zone, and I don’t intend leaving it anytime soon. I need only take hold of my stick, and I come right back into myself. Things will come and go. I needed this so much. The facilitation was great. Accommodation and setting were special. The food… oh my… beautiful beyond words. So much thanks to Fionnula, Liam and Gearóid, and to you Liz for pulling it all together. Memories, memories. The experience was unforgettable. Thank you so much.

I just attended a wonderful weekend retreat at Knockree Hostel in Wicklow. The retreat was An Slua Croí with the wonderful Fionnuala from A Wholesome Movement. Fionnuala, Liam, Liz and Gearóid created a beautiful space to take some time out and reconnect with nature, to connect in with our Irish mythology and with ourselves in the celebration of Lughnasadh. A very nurturing weekend. The food was fabulous, my glamping tent was cosy, and the staff were friendly and helpful.

I attended ‘An Slua Croí’ retreat in august 2026. It was a last-minute decision for me, but actually it was meant to be. The facilitators, Fionnuala and Liam, guided us so beautifully through the weekend, held us in safe space, and I got so much more than I ever expected. Everything was organised superbly (thanks Liz) and the food was absolutely next level, thanks to Gearóid. The magic was there from start to finish, and beyond, and I am so, so grateful to have been part of this special weekend. I would recommend to anyone, whether you have never even heard of the word ‘spirituality’ or if you have been on a hundred retreats. And I will DEFO be back. Thank you.

Thank you from the deepest part of my heart. I came with an open heart and came out with a full heart and a nurtured body and mind. From the beautiful food, and amazing energy that held us all for the weekend. The walks in nature were so special. The experience will stay with me for a long time.

Míle míle buíochas for an unforgettable retreat weekend at the beautiful Knockree Hostel. Go hiontach ar fád! Maith thu Fionnuala, Liam Liz agus Gearóid. To our co-ordinators for bringing out the magic of the 15 individuals that joined this to form our group and the magic from the kitchen. I am so grateful and appreciative for the light, laughter and love of the group. Solas, Gáire agus Grá. Huge thanks to all involved. Bia blásta! Beautiful location, thanks again.

Thank you so, so much for a beautiful, spiritual, grounding, loving, nature filled weekend. From start to finish it could not have been better. I would highly recommend to anyone who the need to slow down, rest and look after yourself. With gratitude and love from a thankful heart. Liam and Fionnuala were wonderful facilitators.

I wasn’t sure what to expect, I was attending with my sister. It was time for us to be in a beautiful location with some yoga and nice walks. What we received was so much more. What a weekend. It will go down as one of my favourite weekends ever. Liz, Fionnuala, Liam facilitated and organised everything perfectly and Gearóid our amazing chef, was exceptional. Everyone that came, I connected with and made amazing connections with beautiful people who I feel so privileged to have met. I am leaving feeling replenished, nurtured, loved and most grateful for this wonderful experience. If you are thinking about it – do it! I will most certainly be back. Míle buíochas mo chairde!

I’m not sure where to start. I attended the An Slua Croí retreat with Liam and Fionnuala at Knockree Hostel in august. I came solo and left with beautiful new connections and a full heart. The mediators, the yoga, the walking in nature and outdoor meditations, as well as the story telling, were amazing. Then there was the gorgeous food by Gearóid, absolutely beautiful. I felt held, nourished, and nurtured. Staying at the hostel, sharing with 3 other women, I thought could be a challenge, but it turned out to be a gift and we all got on great. The whole group were so open and welcoming. Liz joined us and supported us all alongside Fionnuala and Liam. I would hugely recommend this retreat experience. I am so so grateful. Go raibh mile maith agaibh go léir. 5 star *****

This was the best camp my daughter has ever attended. Everything was outstanding-the food, the staff, the location, the activities, even the idea of the teens preparing meals together, which was such a fantastic way to teach independence and teamwork. And five days free from electronics (just 20 mins to say hello to parents). Huge respect to the camp leaders for their dedication and for successfully getting the kids to disconnect from their phones. That is truly an amazing achievement!! We will definitely be back next year. Highly recommended!
