NORTHERN IRELAND
The Offline Retreat
3 day digital detox retreat on the North Coast of Ireland. No phones, no laptops, do not disturb mode on. This is your invitation to unplug and come back to presence.
14TH AUGUST - 16TH AUGUST
For three days, you'll trade notifications for nature, scrolling for stillness, and constant stimulation for genuine connection. On the coast of Northern Ireland, The Offline Retreat is designed to help safely lay down your to do list, your responsibilities and your stresses, and enter a space where you can breathe deeply, think clearly, sleep soundly, and reconnect with what matters most.
No pressure. No performance. No endless doing. No rigid schedules. No where else you need to be.
Just time to slow down, be fully present, and go back to what life used to be like before we were bombarded by screens and being available 24/7. This is the perfect excuse to go incognito and fill up your cup again in the real world.
This is your chance to step away from the chaos and noise.

Yasmine
The first retreat was so life changing that I decided to hop on a second one, because I just knew that no matter what happens in the trip, the INTENTION behind it was gonna be PURE, HEART OPENING, and HOLY. After the trip, I left with A whole new regulated nervous system , discovered new nature horizons , bonded with a new community of supportive loving sisterhood that made me feel seen, understood, loved

“I feel genuinely amazing. I feel like I have a new, refreshing, zest for life and am reinspired and motivated. I have the most positive energy within me right now and it feels so light and reassuring. I feel wayyyy less worry and anxiety and like I have trust in the universe. It’s such a good feeling to know that I’ve found friends, role models and a support system for life. Sian, you are one in a million. Your purpose and intention shows through everything that you do

Vhairi
Before I arrived, I felt pretty soulless. All the energy had been extracted from me, and I knew I couldn’t pour from an empty cup. When I left I felt quite literally high on life!
I fell back in love with life again, and met the best of friends, true sisterhood and felt completely recharged and ready to take on the next challenge.

Nicole
The level of joy, love and peace I have felt in a single week is unmatched to anything I have experienced to this day.
The way I connected to others and was able to re-connect to myself is something I will strive to uphold in the future. I have made memories that will last a lifetime and I’ll always look back to this experience with a heart full of gratitude.

Melanie
I was immediately drawn to this retreat because I’ve been wanting to create intentional slowness in my life, while surrounding myself with love and sisterhood. Having been to one of Sian’s previous retreats, I knew that her energy would attract the most open hearted, genuine women. That was certainly the case with this retreat, and throughout our time together I have felt so loved, seen, and valued by each and every woman. Leaving this experience, I feel nourished from within.

Stefanie
This retreat was life-changing in ways I didn’t expect. It brought me closer to my goals, my truth, and most importantly, myself. The women, the space, the activities—every part helped me rediscover something I had buried. I found the sense of belonging I had been searching for.

A note to the place where I was born
I've had a complicated relationship with Ireland my whole life. I have an Irish father, and Irish name, and an Irish birth certificate. But I've always felt like an outsider when I would visit my family. Growing up in Hong Kong has made me feel disconnected to my Irish roots. For the longest time I didn't know if I'd ever feel 'Irish' (my accent definitely doesn't scream Ireland lol) but the more time I've spent in Ireland, walking her coastlines, her mountains, learning about the history of my ancestors, and listening to the stories woven into the land, the more I've come to understand that Ireland offers something our modern world is desperately missing. Space. There is a rhythm to life here that feels different. Less hurried. Less performative. More connected to nature, to community, to faith, and to what truly matters. I'm so excited to welcome you to this special corner of the world.

Thailand, Greece, Portugal, maybe even somewhere closer to home? Your opinion matters, so cast your vote and let me know where your heart is pulling you and maybe we'll see you there next!
With Love,
VOTE FOR THE NEXT RETREAT
