April 21st-28th, 2023
OVERVIEW
Join MVP CEO, Michelle Young, and Tara Cleven in Wicklow, Ireland for an unforgettable week of hiking and exploring the history and nature of Ireland. Participants will have the opportunity to venture into town to shop and sight see in addition to enjoying the countryside, numerous hiking trails, and nearby streams. This retreat will be a Hatha Yoga retreat themed around traditional Hatha sadhana.Â
Participants’ room and board, three meals daily, transportation to and from excursions, and excursion fees are included in the price of the retreat. Supplemental meals, snacks, souvenirs, and airfare are not included in the price of the retreat.
Transportation
Transportation will be provided from the airport to your accommodation and from your accommodation back to the airport at the end of the retreat. Airfare is not included in the price of the retreat.
Location/Lodging
Our cozy lodging is approximately a 2 hours from the airport in Dublin. Retreat participants will meet and travel together by train to their accomodations in Wicklow. The retreat will be based in Wicklow, but there will be opportunities to travel to satelite cities around Wicklow and Dublin. Participants will have the opportunity to participate in castle tours, graveyard tours, hikes, and gentle strolls.
On March 25 participants will leave for the airport at 9 a.m. and arrive at the airport no later than 11 a.m. If a participant needs to arrive at the airport earlier it is important to account for the 2-hour drive from the retreat accommodation to the Seattle airport.
Meals
There will be three meals daily that are included in the participants’ room and board. We can accommodate most preferences, but it is important to note that it is nearly impossible for us to accommodate life-threatening allergies.
