7 Days on the Emerald Isle
My love affair with the Emerald Isle began years ago and it was Ireland that inspired me to launch my very first international retreat. It changed me and everyone that has joined over the years has been opened to the magic of Eiru. This year, we return for our third pilgrimage and this time we are focusing on the rugged and wild west. The west of Ireland is where the Atlantic crashes against ancient stone, where myth and mist blur the veil between worlds, and where the land still feels untamed, alive, and fiercely sacred.
We’ll settle into the charm of traditional thatched cottages overlooking Dunguaire Castle and the waters of Galway Bay. It’s as magical as it sounds. Imagine waking up to golden sunrises over the castle, wandering to waterside restaurants and shops, and immersing yourself in the rhythm of coastal village life.
Beyond the charm of this small village lies something deeper. The West coast is known for its dramatic landscapes — the Burren’s limestone bones, ancient stone circles, goddess healing wells, and the ever-present Atlantic horizon. There are legends linking this coastline to the lost lands of Atlantis and whether myth or memory, there is a palpable sense that something ancient lingers here. Ireland is often referred to as the body of the Goddess and this journey invites us to walk upon her, listen to her, and remember who we are through her land.
There’s something about the west that moves you and the veil feels extremely thin. Join me in the land of the elementals, the Tuatha Dé Danann and the fae for a magical 6 nights/7days.

Testimonials from 2023
Rooted Ireland was profound and heart opening. It does not matter where you travel with Kailee as she immerses you in the sacredness of both the land and ancient wisdom it holds. She cradles your heart so delicately just as Mother Earth gently does with her love & wisdom. What is the most profound in her retreats is the way she holds a container of women and allows all the beauty to unfold within every single one. Rooted Ireland had me fall in love with myself. I walked away loving all versions of me: past, present & future. Thank-you Kailee for following your path & lighting up this world through travel & sacred ceremony. - Karla - Canada - 2023
Words can not explain how grateful I am to Kailee for the pilgrimage excursion I just returned from in Ireland. My souls home is in Ireland and every scared site we visited was transformational. I have returned home a different women. Kailee organized and intentions behind each site was exactly what I needed. Everyone needs to experience a pilgrimage excursion and having Kailee as your guide you will not be disappointed. - Wendy - Canada - 2023

Before/After Tour
I recommend arriving a day before we begin our journey together for a couple of reasons. Firstly, you get to experience Dublin which is a beautiful city to explore. Secondly, it will give you a chance to get your sleep schedule changed around.
If you arrive on September 8, the bus will leave the airport at our meeting point for West Ireland at 12pm. If you don’t arrive a day earlier you will have to make sure you choose a flight that arrives in the a.m. which there are options for.
For booking the return flight, we will be dropped back off at Dublin International Airport for 11am on September 14th. Please keep this in mind when considering your return flight.
Alternatively, stay a night in Dublin after the tour to soak up some of the city before you leave.
