Day 2

Galway – Mayo

Travel to the village of Cong that straddles the counties of Galway and Mayo, home to the father of Oscar Wilde and the location of John Ford’s Oscar-winning film “The Quiet Man”.

Walk through Cong Forest which was formally owned by the Guinness family until 1939. Stroll the Abbey grounds and learn the history of the last High King of Ireland, Rory O Connor, for the final years of his life in the old Abbey.

Upon reaching the river there is an old stone building called “the Monks fishing house”. This is where the monks spent their days praying and meditating and practicing their fishing skills. Why not throw in a fishing line and settle back to a time of rich history and a feeling of peace and tranquillity.

Check-in to your hotel for relaxation.

Days 3 & 4

This is an experimental learning approach promoting the development of educational, professional and personal goals. All exercises are carried out on the ground. The horse offers egoless and nonjudgemental reflections to the human and you will about learn about your personal strengths and vulnerabilities. Research shows that equine connection has positive effects on stress levels and reduces feelings of anger, tension and anxiety.

You will be encouraged to make peace with them and develop more positive energy. In turn, this encourages a greater sense of contentment and a feeling of calm. As a reward empowering and enriching your day-to-day life.

Day 6

Its entrance is aligned with the rising sun and the winter solstice. This passage tomb helps you realise our existence in relation to time and history. You should consider your own journey and embrace your experiences on your mind, body and soul.

Return to Dublin to your hotel and relax.
