A Personal Invitation

2026 Soul Dolls Celtic Pilgrimage & Rejuvenation Retreat

In 2024, something sacred was born on Irish soil.

A gathering of women. A circle of creation. The first ever Soul Dolls Retreat- co-created with Caoimhe Tuthill (Boann Irish Felt Designs) and other beautiful local Irish women whose roots run as deep as the land itself.

It began the year before, when I had the privilege of attending a Moon Mna retreat, my first time standing upon my ancestral homeland. It was here, in the soft mist and ancient quiet of Ireland, that Soul Dolls came into view. Not as an idea, but as a calling. A mission to bring the doll- and everything she carries, to as many women as possible.

And then came Loughcrew.

At the end of my time in Ireland 2024 (after we completed our retreat), Caoimhe brought me to this breathtaking sacred site. The moment I arrived, something inside me lit. My spirit said yes- clear and certain, the way only the truest things are. I knew I would return. I knew Loughcrew would hold us.

That vision took time to fully arrive. 2025 brought its lessons, its unravellings, its quiet reshapings. But today the path is clear, and the invitation is open.

We are returning to Ireland in 2026.

This is your invitation to join us for the Soul Dolls Celtic Pilgrimage & Rejuvenation Retreat - a journey that weaves together ancestral land, sacred creativity, sisterhood, and the timeless medicine of making. This year we have the priviledge of collobarating with the beautiful Aoife Kane of Your Sovereign Self , she brings with her the amazing Tanya Ranalow a Whole Foods Chef.

Together we will:

  • Walk ancient ground and let it walk through us

  • Create your Soul Doll - a deeply personal totem of who you are and who you are becoming

  • Gather in circle with women who feel the call of this uncertain, extraordinary time

  • Rest, restore, and remember yourself

This is not just a retreat. It is a pilgrimage, inward and outward at once.

Whether Ireland is your ancestral home or simply a land your soul has always known, you are welcome here.

Come as you are. Leave changed.

The doll is waiting. So is the land. So are we.

Soul Dolls Celtic Pilgrimage & Rejuvenation Retreat

October 11–15 • Rockfield House • Near Loughcrew

A gathering for the woman who feels the shifting of the world in her bones… who senses the fatigue in her spirit… and who knows it is time, finally, to return to herself.

Over 5 days and 4 nights, we step away from the noise and into a sacred, creative, restorative pilgrimage designed to nourish the parts of you that have been stretched, scattered, or quietly depleted. This journey is intimate, handcrafted, and deeply supportive-woven from ancient landscape, creative ritual, and women’s circle wisdom.


What Awaits You

Doll-Making & Textile Felting

Create your own Soul Doll through guided processes that help you reconnect with pieces of yourself that may feel forgotten, distant, or tender.

This is art-making as remembrance… as reclamation… as healing.

Pilgrimage to Loughcrew

We will visit the ancient site of Loughcrew, one of Ireland’s most powerful sacred landscapes- first before our doll-making begins, and again after- allowing the land itself to hold part of your transformation.

Vegetarian Cuisine

Nourish your body with wholesome, comforting vegetarian meals prepared with intention and shared in community.

Nordic Walking

Move gently through the surrounding countryside, reconnecting with your breath, your body, and the rhythm of the earth.

Your Home for the Journey

We’ll be staying together at the serene Rockfield House, just minutes from our pilgrimage site. This beautiful space is our sanctuary- a place of warmth, rest, and creativity, where each woman is held in both privacy and sisterhood.

Why This Retreat? Why Now?

In a world that feels increasingly unpredictable, many of us are sensing that our life-force energy has been stretched thin.

This retreat is an invitation:

  • to slow down

  • to reconnect

  • to remember yourself

  • to feel your soul spark again

This is for the woman who knows she needs rejuvenation- not as luxury, but as life-giving necessity. Our international team brings together artists, visionaries, and compassionate space holders who are here to guide, nurture, and co-create a transformative experience alongside you. This is more than a retreat. It’s a pilgrimage back to your own inner landscape.

Textile art as soul craft- creating our dolls, felting our stories.
