The Deerstone, Ireland:
A Sanctuary Beside Glendalough’s Sacred Vortex
Next events:
Nestled near Glendalough, one of Ireland's most revered spiritual sites, the Deerstone retreat center offers an experience deeply rooted in the monastic and mystical heritage of the Wicklow countryside. This area, steeped in centuries of spiritual devotion, holds a palpable energy—a place where the veil between worlds feels thin, inviting a profound connection with the natural and spiritual realms. Glendalough has always been a place of reflection and renewal, a space to reconnect with the wisdom that transcends time.
The Deerstone is a modern sanctuary, crafted with meticulous care to support the depth of inner work we engage in at Holotropic Wisdom. From the beautiful rotunda overlooking a running stream, to the luxurious shepherd’s sheds, saunas, and plunge pools, every detail here is designed to offer not just comfort, but a true sense of sanctuary. The food is prepared with exquisite care, and the environment is high-end, embracing a level of luxury that reinforces our commitment to creating a safe, nurturing space where participants feel held from the moment they arrive.
We chose this space because the comfort and beauty it provides are not luxuries for their own sake but essential elements of the setting that allow participants to let go, feel safe, and open to the journey inward. For those who join us at the Deerstone, the environment itself becomes part of the transformative process, supporting each step of reconnecting with your inner healer.
