The Vitalist Circle retreats
The Vitalist Circle retreat is a great opportunity to do a full week of cleansing detox under the supervision of master herbalists. Each person’s cleanse will be tailored to where they are in their health journey. The cleanse is made easy with the implementation of natural therapeutics such as a sound bath, drum circle, hydrotherapy, yoga, nature walks and community spirit. You will leave with the knowledge to forage and prepare your own herbs and you will learn skills in nutrition and making your own probiotics. We help people get in touch with their emotions through journaling, shamanic cleansing, journeying and meditation.
Living food is at the heart of the Vitalist Circle retreat and aims to nourish and return the body to health. Living foods are natural foods, as close to their original pure form as possible to retain all their active ingredients and nutrients. This includes whole fruits and vegetables, fermented fruits and vegetables, sprouted nuts and seeds and whole grains. These foods are rich in inflammation-fighting antioxidants, phytochemicals and active enzymes. Living foods help your body produce and activate its own naturally occurring enzymes that are necessary for hormone production and chemical reactions in the body to keep it operating optimally. Fermented foods, like raw kombucha, are considered alive because they are packed with living probiotics and prebiotics to promote healthy bacteria in your gut, where 70% of your immune system lives.

Sound bath
Sound baths are a wonderful therapy to accompany a kidney cleanse as there is a strong connection between the kidneys and the ears. We have a sound healing specialist Dee O’ Conor facilitating the sound baths at our Vitalist Circle retreats.
Fermentation workshop
Learn how to make your own healthy porbiotic drinks, kombucha, Apple cider vinegar and delicious kimchi and tomato salsa.
Drumming workshop
Drumming or a drum circle is a great way of calming the mind and releasing any built up liver energy this is why we brought this wonderful activity into our Vitalist Circle retreat as it accompanies a liver flush greatly. Deirdre, Brian, Sean and Sheamus are part of a drum circle in Thurles and they volunteer their knowledge and drums to us for a wonderful night of drumming.
