Clare Island, Co. Mayo, Ireland & Inis Mór Island, Co. Galway, Ireland

8 day Writing, Myth, Yoga and Music Retreat set on two ancient islands off the West Coast of Ireland.

This mythical adventure is for the Writer/Explorer that wants to discover and develop their inherent creativity through creative writing, myth, movement and music as they explore personal life experiences and learn how to translate those experiences into writing Fictional Memoir stories.

Throughout the workshop participants explore various aspects of myth – through folklore, ancient traditions and the principle of how myth plays a significant part in our personal life stories.

Participants learn to identify with their personal myth and how to weave and integrate this facet of their lives into a premise for story development.

The Journey
You will be enthralled by guided walks to ancient sites on both islands.

The workshop includes a mix of simple yoga postures and music to focus the mind and breath.

Using mythological stories from the Irish and Indian traditions you connect to your essential self as these ancient stories, chants and melodies help to open your heart and mind to its full potential.

The writing element of the workshop shows you how to tap into your well of memory to evoke life experiences and how to translate and write these experiences as Fictional Memoir stories.
