Founded
We are nestled inland from the coast, with views of Annagh mountain and rolling hills, not far from Croghan mountain. A stream flows at the edge of the property, and beautiful walks in local forestry begin at our door.
Nearby is the sacred well Tober Patrick, and the hill of Tara. Danu Lodge rests on a four-acre site of beautiful gardens and natural fields — we are dedicated to helping restore nature and to the return of oak and other native forestry.
"We offer what Danu herself offers — recovery and renewal, with a sense of free flowing and relinquishing of what is no longer needed."
Earth
Native oak, herb gardens, walks at the door.
Fire
Sweat lodge ceremony in Lakota & Celtic ways.
Air
Celtic Holotropic Retreats — the medicine of breath itself.
Spirit
Beneath Annagh mountain, beside the sacred well.
Life at the Lodge
A place to simply sit.
Between sessions, guests wander the four acres, read in the garden, or take an hour on the swing bench with the hills for company. There is no schedule to keep — only what the day asks of you.
The Land Around Us
Wicklow and Wexford, through the seasons.
Old woodland, mountain water and long evening light — the country that surrounds the lodge and shapes the work held here.
Sacred Space
Where the inner work
is held.
Therapy rooms, ceremonial space, and four acres of gardens — tended carefully, warmed by woodstoves in winter, opened to birdsong in summer. Every detail in service of one thing: that you arrive, exhale, and find yourself again.
