๐ŸŒฟ Join us for the Boyne Valley Celtic Camino ๐ŸŒฟ

Weโ€™ll walk a stunning 25km loop through riverside paths, woodland trails, and historic landmarks like Old Mellifont Abbey and the Boyne Obelisk. ๐ŸŒŠ๐ŸŒณ

This isnโ€™t just a walk, itโ€™s part of the official Camino de Santiago journey. Completing this stage in Ireland earns you a Celtic Camino Compostela, which can be linked with the Camino Inglรฉs in Spain to qualify for the Compostela in Santiago. ๐Ÿšโœจ

A day of movement, heritage, and connection, together weโ€™ll walk in the footsteps of pilgrims past and present. ๐Ÿ’ซ

๐Ÿ“ Starting in Drogheda at St. Peter's Church
๐Ÿ“… Sunday 19th October @ 9.30am

Looking forward to seeing you there!

Hey beautiful people! ๐Ÿ’œ

To make up for our last event being cancelled, we're going full steam ahead with a good, daycent hike up through and around Slieve Foye Forestry. It's one of my favourite hikes and has a beautful array of scenery. For part of the hike we're also going to try our hand a bit of forest bathing too ๐ŸŒณ

Come rain or shine, we're going to embrace whatever the elements might bring! This time of year teaches us to harness the energy that the summer gave us to pick ourselves up over the darker months when things seem a lot more dreary. There's still plenty of fun to be had, you just need to be willing to have it! ๐Ÿฅณ

Here are the deets:

๐Ÿ“ What?
Slieve Foye Loop Carlingford
Roughly 8km
Level - Moderate, can be challenging in points
Approx 3.5/4 hours

PLUS Guided Forest Bathing taster session

Optional sauna and sea dip at extra cost afterwards in Hot Box Saunas Carlingford

Water โœ…
Healthy snacks and lunch โœ…
Something to sit on โœ…

An open mind + willingness to connect โœ…

๐Ÿ”ฅโ„๏ธThere are sooooo many benefits to contrast therapy, not just physical but mental too!

Pushing through that mental barrier of discomfort, whether it's hot or cold, resets your nervous system and allows you to face tough situations in your life with a lot more ease. ๐Ÿ’ช

Feeling nervous about sending that text? Just think back to the last time you threw yourself into 4 degree water and it won't seem so bad! ๐Ÿ˜†

๐Ÿ‘€ Watch this space for some upcoming soul-nourishing, sauna based events that centres around honouring your body and your nervous system as well as having the craic while you're at it!

There are soooo many benefits of being nature!

In a time where our lives are getting more and more demanding, where everyone is chasing highs, it's so important that we unplug and reset.

In Japan, doctors prescribe forest bathing to help reduce cortisol, improve mood, and enhance overall well-being. Research also indicates potential benefits for blood pressure and heart rate.

So what are you waiting for? Go hug a tree today! ๐ŸŒณ

In a time where weโ€™re more โ€œconnectedโ€ than ever but still feeling isolated, community is medicine.
When you surround yourself with people who just get it, everything shifts.

You laugh more
You feel heard
You support and are supported
You heal in good company

Being part of a community reminds us that weโ€™re not meant to do this life thing alone โ€“ especially during the tough days.

Come as you are. Weโ€™ve got you.
