Deepening Into Her -A Silence & Darkness Retreat For Women

The journey into Winter,into darkness,into silence,into emptiness ,into Her is often one we try to avoid until dragged “kicking screaming” to the Underworld ……like the journey of Innana we too can enter into the mystery ,willingly ,to meet ourselves through Her.She is the darkness & the silence.She is the emptiness & the fullness.She is the everything & the nothing.She is us & we are Her.The Beginning & The End.

Eventually the continously seeking stops & we deepen into what's already here-This beautiful, simple life in all it's chaos.This beautiful human experience.

Journeying with the 7 feminine arceypes.

You arrive late Friday afternoon as the day turns to night and prepare to enter into a weekend of silence & practices.

“Sometimes just being in each others conscious presence is enough to rebirth & awaken us to our true nature ”

 

Hi, Im Geraldine

Having spent many years facilitating women's circles and events I found through my own healing journey that the space I craved and needed so much for my integration and recovery was one of quietness and one where I didn't need to talk or listen or do anything only BE.

Inspired by a rewilding venture and original theme for this retreat I found that Rewilding simply means to allow something to return to its original wildness  and that is something I found that was naturally occurring for me as I healed and cleared my own wounds and conditioning.That Wildness is my fire,my passion,my heart.Its the part of me that feels best when I'm immersed in nature or in the cold water.That fire I tried to quench was the fire I needed to live.

Sometimes we just need space especially if we have been on self enquiry & healing journeys for many years. A space in silence and part darkness to come away from the stimuli of seeing & hearing outwardly to the inner world of the sounds of silence. To become the witness.To slow down.

A space for the feminine,to experience the richness of Her.

The underworld is not always dark & treacherous but can be dark ,nurturing, enlightening & full of mystery & wonder.”

Feeling women really needed some place to recover from life at times, I began to receive some beautiful inspiration and guidance around creating something wonderful rooted in the breath and silence. I began to experience life’s mystery in a different way to before.

This is a space for us to be seen,heard,felt,witnessed,held,supported and loved without having to open our mouth....only our minds & hearts. A journey into the space beyond our stories …the space between our breath and between our thoughts.The space where your true self resides.

“The most holy of places are just behind the Veil “

These are my new Silent & Darkness Retreats.

I invite you to join me.

“This….is the path of the priestess”

“We stand together,in silence & presence "

Kind Words From Beautiful People

  • “Geraldine has been and continues to be a great mentor for me. Her amazing women's circles, retreats and individual breathwork sessions have transformed my life and allow me to stand in my power. Breathwork has absolutely been mind-blowing for me and my healing journey. The beauty of attending Rebirthing Breathwork Ireland is that Geraldine is honest, true and so down to earth. She holds space for you and opens your eyes to look deep inside yourself and compassionately shows you where patterns which no longer serve you, may be occurring in your life. I am forever grateful to have met this beautiful soul and will continue to attend events as each provide magnificent insights and healing.”

  • Geraldine and the impact she has had on me and my journey through womanhood? woah! Where to begin.

    When I met Geraldine first all those years ago I won't lie I was quite intimidated by her but so drawn to her. Drawn to her because she has this raw, no bullshit and loving leadership energy all encompassed into every cell of her being. You may get yourself to the door of your own awakening but I guarantee you that Geraldine will get you to open that door, travel through it and not leave you stranded inside in the depths of the underworld. She is the beacon on your ship through life. She calls you out when you're lying to everyone including yourself.

    Geraldine is the person you come to when you're tired of just surviving and want to start living. Geraldine has the heart and compassion of Quan Yin but will pull you out of a cycle of self pity with the force of Kali x

    She is the reason I know the true meaning of the feminine and I am eternally grateful that we crossed paths”

  • Attending Geraldine's Silent Women’s Retreat has been a transformative experience. The group was small with only 8 which made it extra special. Ger created a safe, nurturing space that allowed us to fully disconnect, reflect, and reconnect with ourselves on a deeper level. From the serene setting to the thoughtfully curated sessions, the weekend was crafted with care and intention. Ger's attention and guidance provided during moments of transition was gentle yet profound, and the silent atmosphere fostered a powerful sense of clarity and peace. I leave feeling refreshed, empowered and deeply grateful for yet another transformative experience in the hands of Geraldine Ahern. Highly recommend for anyone wishing to disconnect from the world and tune into their inner selves.

  • This retreat was absolutely stunning.I didn't realise how much I needed the silent aspect.Not sharing about each experience was new to me but Geraldine's encouragement to allow everything to go deeper so we could expand wider was welcomed.Geraldines intuition & her ability to move with the energy as it rises & changes is phenomenal.Ive never reached such depths.Thank you Geraldine.
