Wellness Retreat

Summer Wellness Weekend at the Royal Irish Academy of Music

Description

Join us for a rejuvenating Wellness Retreat, where you’ll immerse yourself in a series of enriching workshops and practices designed to rejuvenate your mind, body, and spirit. These wellness sessions, running from Saturday to Monday, offers a perfect balance of relaxation, self-care, and personal growth.

Throughout the weekend, facilitators will lead talks on improving self-care, stress management, and creating healthy, sustainable habits in your daily life. You will also engage in mindful practices such as meditation, tai chi, and African drumming, all carefully chosen to help you reconnect with yourself and alleviate tension.

To end the retreat, we will guide you through a soothing sound meditation, providing a calming close to your experience, leaving you feeling refreshed and centered. A nourishing lunch will be provided each day, ensuring you are well-fueled for each session.
