We’re lucky. We live in a time of constant information, connectivity and abundance. But, there’s a problem. Often we feel stressed, rundown and sick.
Often we struggle with anxiety, fear and pain. Often, the grind of daily life can be too much.
Deep inside us though is the answer to these problems. We can unlock our potential, improving our health, happiness and strength, by learning the Wim Hof Method.
During this five-night retreat, you will learn how to:
Breathe fully and deeply, improving your health, giving you more energy and reducing stress
Improve your focus and determination, helping you explore and eventually master your body and mind
Use gradual exposure to the cold to strengthen your immune system, balance hormone levels and elevate your mood
Use nature (the cold, your breath, the sea) to dramatically improve your health, happiness and strength

This retreat probably changed our life, because now breathing and cold are part of our day to day life. We already can feel the benefits from it. Niall and Michelle are so inspiring, supportive and caring.
Not only that, you will be immersed in the magnificent and rugged landscape of the Wild Atlantic Way. You will learn, practise and test the full range of the Wim Hof Method techniques against the raw, natural elements. You’ll swim in the wild Atlantic, you’ll hike the Cliffs of Moher and have time to relax in our beautifully appointed retreat centre.
But there is more…
You’ll learn to find comfort in that discomfort. We all face difficulties. During this retreat, you’ll learn how to relax under these pressures. You’ll learn how to find a sense of peace and control amongst the chaos. You’ll learn to conquer the things you struggle with. You’ll learn to conquer these cliffs.
Benefits of this five-night retreat:
Improved health and mood
Increased knowledge of the method and yourself
You’ll engrain the method more deeply into your everyday life
It will give you practical tools that you can use to replenish, heal and recover
Opportunity to discuss your experiences of the method and learn from others

You’ll sleep in luxurious accommodation in this peaceful and restful part of County Clare. You’ll eat delicious, plentiful, nutritious and locally-grown vegetarian food. You’ll soak in the outdoor cedar-wood hot tub. You’ll also enjoy the outdoor sauna. You’ll relax by the fire. Most importantly, you’ll feel like you have retreated from the daily grind for these replenishing days and nights. You’ll return rejuvenated, empowered and ready to take on the world one breath at a time!
