Step away from the noise of daily life and into a weekend of making, singing, and deep rest. This creative retreat in the Sligo mountains is a chance to reconnect with your hands, your voice, and yourself — in a small, welcoming group.
Reconnect & Harmonise
A residential weekend retreat of singing, weaving, and coming home to yourself
Imagine waking beneath mountain skies, hands wrapped around a warm cup, woodsmoke drifting softly through the morning air — and two full days ahead with nothing asked of you but to make, to sing, and to rest.
This is the retreat you’ve been quietly longing for.
A rare and intimate gathering in a beautiful eco roundhouse in the Sligo mountains — a place that feels outside of time — held by people who care deeply about the old ways: craft, voice, fire, and the company of kindred souls.
Evenings gather around the fire — outdoors beneath the sky if weather allows.
Dates

Arrival: 4:00pm Friday

Departure: 5:00pm Sunday

What Awaits You

Weave a basket with your own hands
Guided by Kate Burrows, master basket maker of Westcountry Willows, you’ll learn the ancient craft of willow weaving. Step by step, you’ll create beautiful, functional baskets — shaped by your own hands, from the land itself.
You’ll leave with two baskets you’ve made yourself.
Sing songs of belonging
Tembre, an experienced song leader, will gently open a space for shared voice and connection. Through simple, powerful songs rooted in community, you’ll rediscover the ease and joy of singing.
No experience needed — just your breath and your willingness.

Evenings by the fire
As the light fades, we gather. Fire, tea, stories, and songs — and the kind of slow, unhurried conversation that feels increasingly rare.

Morning yoga & nourishing food
Each day begins with optional gentle yoga with Susan to ground and open the body.
You’ll be nourished throughout with:

Cooked breakfasts

Homemade lunches

A warming Saturday dinner

All prepared with care.

Your Guides

Kate Burrows · Willow Weaving
Kate Burrows is a master basket maker and co-founder of Westcountry Willows, based in County Roscommon in the heart of Ireland. She grows her own basket willow from the ground up — planting, managing, and harvesting the rods that find their way into every piece she makes and every workshop she runs. That connection to the raw material runs through everything she teaches. Kate has worked internationally, bringing Irish willow craft to new audiences and new places, and her teaching reflects a breadth of experience that goes far beyond any single tradition. Her approach is patient, generous, and rooted in real craft knowledge built over many years. Whether you’re picking up willow for the first time or deepening a skill you already have, you’re learning from someone who has lived every stage of this tradition.

Tembre · Song Circles
An experienced community songleader who creates a warm, welcoming space for all
Voiced & abilities. She will bring a basketful of community’s songs & original songs inspired by the Earth, creating with our hands, heart and connection to community. Tembre inspires you to reconnect with the singing you were born to do. All songs taught by ear in a relaxed and inclusive way. No one sings by themselves. We will sing nourishing and inspiring circular songs in a collective while weaving You are in safe singing hands

The Venue
Set in the wild, myth-rich landscape of County Sligo, Brú Moytura is a truly unique ecolodge.
This circular, cairn-inspired roundhouse overlooks Lough Arrow and is surrounded by ancient mountains and archaeological sites. A central fire anchors the space, with cosy sleeping nooks, light-filled gathering areas, and quiet corners for rest.
Built in harmony with the land, it offers a rare kind of shelter — one that invites you to slow down, reconnect, and feel part of something older.
