Reconnect & Rejuvenate Weekend Retreat
Join us at this magical 2 day retreat in Cork, Ireland. Reconnect and rejuvenate your Inner Goddess, wisdom and values through the healing power of the horses. Lead by Transformational Coach Noreen O’Neill Roche, we hold sacred space for women to reignite their sense of purpose, passion and playfulness and immerse themselves in Mother Nature. Meet like-minded Goddesses at this transformational retreat and leave feeling recharged, reignited and empowered.
“Getting to know the Goddess. Sacred woman, you are incredibly wise. Now is the time to embrace your spiritual wisdom. You have all the wisdom you need deep inside you. All you have to do is believe in yourself.”
At Epona Retreat Centre we guide & support a small group of women to heal past wounds, connect with their inner soul, and create positive change through reconnection and horse therapy. Throughout this retreat you will deepen your connection with self, with others and with the horses.
The horses mirror what’s happening from moment to moment.  They not only reflect indifference in emotions and intention, they highlight unrecognised strengths and improvements in people as well, providing self awareness, the most difficult aspect of any mindfulness practice.
When you go deep within your soul you are reconnected with your true self and healing takes place. When you leave Epona you are processing what went on here at the retreat. The outcome is ongoing.

Relax in the outdoor hot tub
At this retreat, we want you all to have FUN! Play is essential for living a wholehearted life. When we play, we connect with our creativity and innovation. Play also helps us connect in social settings, releases stress, improves mental agility, and boosts our productivity. All of these help us to reach mind states that are similar to those of horses.
Apart from being a lot of fun, soaking in a hot tub, especially outside in nature, brings us many health benefits. One of the most obvious benefits of a hot tub is the potential to help ease the tensions of the day. The soothing effect of the warm water helps relieve physical, emotional, and mental stress. It also aids with muscle relaxation and pain relief, which leads to improved sleep.
If we are relaxed, we allow our creative spark to light a fire underneath us. These sparks can flourish into brilliant ideas, discovering hidden talents and leading to personal development.
So bring your swimsuit and let the fun begin!!!!!!
Full Moon Magic
The Beaver Super Moon, falling on 15th November 2024, brings stability, determination, and focus in our lives. Preparing us for the hard work, and gathering resources, much like beavers do as they prepare for winter. The energy of this Full Moon is all about building a strong foundation for the future.
This is a time to align our heartbeat with the heartbeat of the Earth. We can do this by spending time in nature, listening to our own heart, embracing any heart awakenings that arise, and working with the energies of the Taurus Full Moon.
Keeping your heart open allows whatever needs to come and whatever needs to go in your life.
The Full Moon November 2024 is a potent time for reflection, release, and preparation.

What are people saying about my workshop?
Noreen is a wonderful person and what she offers is an experience of authenticity, self discovery, self trust and most importantly self love. I wouldn’t be where I am now without this retreat.
I had the most wonderful nurturing weekend with Noreen Roche and some other wonderful women at the Epona Retreat centre for the Rediscover your Inner Child weekend retreat.  It was the perfect gift to myself, just when I felt the need to recharge my energy levels and some much needed self-care. Noreen has created such a beautiful space, where we were invited into her home for the weekend, grounding ourselves with Tai Chi on the dewy grass, guided meditations, Yoga, Artwork, beautiful food and of course working with her beautiful horses. It will be an experience that will stay with me for a long time. I am a huge advocate of Self-Care and nurturing of our Body, Mind and Spirit, giving ourselves the space and time to truly connect with our true selves. By doing so, we can give so much more to others whilst ensuring we also nurture ourselves. Thank you Noreen. Wishing you much love and light, Valerie
I had a spiritual awakening and given messages from the horses and learned I needed to listen to my Soul. Linda
