Wholistic Women expanded our travel to Enchanted Ireland, our first women’s international retreat. We got immersed in a land rich in ancient history, folklore, mythology, countless shades of green, stunning natural beauty, forest sound healing, traditional Celtic music with meaningful ceremonies and created magical memories.

Our destination retreats have been enjoyed in Soulful Sedona, Arizona since 2020, where magic and mystery consistently happen. In 2026, we continued the magic by transforming our destination retreat from the vortex in the desert to the vortex across the sea!  Ireland is my best friend, Joanne’s, most favorite place in the world, as Sedona, Arizona is mine. She has been part of all the Sedona retreats and part of all my life since childhood. One of her favorite people, Nikki Roberts, who lives in the west of Ireland, joined the Sedona sisterhood in 2023 and then we joined her in Ireland in 2024. This is when our energy exploded and the magical planning began!  We are thrilled to have Nikki, a certified holistic coach with Celtic wisdom, guide us to the sacred sites, partner with us and curate a meaningful, connective journey like no other in the Emerald Isles. Our spiritual and creative Wholistic Women Living Retreat was filled with the camaraderie of like-minded sisters becoming immersed in the Irish culture, traditional music, tales of Irish legends, sound healing and the mystical nature of extraordinary sacred locations.

Here’s what some of our Gaelic Gals had to say about Ireland Enchantment 2026:

“I feel more connected to other women on the grow and to my female ancestors, the land itself, rocks (and the energy they hold), the sea, the color green and to rain in all forms. Treat yourself. The land, the people, the culture, the leadership team have gifts in store for you.”

~ Carol D., Middletown, MD

“Ireland has always been on my travel bucket list. After attending the Wholistic Women’s Retreat in Sedona over the years, I thought traveling to Ireland with my sisterhood would be a wonderful way to experience the country while sharing the journey with an amazing group of women. I’m incredibly grateful for the opportunity and to have been surrounded by such an inspiring group of women. Each journey leaves me a little more confident, resilient, and open to new experiences.”

~Lia M., Chicago, IL

“The Ireland Enchantment Retreat was nothing short of AMAZING!  Our accommodations were perfect and the logistics ran super smoothly.  We saw so many beautiful and historical sites… all interpreted fantastically by our local guide.  Meaningful activities plus loads of fun with bonus entertainment to boot!” 

~Susie R., Boston, MA
