The Well-being Experience at Juniper Barn

Welcome to Juniper Barn and the experience of a retreat in just one day. Tanya, Dorothy, Chris & I are so excited to offer these mid-week retreat days that are a feast for all the senses.

Embracing the essence of our five senses we explore how we connect with touch, hear, see, smell and taste and how they interweave with the five elements of Fire, Earth, Water, Air & Ether. A day of yoga, chanting, pranayama, mindful walking, reflective journaling, guided shamanic meditations and nourishing food, this is an invitation to simply come along, rest back and rejuvenate yourself.

Thursday 23rd May 2024 or Wednesday 14th August 2024 at Juniper Barn, Ballymote, Sligo from 9:30am-5pm


We gather at 9:30am for a welcome drink and chat before moving into our meditation and yoga practice at 10am to awaken our senses of touch, hearing and seeing. Brunch follows with a full vegetarian menu catering to our sense of taste and smell. The day is centred around exploring with each of our senses and nurturing ourselves through these connection. There is a curiosity with the day as we journey what it is to be well within ourselves when life can feel overwhelming. A day away when we take time out and allow ourselves to drop can feel like a week'-long holiday. We come together to connect, share, breathe and enjoy time in a stunning place surrounded by beautiful people.

As a way of ending our day, we will come into our yin practice before closing with a sumptuous meal crafted by Tanya.

All are welcome to join us on this mid-week day retreat connecting us to the elements and our senses.

A few words from our guests…

“There are no words to describe the experience of my first yoga retreat with Aoife.

Everything was so well put together- from the stunning venue, to the amazing food.

The whole day was a sensory experience, opening myself up to new ways of just being. As always the yoga was amazing but there were so many other elements to make this a truly unique experience.”

- Jane


“I’m so glad I did the the retreat on Wednesday. It was a really special venue and day and I felt emotional too when you came in to start the day. I have been working flat out since May and needed an all body experience and got that on the day.

I really enjoyed the retreat the food and music was fabulous and everything was so well planned. Very professional and a great experience with lovely like minded people. After the day I felt rejuvenated and relaxed. And I have been telling all my clients all about it.”
