Light Up 2022

MM

Overall 5/5

An absolutely beautiful healing and life changing experience, excellently planned and delivered, all needs were met in a safe space to facilitate healing of deep emotional wounds. Fiona and Ciaran so walk the walk and are amazing role models for living in joy and in the present.

Overall: 5/5

Wow, the retreat exceeded my expectations in every way. On a practical level, it is not often that you can say that the photos in the Ad are exactly what the place are like. I just couldn’t have imagined that there was a place as beautiful as this. It was so amazing. And as for lighting us up……. 5 doesn’t even begin to be high enough of a score.

Overall: 5/5

Very well organised beforehand and throughout.  I thought the Zoom calls beforehand were a great idea to break the ice so that it was not too daunting when we all met up in person.  Fiona and Ciaran were both approachable and made sure everyone was happy which made the experience very relaxed and carefree.”
