This Overnight Getaway is designed for women who are seeking deeper meaning and purpose in their everyday lives. It’s a chance to step away from the busyness of life and connect with others on a similar journey of personal growth, all within a calm, welcoming atmosphere.
Together, we’ll explore honest, relatable, and thought-provoking real-life themes, providing practical insights you can incorporate into your daily routine.
The experience is as nourishing as it is reflective. You’ll be looked after with the warm hospitality of the Lismullin Institute, with delicious, freshly prepared meals, beautiful grounds for a walk, and your private ensuite room. It’s the perfect balance of inspiration, connection, and rest.

This is a question we’re often asked, and the answer is NO – you don’t have to be.
The themes we explore during the overnight are relatable to women from diverse backgrounds and beliefs. They’re mostly approached through a philosophical and or professional lens, with examples that are easy to follow and connect with. Plus, all sessions are optional, so you can decide whether to join in or take some time for yourself.
“It’s a lovely rest and a break, very peaceful surroundings, beautiful location and great company.”
