Nature, Movement & Stillness

Lucille Cassidy

Where movement meets meaning, and nature holds the rest.
Led by physiotherapist and holistic wellbeing professional, Lucille Cassidy, these retreats are thoughtfully designed to help you realign, restore, and reconnect; with yourself, with others, and with the natural world around you.

From Reformer Pilates retreats to seasonal women’s gatherings and coastal wellness weekends, each experience blends mindful movement, nature immersion, and deep rest. Set in the wild beauty of Donegal, you’ll find space to breathe, strengthen your body, calm your mind, and return home to yourself.

Whether you’re seeking restoration, inspiration, or transformation, you’re in the right place.

A note from Lucille

“These retreats were born from my own journey of healing and wellbeing. I bring together everything I’ve learned as a physiotherapist, Pilates teacher, Yoga Teacher and wellbeing professional to create spaces that truly support you … body, mind, heart and soul. I cannot wait to welcome you!”
