Eat, Learn, Grow : Finding Purpose, Finding Me
Join us for a 5-day retreat in the peaceful setting of Kylemore, Connemara.
Our programme seamlessly fuses the timeless techniques of yoga with the modern principles of Relational Intelligence, Trust, Communication, Resilience, and Career and Life Anchors.
The retreat is thoughtfully guided by husband-and-wife team, Dermot and Rosemarie Ryan. Yoga and Breathwork teacher, Dermot, after qualifying in India continued over ten years to deepen his practice in India, often accompanied by Rosemarie, a Career & Organisational Development specialist. They quickly recognised the potential harmony between the discipline of yoga and Rosemarie's area of expertise. Over the years, the integration evolved. As Dermot recalls, “Rosemarie would often return from her workshops excited to tell me how she had shared and applied a particular Yoga Principle or technique to give participants a more holistic experience of topics she was facilitating ”. Eventually, this mutual exchange of teachings led to their collaboration and creation of the "Eat, Learn, Grow" programme. Their combined work is an alliance of esoteric wisdom and everyday living, bridging the gap between ancient and modern solutions.
This programme is designed for anyone at a crossroads, seeking time and space for self-reflection, contemplating their purpose, relationships, and ways to elevate their life to the next level. Whether you're an eighteen-year-old on a college sabbatical, an executive, a professional planning a career comeback, or a retiree pondering the next chapter; or perhaps you feel you missed your calling, or you're a couple wanting to navigate a significant milestone together, the skills and practices imparted by this programme are universally beneficial. As Rosemarie explains, “People are going to leave with a few tools that are going to make them feel a lot more equipped to recognise their purpose. We welcome participants with an open mind, ready to learn, share, and transform.”
The retreat will take place in the unique setting of ND Kyelmore on the grounds of Kylemore Abbey. This beautiful 1,000-acre estate, rich in history and tranquillity, has been home to a Benedictine order of nuns for a century. Participants will reside in single ensuite rooms, with meals provided by the onsite dining services.
Please note that, in keeping with Sivananda philosophy of “Proper Diet”, all meals are vegetarian!
