This promises to be a very special and unique weekend immersing you in Celtic Spirituality. Situated in the 'middle of nowhere' Celtic Druid Temple is a place to unwind from it all, eat good food, breath fresh air and find out what Celtic Druidism is really all about. This weekend is open to all those seeking an Irish Celtic spiritual path, one that is rooted in it's connection to this beautiful land we live on. Over the weekend Con and Niamh will introduce you to the basics of Celtic Druidism, and the elements that define it.

The Realm of Sky

We will explore the concept of 'real' time and learn how we define our cycle of the year by the moon, sun and stars. We will look at the concept of the power of three, it began with our ancestors and continues today; our world is divided into three realms, the realm of sea, sky and land and each of these realms are mirrored inside of us. When we are fully connected to the realms outside of us we can achieve balance inside. This weekend will focus on the Realm of Sky and our connection to all that is above us.

The two days will be a mix of practical activities, meditations, energetic exercises and information sessions. You can take this weekend as a stand alone weekend retreat or invest in all three for the full appreciation of the three realms.

Organic Local Food-A Body, Mind and Spirit Retreat

The course takes place here in Roscommon, at Celtic Druid Temple, accommodation and food is provided. You will be treated to fresh organic local food provided by our neighbours farms and you will drink fresh water from a local holy well. Not only will you treat your mind and spirit your body will thank you for this weekend of Celtic Spirituality too! You'll be living off grid for the weekend, in a renovated 250 year old house that's snug and warm and generates all it's own electricity with a wind turbine and solar panel and produces all it's own heat for the house and hot water from local sustainable fuel sources.

"Thanks for sharing your space, time and wonderful selves with me this weekend. I've come away with lots of inspiration, and information and really enjoyed it all." - From Sophia

Family Open Days

An open day at the Temple is a time for just having a look and maybe asking a few questions, it's a chance to chill out with us for a couple of hours.

We start in the car park, sitting by the newly planted mallow beds and wait for every one to arrive. Once everyone has their coats and boots on we start the guided tour. On our tour we visit the Power House........that's what the post man calls it...........it's where our turbine and solar panels feed into a bank of batteries and supply the house and sheds with electricity.

After the Power House, we move on to the Fort, this is a large enclosure which during the Summer months hosts our Medieval Camp, we'll tell you all about it on the day!

Through the west gate into our developing Blackthorn i.e. Sloe Orchard, a quick stop to admire our mini Quartz Dolmen, then on to the first of many Nature Corridors. When we first moved here the farm had been left idle for many years, the hedges had started to move in on the fields, which had been used for grazing cattle, since we're not cattle farmers we thought we'd help Nature along by increasing the width of the hedgerows. Can you hear the birds?

On to the Native forest, approx 9,000 Native trees were planted in Jan 2014. Here you'll see lots of young trees with maybe some quartz egg rocks at their base, this where the local school have visited and each child picked a stone and placed it at a tree, they come back every year to check on it's growth.

After checking out the Trees we make our way along the tree line and up past the willow circle, it's one of many willow experiments around the farm, when we go to the Reed Bed system you'll see the Willow Fedge.....the Reed Beds are where all our waste water from the sinks, showers and toilets go.....it's actually quite pretty, with yellow flag iris, reeds and ten foot tall willow growing in the ponds.........anyway back to the willow circle......who knows what it might be when you arrive.... a cave, a dome......

We finish the tour in the Round House. This is our Temple, built by volunteer labour and materials. It seats about thirty and currently has one little wren nesting in the last years swallows nest.

In the Round House we'll give you a brief introduction to Celtic Spirituality and how we live our every day lives Spiritually focused. We'll also tell you a bit about the different ceremonies that we facilitate both in the Temple and all around the country.

Hopefully you'll have enjoyed the talk, the walk in Nature, the relaxed space that we hold and you never know you might just visit us again. See you soon......

Open Days: Sat 7th May, Sat 9th July and Sat 1st Oct. These days are free and open to all, membership is not required. Open at 3pm, guided tour at 3.30pm--- all welcome (no pets please.....this is in respect for the animals already living here)
