The Open Your Divine Heart Retreat

May 23-25, 2025 | County Wicklow, Ireland

We all carry past hurts - from our own life experiences to those passed down through our ancestors, and they can weigh heavy on the heart.

On May 23-25, 2025 we'll embark on a three-day retreat in County Wicklow, Ireland, where we'll work on identifying and releasing emotions like grief and anger so we can open our hearts for more joy, love and acceptance.

Facilitated by medical doctor, shaman and energetic healer, Dr Anthony Rafferty, we'll go on a mind, body and soul approach to helping women heal and find their voice. You'll walk away with the awareness of what it means to be in conscious and fulfilling relationships, along with practices for cultivating more love and compassion - for yourself and for others.

The Retreat Experience

Dr Anthony will take a special group of women on a magical healing journey to shine light on the shadows that exist within all of us, release stories that no longer serve and step together into a new energetically refreshed you. What to expect:

• Heart-centered healing: Trauma release using ancient wisdom and intuitive practices to help you release deep-rooted personal, familial and ancestral pain and trauma from the heart space.
• Embodiment practices: Shamanic breathwork journeys, meditation, embodiment and ceremony, held in a safe, intimate setting with other women.
• Emotional processing: Journalling, sharing and time for integration - either alone or in community with your fellow retreat participants. 

Available to add on:

• Individual blood analysis: This involves bloods being taken on retreat and results and recommendations provided via a 30-min online consultation 1-2 weeks later. We believe bloods are a critical indicator of what is going on in the body from a physical, emotional and energetic perspective, and a unique part of our retreat experience. It is, however, optional and available to buy after you've checked-out or by emailing [email protected].
