Testimonials

  • Still reaping the benefits from the superb zen experience in the stunning setting of Anam Kara, Glendalough Estate. Welcomed by the wonderful hostess Sophie who shared her beautiful home and visions with us as well as serving the most delicious lunch. The amazing Keri guided and educated us through somatic movement and rolled our tension and aches away with ball work. The experience was sealed with positive affirmations and a really unique sound bath experience with the lovely Robyn. Roll on the next retreat!

  • After the most beautiful drive through the Wicklow countryside I arrived at the grounds of Glendalough House. From the moment I entered the historic buildings that are home to Anam Kara the atmosphere felt calm and welcoming. The setting for the retreat was beautifully laid out in earthy tones with the added warmth of sheep skin rugs.
    The day involved a combination of ball therapy, somatic movement and sound bath session. An additional bonus was time in nature around the grounds, the host Sophie, spoke passionately about her plans for Anam Kara which will add to this go to destination of Wellness.
    A space was created where I felt comfortable slowing down and focusing on myself.
    I’d highly recommend this retreat to anyone looking for a meaningful break and a chance to reconnect, both mentally and physicallly. My first of many visits!

  • I really enjoyed my day in Glendalough House for the Roll and Reset retreat lead by Keri and hosted by Sophie.
    The “roll” was so beneficial, I felt like I had a new spine. The whole day, nature walk, the room, roll, lunch and sound bath were exactly what I needed.

  • Roll and Reset led by Keri Gaffney in Glendalough House was a most relaxing day. Keri is a wonderful instructor who brings her lovely personality into her work. Venue was stunning, right in the heart of the Wicklow Mountains. This was my first Sound Bath experience and it was a perfect way to end a great day.

  • A truly relaxing retreat in the beautiful surroundings of Glendalough. We enjoyed a gentle walk in nature, soaking in the peaceful views and the calming sounds of water all around us.

    The instructor; Keri, brought such wonderful expertise and humour, guiding us through somatic movement and the use of therapy balls in a way that helped melt away aches and tension.

    We were treated to an incredible, nourishing lunch, and the day finished with the most deeply relaxing sound bath — leaving us feeling completely refreshed and floating on air. Highly recommend this experience to anyone looking to unwind and reconnect.

  • Roll & Reset at the Glendalough Estate in the newly restored Anam Kara Fernery was transformative. Sophie created a welcoming, grounded space from the beginning. The forest bathing walk softened everything; Keri Gaffney’s somatic session helped me reconnect deeply. Lunch was nourishing and unhurried, and Robyn Browning’s closing sound bath felt like a gentle exhale back into myself.

  • I recently went on a wellness retreat to Anam Kara in Glendalough Estate which is nestled in the beautiful garden of Ireland. We started the retreat with a guided walk through the beautiful tranquil woodlands …this set us up for the first class which was roll & reset by the wonderful Keri… where all our tensions were melted away from the pace of everyday life … We then sat down to a wonderful healthy lunch hosted by the amazing Sophie! After lunch we wound down with a gentle Somatic class with Keri & a calming soundbath immersion by Robyn! It was a beautiful experience & I would highly recommend!
