Main Info
Join us for a hand-crafted Celtic Way Pilgrimage to Sacred Ireland!
Travel to beautiful, historical, and sacred places of the Emerald Isle! Learn the Celtic Christian practices of the ancient saints and how these practices are applicable to our modern lives today. Discover a strong spiritual and peaceful connection to the earth and with the past that opens up new and full depths for our present.
Our outward pilgrimage will take us to some of the most important places in the Irish Celtic world. Beginning and ending in the capital city of Dublin, we will explore these fascinating locations; the Boyne Valley with Newgrange, Knowth Hill of Tara and more, and our pathway will also take us to Clonmacnoise, Kildare, Durrow, Athlone and Glendalough.
Our inward journey will be enhanced by spacious times spent with Celtic liturgy and quiet meditative moments led by our guides, Mike & Georgia Sanders. Also included will be historical and spiritual guidance by local experts and guides at stops along the way.
A custom Celtic Way Pilgrimages journal and a copy of A Celtic Liturgy by Pat Robson are included in the cost of the pilgrimage. The rhythm of our perigrinatio will include intentional times for personal rest and reflection as we travel together.
Costs are based on double-occupancy accommodations. Culture Honey Touring will do our best to accommodate the request, but there may be additional fees associated with reserving a private room at any point in our journey.
