Main Info
Join us for a special Celtic Way Pilgrimage to Sacred Ireland!
Travel to the beautiful, historical and sacred places of the Irish 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 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 and Hill of Tara and more, Clonmacnoise, Kildare, Durrow, Athlone and Glendalough.
Our inward journey will be enhanced by spacious times spent with Celtic liturgy and quiet meditative times and will also include historical and spiritual guidance by experts and in-country guides. A custom Celtic Way Pilgrimages journal and a copy of A Celtic Liturgy by Pat Robson are included in the cost of the tour. The rhythm of our perigrinatio will include intentional times for personal reflection.
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.
