Blossoming
A Beltane Retreat to Ancient Éire
Voice
April 30th - May 4th
Dear Song & Time Traveller,
If you have discovered this invitation, the ancient call of your soul is summoning you to the sacred remembrance of your voice and your lineage, awakening the timeless melodies, old songs, and ways of being that once guided your ancestors.
Join Hannah & Aurélie for a weekend of renewal and reawakening during Beltane, a threshold in the year when the earth hums with rebirth. Set on the mythic West Coast of Ireland, amidst blooming wildflowers and whispering winds, we will step away from the pace of modern life to reconnect with the primal force of our voices, revive the old ways, and awaken the ancient songs long dormant within our bones.
During this weekend, you will be guided into the essence of your voice, exploring its deep connection to nature, the alchemy of inner transformation, and the ancestral songs carried quietly through generations. Through intuitive singing, improvisation, Celtic and ancient songs, and the reclamation of your authentic sound, you will harmonise with the echoes that live in your breath, your blood, and your bones. In awakening your voice, you heal not only yourself but also the ancestral wounds held in body, mind, and spirit. Resistance becomes wisdom; pain becomes song; the old ways return through singing, walking, creating, and sharing as our ancestors did. As we stand in the glow of the Beltane fire beneath Muckish Mountain, we offer our intentions to the flames, releasing what no longer serves us and welcoming the abundance ahead. Through sacred song, sound, and silence, we attune to the rhythms of the season and to one another.
Our gatherings reflect the old ways, where song is woven through daily life, into storytelling, crafting, preparing tea from foraged herbs, walking the coast, swimming in the sea, feasting, and sharing quiet moments together. In reviving these practices, we simplify, connect with what is real, and share our activities, just as our ancestors may have found purpose and connection by singing through the work of daily life. As they once lived with song as a vital part of every moment, so too will we allow our voices to flow naturally through each shared experience, seeking joy, grounding, and connection, weaving remembrance into all we do.
You will walk this path with kindred souls, each on their own quest to ignite their creative flame and align with the ancient magic that flows through the sacred voice: the voice of the land, the voice of your ancestors, the voice of your true self.
Listen closely, for your voice is a sacred gift, and it is time to let it sing.

Hannah Lunar Rose
Hannah Lunar Rose is an ancient songstress, vocalist, and herbal witch devoted to the old ways and the art of remembrance. She gathers old songs carried through centuries, some in languages now lost or fading, and is especially drawn to the Gaelic songs of Ireland and Scotland. Their sounds and stories move in her like a homecoming, awakening a deep sense of memory in the bones.
Her work extends beyond song into the realms of lineage, shadow, and the lands themselves. Hannah walks with ancestral stories and the quiet echoes held in ancient places, inviting others to meet their own roots with softness and courage. She tends the wounds, stories, and forgotten parts of the self that arise through this work, supporting people to explore both the light and the shadow of their lineage.
At the center of all she offers is a longing for belonging. Hannah’s work is ultimately about coming home to ourselves and to one another, about building community, and about creating spaces where people feel recognised, supported, and deeply seen.
Rooted in the rhythms of nature and shaped by her studies in Ayurveda, sound healing, and dharmic traditions, Hannah weaves together music, ritual, plant wisdom, and ancestral inquiry. Her retreats and gatherings invite others into a gentle yet powerful journey of remembrance, a return to what is sacred, true, and waiting to be reclaimed within, both individually and collectively.
Aurélie
Aurélie's love for cooking and feeding others nourishing and seasonal food is rooted in the belief that food should be our foremost medicine; and the fuel that shapes the quality of our lives. The better I eat, the better I feel, and the more available I am to be of service in joy.
She has worked and volunteered in many kitchens around Europe, mostly plant-based and in a community setting, cooking for groups ranging from 3 to 150 people, on open fires and kitchens of all shapes and sizes!
Outside of the kitchen, a search for understanding underpins her interests and activities, and has led her to study plants and herbalism, and nurture the beautiful reciprocal relationship of tending to plants and in turn being supported by them. She crafts creams and oils for the skin and tinctures and tea blends for the body and soul and has recently started growing her own medicine garden.
With a professional background in translation and teaching languages, Aurélie loves to explore the complexities of language, and combines this with her love of singing, by collecting and sharing songs from many places, with a particular draw to sounds and languages of the Mediterranean.
