Ireland’s Voice – Éiriú

Ireland is a place of much magic, mystery and mysticism. A placed steeped in ancient lore, magnificent scenery and sacred sites galore. A place that people yearn to visit and when they do, the rush of emotions that they experience when they step foot on these lands takes their breath away. Oral lore, archaeology, an abundance of mythology, ancient texts and relics preserved, hidden gems, Ireland most certainly represents the emerald crystalline heart.

Fairy beings are respected; sacred trees protected and Her raw wildness remains untouched in many areas. Perched on the edge of Europe, she remains connected to Atlantis through the wild Atlantic oceans and also has a beautiful peaceful Lemurian feel. She retains fragments of Tara, that ancient planet that was exploded in cosmic wars. She remembers when peace reigned upon these lands and knows this peace will return.

However, Her magic has been exploited. She has experienced great hungers through enforced famine, battles, bloodshed and death upon her primordial body. Her divine gifts and abundant riches have been harvested.

Her emerald heart is cracked open now.

Raw from the ravages of history and at the same time, ready to be honestly witnessed, held and healed.

2024 is the year of The Truth Revealed.

Tourists flock to these lands in search of their heritage. To find their roots. To connect with their ancient Irish and Celtic ancestry. It’s very welcomed.

Her door is always open.

Her arms outstretched to greet you.

AND

There is another side to Ireland that often goes unnoticed, is hidden in plain sight or is ignored.

A side that is simmering beneath the surface, lurking in the shadows, waiting. This is the rift, the fractures that have been caused by eons of suppression.

Because of her magic, she has been targeted by malevolent forces.

The witch persecution didn’t play out like it did in the UK, Europe and beyond. However colonialism played out in major ways resulting in a present day rift.

It’s time to address these wounds and there is no better place to do that, from experience, than within the safety and sacredness of the circle, held by Eimear Stassin and Petra Carroll.

It’s time to take our power back by walking the bridge across the rift and releasing the colonial victimhood embedded in the land.

It’s time to step off the old paradigm wheel to that place out beyond the myths, beyond the propaganda, to that place of pure heart within your soul.

As sovereign beings, now is the hour to gather together in retreat and realise the power that remembering your story gifts you.

Retreat with us to these sacred lands, where myth and reality meet.

Ireland opens her outstretched arms to welcome you home to her emerald crystalline heart.

She aches for her secrets to be known, for her stories to be shared.

These are very sacred magical lands that call on us to be with them now to heal and support our ascension to 5D Earth.

She is waiting to reveal her truths to you for you.

Macha’s Curse: You come from Ulster and I will curse you with the birth pangs of labour. And I will curse you and all those who come after you that you will never know peace. - Macha

Macha held powerful gifts, one being she was able to run faster than any horse in Ireland. Her supernatural abilities were put to the test when her secret gift was revealed, it led to her demise. Or, put another way, in revealing her powerful gift, the result was her death. This is a wound within our collective consciousness where many feel unsafe to reveal their gifts and speak their truths. In Macha’s honour, she is the inspiration to unfurl and unravel her story to strengthen your foundations to speak your soul truth.

We strive, in this retreat, to heal the rift and call our soul parts home that pertain to these lands.

Join Eimear & Petra in this epic healing retreat.

Dance with us in to the season of Lughnasadh to harvest your gifts and retrieve your soul truths.

Ireland’s magic is waiting for you!

Are you ready for Her magic?

Meet Your Retreat Facilitators

Eimear Stassin

Eimear Stassin is a Seanachaí / an Irish sacred storyteller. As a spoken word orator, she carries on the traditions of both her matrilineal and patrilineal Irish lineages as story weaver, poet and crafter of the true lore.

Eimear’s mission is activating the remembrance in souls and awakening cellular wisdom through sacred storytelling, weaving and speaking ancient truth.

There are several stories of Goddess Witch Macha in Irish Mythology. The one that most moved Eimear became the inspiration for this retreat, where Macha was forced to race the kings horses. A story that we will elaborate on during our time together.

Ultimately, Macha’s cry and the curse that she cast upon the men of Ulster ignited a desire within Eimear to help heal the lasting rift that keeps humanity separated from each other and from their soul truth - with a particular focus on her native Ireland.

Eimear leads the way for you to come home to your true self as a voice for Ireland / Éiriú.

Eimear is from Dublin, Ireland and lives in Falkirk, Scotland with her husband, 3 children and Border Collie dog.

Petra Carroll

Petra Carroll is Shamanic Energy Medicine Healer.

A dweller of Armagh for most of her days, where the roots of her ancestors intertwine with the ancient tales of Navan, echoing through centuries past. In the embrace of this land, Petra’s mother's childhood whispers weave a tapestry of magic - of moonlit dances by Loughnashade Lake, where fairies painted dreams upon the water. These stories, passed down through generations, resonate within Petra, igniting a profound connection to Navan Fort that stirs her soul to its core.

The recent loss of two venerable trees on this sacred ground sparked a fire in Petra’s heart, revealing the intrinsic value of every leaf and branch. Fueled by passion, she took action, founding the Navanfort & Area Community Group, a beacon of hope and stewardship for our cherished heritage. As their voices rose in harmony, they earned a seat at the table of decision-makers, ensuring that their insights and concerns are honored by those who govern. Through their collective efforts, a new chapter unfolds - a maintenance plan born of dedication now safeguards this historic site, a beacon of pride among the royal grounds.

In partnership with the custodians of Navan Centre, Petra and the heritage group sow seeds of collaboration and understanding, fostering a shared vision for the preservation and prosperity of this beloved legacy. Petra’s personal odyssey merges with the earth beneath my feet, seeking healing for this ancient soil and birthing a consciousness that honors our ancestors and heralds a brighter future for all who dwell in its and embrace. 

Petra is from Northern Ireland and lives on the sacred lands of Navan Fort with her husband and 3 children.
