The Details
Join me for a beautiful day of peace, nature & reconnection with the land, yourself, and your community.
Limited spaces available.
As with everything at Soul, each gathering is held with intention — from the space itself to the people within it. A new venue, the same grounded, nurturing energy.
We will begin with an opening cacao ceremony, followed by a gentle walk through the gardens of Wells House — allowing the body to ground, the mind to soften, and any unwanted or stagnant energy to be released. Surrounded by nature and held by the land, the nervous system is invited to slow down, rest, and restore.
From here, we return indoors for a grounding yoga practice and guided meditation, designed to help you reconnect with your body and breath in a steady, supportive way. The practice is accessible and intuitive, encouraging ease rather than effort.
As the day continues, we move into guided journalling and intention setting, creating space for reflection, clarity, and quiet insight. There is no pressure to perform or share, only an invitation to listen inward and set intentions that feel aligned for you.
We then settle fully into the space with a deeply restorative sound bath, allowing the body to integrate the day’s experiences and drop into a state of calm presence.
Set within the beautiful surroundings of Wells House & Gardens, a place steeped in history and natural beauty, this four-hour retreat invites you to slow down, reconnect, and recalibrate, leaving you feeling grounded, settled, and supported.

FAQs
What if I have never been to anything like this before?
1
That’s completely okay; this retreat is designed with beginners and experienced practitioners in mind. Everything is guided gently and clearly, with plenty of options to rest or take things at your own pace. There is no pressure to participate in everything fully; you’re always invited to listen to your body and do what feels right for you. We will have a beuatiful room to rest beside the fire if that is what your body & mind needs.
What is Cacao?
2
Cacao is a natural, heart-opening plant medicine made from pure ceremonial-grade cacao. In this setting, it’s used gently to support grounding, intention setting, and connection. The dose is light and supportive — not overwhelming — and you’re always welcome to have less or opt out if it doesn’t feel right for you.
Can I go on my own?
3
Absolutely. Many people attend on their own, and you’ll be warmly welcomed. The space is intentionally held so you can feel comfortable arriving solo, while still feeling supported and part of the group if you choose. I offer an earlier start time for people feeling nervous, you will be met by Jess, our host beforehand and any questions you have can be answered before the cermony begins.
You can send us an email to soulshalaconnect@gmail.com or send us a Whatsapp message at 0832031412.

What should I bring?
Jess is the founder and guiding presence behind Soul Yoga & Growth. She lives her life teaching yoga, offering life coaching, and creating spaces where people feel truly seen and heard.
Having lived through waves of anxiety and depression for much of her life, Jess knows firsthand how isolating it can feel to move through the world without a sense of belonging. This led her to leave Ireland for seven years in search of a place where she could be herself — supported, understood, and accepted.
In December 2024, Jess returned to her hometown of Gorey, Wexford, and began building Soul almost immediately. What started as a personal calling has grown into a space rooted in lived experience, deep listening, and compassionate guidance.
Through her work, Jess brings not only her training and professional experience, but a deep understanding of what it means to navigate life’s challenges. There is very little she hasn’t encountered through her own journey or her work with others, and she believes that healing begins when we feel safe enough to be exactly who we are.
