Itinerary
-
You’ll land at Dublin Airport and make your own way to Galway City by bus, train or private car. Wander the cobbled streets, have a coffee or a pint and absorb the friendly vibes of the town as we await everyone's arrival and begin The Exhale.
Once everyone arrives, we gather for a welcome dinner to officially kick off the best week of your life.
Meals included: Dinner
-
Wake up at your own pace and indulge in an Irish breakfast made with care. Hot coffee, fresh eggs and sausages and an opportunity to soak in the slow pace of life here. Take your time.
After breakfast we come together for our first Exhale Chat: a space for real talk—to consider what we need, what gets in the way, and how we can bridge the gap.
Then it’s time for us to channel our inner creative and try our hands at forging silver! You’ll create your own hand-made piece that will be polished and sized for you. Lunch is on your own. This afternoon, indulge in a nap or explore the winding streets of Galway City. It's the start of undoing the busy and easing into the slow life.
Tonight you’re going to learn a few steps of Irish dancing with a lesson at The Irish Dance Experience Galway (or just have a great laugh at yourself and each other!).
Explore the music-filled streets of Galway City tonight. Dinner is a group event, and then you can go and put your new dance moves to the test!

You're up early today, but for good reason. After breakfast, we meet our driver and start our journey through the breathtaking, rugged landscape of Connemara. We’ll trek to an amazing viewpoint on a guided hike, visit a village pub for a local pint and sample beautiful local food at a country café in Spiddal.
To finish our day of adventure, we head to the sea for a quintessential Irish experience at the Driftwood Sauna. We’ll let the heat of the sauna melt our stress away and clear our minds, then we take an exhilarating plunge into the cold, salty sea. It’s a simple yet powerful ritual, where the elements of heat and water work in harmony to leave you feeling completely rejuvenated.
It’s a free night in Galway. Check out the local pub scene, enjoy some live music, have fun! We're happy to recommend our favorite spots.

After breakfast together and our daily Exhale chat, the day is yours to spend however you like. Wander Galway’s colorful streets, browse the local shops, find a cozy café, or settle into a traditional pub for a little live Irish music. You might take a stroll along the River Corrib, head out to the Salthill Prom for fresh sea air, or enjoy some well-deserved downtime in the hotel pool or sauna. Feeling adventurous? Take a day trip to the Aran Islands and experience a little more of Ireland’s wild beauty.
There’s no schedule to follow and no pressure to see it all. Just a full day to follow your curiosity, do what feels good, and enjoy Galway at your own pace.
We’ll come back together this evening for dinner, sharing stories from a day spent exploring in our own way.

It’s our last morning in Galway. We’ll have breakfast and our Exhale Chat, then the morning is yours to enjoy a coffee in the square, browse the shops or just wander the cobbled streets one last time.
We will meet with our driver at noon to head east to County Meath. We’ll stop along the way for a pint in Ireland’s oldest pub, and take some time to soak in the quiet calm of Bective Abbey, a stunning ruin built in 1147.
Next, it's time to make our way to Bellinter House for a taste of true luxury. Soak up the peace and quiet as you connect with the rhythm of life on the Estate. Find a comfy chair to curl up in, read a book, go for a wander. Your nervous system is being rewired to relax.
Dinner tonight is a relaxed experience in the Drawing Room at Bellinter House. Nothing connects us as well as sharing a meal with friends.

Sleep in, relax in your room, and make your way to breakfast for a strong coffee and our Exhale Chat. After breakfast, take some time to soak in the surroundings of the Estate. Go for a walk, curl up with a cup of tea, book some time in at the spa. We’ll indulge in the complete thermal spa experience today, including lunch.
This afternoon we’ll reconnect with our driver and make the journey to one of the most ancient places in Ireland at the Hill of Tara. Enjoy an unhurried walk through this mythological setting. Immerse yourself in the rhythms of the Irish countryside.
Tonight’s dinner will be a meal to remember at Preston’s at Bellinter House. Head to bed early for a blissful sleep, or venture out for a final night of ceol and craic at Marcie Regan’s Pub (special appearance by Tony and Marie, our driver and his sweet wife!).

It’s time to integrate everything we've learned about ourselves, take a deep breath, and exhale. We'll have our last breakfast at Bellinter House, share our final Exhale Chat, pack our bags and say goodbye to our new friends. Hugs, smiles and tears will flow.
