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.

You've had a few days to adjust to the relaxed pace of Ireland and today is your chance to put that into practice. Breakfast at the Dean is followed by our daily Exhale Chat.

The day is yours to explore Galway like a local. Sip coffee in Eyre Square and people watch, find a great bookstore and get lost in the stories, immerse yourself in the music scene of the Latin Quarter or stroll through the grounds of the University of Galway. Or choose to soak in the hot tub or take advantage of the sauna at the hotel. Ask yourself what you need today, and then do it.

Tonight we’ll have dinner together as we get ready to say goodbye to this gem of a city. A few of us will probably stay up late to hear some tunes! Are you coming?

It’s our last morning in Galway. We’ll have breakfast and our Exhale Chat, take a final walk through Galway, and then meet with our driver 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 special menu at Preston’s in the House. Nothing connects us as well as sharing a meal with friends.

Meals included: Breakfast + Dinner

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 have exclusive use of the thermal spa 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 farewell dinner will be a meal to remember 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.

Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch + Dinner

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.

You’ll make your way back to Dublin Airport for your flight home, or choose to extend your trip a few days and spend the weekend in Dublin City!
