Experience Your Ancient Remembrance

Sacred Sites, Nature Connection, Walking, Archaeology, Ancestral Healing

Hill of Uisneach the Central Heart of Ireland

Ireland has an iconic place in the worlds psyche, hearkening us back to an ancient spiritual connection with our own wild Soul and Nature. Those who visit Ireland feel embraced by a feeling of finally coming home, a soul retrieval across space and time. The wide open places of windswept beauty, the rugged wild shorelines, spectacular ancient sites, the green expanse of endless fields of grass, Ireland holds the keys to unlocking the door to an ancient memory that awakens a longing to be Interconnected with Nature and remember our Ancestral belonging. This is not an average tour of beautiful places, but one that takes you deeper into the mysteries of Ireland's ancient past and present; a pilgrimage to your own Ancient Remembrance.

The energy of Ireland is transformative. There is a reason why this land has more Sacred Sites than anywhere in the world! For thousands of years, Ireland was a renowned place of pilgrimage where people experienced Divine Communion with Nature and its Energy and Sacred Places of Transcendence. Not only is it a place of Awe-Inspiring Magical Beauty, the ancient Sacred Sites also hold great power. They were created to honor the Spirit World and also served as Portals to anchor Divine Energy and Knowledge in the earthly realm, "As Above, So Below". The indigenous Celtic and proto-Celtic tribes practiced an earth based spirituality very similar to the Native Americans. We will explore and experience this first hand.

The wild elements are still alive with a profound numinous energy that can Awaken the Spirit.  Experience a Life Changing Journey that will fill your soul with awe and steep you in connection to your own Divine Essence.  Ireland is guaranteed to transform you, either in the most subtle or profound ways!

Cara Gardner, Journey Guide

Cara has experienced the transformative power of Ireland in depth. She just moved back to California after 4 years living in Galway immersed in studying and researching Shamanism, Archaeology and the healing mysteries of Sacred Sites.  Cara learned through many years on the land that the ancient spiritual practices of the indigenous people have much to offer our modern world. In her research she found Ireland steeped in a rich tradition of nature spirituality practiced by the Neolithic/Bronze Age shamanic cultures and later Celtic Druids. She feels it her life work to bring this ancestral knowledge and grace to our modern world. Her Honors thesis is about Ecotherapy and Shamanism in Ireland highlighting the need for modern people to reconnect with nature for mental and spiritual health. She received advanced shamanic training with a Irish shaman Paul O'Halloran and other wonderful Irish healers. She has taught and practiced her healing techniques in Ireland and now in America. Cara has a private practice as a Shamanic Healer, Spiritual Counselor, Energy Medicine Practitioner and Clairvoyant. She also has advanced studies at NUIG in Irish Archaeology. She enjoys sharing factual historical knowledge along with intuitive spiritual inspiration. Cara is passionate about reawakening our memory of European indigenous earth based wisdom, which honors the divine feminine and is in harmony with Nature. Connecting with the spirit of the Land, the Ancestors and the Elemental energy can support tremendous empowerment and awakening that is so needed for our times.
