Our day begins at the private healing gardens at Knockrose where the Rose Lines can be felt. Located 500 feet above sea level and nestled on the shoulder of The Scalp, in the south of County Dublin, we will be joined by local

starseeds. Together, we will have the unique opportunity to receive a private tour and have a light lunch of homemade soup & bread, cheeses, followed by coffee, tea, and desert. After our private garden tour, we journey west across the emerald isle to Galway for an overnight experience in one of the liveliest harbor cities in Ireland.

Included: Breakfast / Accommodation / Transportation / Entrance Fee & Lunch Day 3 Galway, Cliffs of Moher, Sacred Sites and Lough Derg Lakelands Group exploration. Galway. Thursday, Sept. 20

Wake up to spectacular views of Galway Bay in our private luxury townhome. After breakfast, free time to explore the harbor city of Galway, a vibrant university town with stone-clad cafes, boutiques, art galleries and the city’s hub, 18th-century Eyre Square. Our private residence is in walking distance to the Spanish Arch, built in 1584 as an extension of the 12th-century walled town, now a nod to Galway’s medieval past, the Spanish Arch overlooks the bay. We will connect and deepen our knowledge of water, understanding how the River Corrib flows from the Lough 3.7 miles (6 kilometers) to join Galway Bay which merges with the North Atlantic.

Our journey continues as we leisurely travel along the Wild Atlantic Way to County Tipperary. Along the way, we will see and connect to sacred sites, see Dunguaire Castle, take a photo at the Cliffs of Moher and to lunch. Our next destination is an overnight stay at a breathtaking home which sits atop the lush lakeside countryside of Lough Derg. Lough Derg is the third-

largest lake on the island of Ireland. Once again, we will connect to water, fresh water fed from the River Shannon as we take in the exceptional views and explore the area. As time allows, visit the historic village of Killaloe, including the Apothecary shops. Group decision: Dinner at a lakeside restaurant, bistro or pub in Killaloe which offers organic, gluten free, and diverse dining options. Optional Free Excursion: Near the world-famous Cliffs of Moher, we will see the well of Saint Patrick, and visit a crystal shop.

Included: Breakfast / Accommodation / Transportation / Park Entrance Fees

Day 4 Wild Atlantic Way to Dingle Free time to explore Dingle. Friday, Sept. 21

We depart our lakeside home to continue along the Wild Atlantic Way. Our first stop is in Adare, renowned as one of Ireland’s prettiest towns. The historic town of Adare offers medieval monasteries, stone buildings and Desmond Castle, a 13th-century castle and ring fort along the banks of river Maigue. We continue along one of the most spectacular driving routes in Ireland, Conor Pass, one of the highest 1,486 ft (456-metre) Irish mountain passes. Irish mountains are really only large hills (the highest is just over 3,000 ft), so one may hike to the top in a matter of hours. Sit back and take in this world-famous drive along the Wild Atlantic Way. Our destination for the next two days is the seaside village of Dingle, which National Geographic once claimed as “the most beautiful places in the world.” Our luxury home provides ample views and room for starseeds to connect with Dark-Sky County Kerry where views are equally impressive from day to night. On a clear evening with the naked eye, one can see the white band of the Milky Way, the Andromeda Galaxy, Star Clusters and Nebulae. County Kerry citizens are conscious of preserving the unspoiled day to night landscape which is why this area has earned the Gold Tier Award for Dark-Sky viewing. County Kerry is one of three places in the world that can claim such a title; the other two are Grand Canyon or the desert plains of Africa. A place where Starseeds might see a UFO. Optional Free Excursion: Free time to explore the Dingle.

Included: Breakfast / Accommodation / Transportation

Day 5 Dingle, Skellig Michael, Unesco World Heritage Site Explore Dingle. Saturday, Sept. 22

Dingle Peninsula is like an open-air museum of historical sites, from 1200-year-old dry stone Gallarus Oratory to beehive huts. Visit Inch Beach, 3-mile long, uninterrupted golden sand beach slung between wild dunes, is the perfect place to swim, surf, or unwind. This famous beach has been featured in many Hollywood movies but here, without the million-dollar price tag, we can connect to the Atlantic waters. Ireland’s iconic town of Dingle offers ample restaurant’s and pubs, as well as Murphy’s legendary ice cream, choose amongst Pink Champagne Sorbet, Honey Cardamom, and Chocolate Whisky as you take in the shops and iconic harbor. Perhaps we will see Fungie, the resident bottlenose dolphin. Optional Fee Excursion: Visiting Skellig Michael, which towers 714 ft (218 metres) from the sea, requires a short boat ride, approximately 8 miles (12km) off the coast of

Portmagee. Transfer from boat to dock and then, a climb of 618 steps, ascending over 600 ft. (180 metres). It is a demanding climb, and any

person with health issues should consider carefully their physical limitations before exploring the monastery and associated beehive

huts. This option requires advanced booking via boat operator and may not be available when you book with Thea’s Heart, LLC. Tour departs at 9:00 am and returns at 2 pm to Portmagee, rain or shine.

If you choose not to visit Skellig Michael, take in the free sites in Dingle or consider coastal walks, or renting a bicycle to enjoy the 26 miles (42 km) Slea Head Loop, a world-famous circle with views of rugged scenery along the craggy cliffs to sandy beaches that ring the peninsula. Or a boat ride to the Blasket Islands.

Included: Breakfast / Accommodation / Transportation / Park Entrance Fees Day 6 Exploring South West Ireland, Kinsale Group exploration. Sunday, Sept. 23rd

Our equinox destination for the next two days is the historic port of Kinsale, often called Ireland’s Riveria and twinned with Antibes, South of France.

Starseed Ireland Adventure www.theasheart.com/sacred-travel

Kinsale is the southerly starting point of the Wild Atlantic Trail. Before we arrive, we will hold ceremonies at significant sacred sites from Kealkil Stone Circle, Uragh Standing Stone, and Ardgroom. Our Neolithic ancestors built and aligned these stone monuments, many of which were aligned to the sun,

moon, and stars, marking important phases in times, like equinoxes and solstices. These sacred sites continue to move energy, ebbing and flowing with the lay lines. We will be working with pre-solar noon energies to amplify our intentions and group energy field. In Kinsale, we will check in to our outstanding luxury home with coastal views of the Atlantic Ocean. This private home provides ample space for starseeds to connect with the stars. The town of Kinsale is a long waterfront that sits at the mouth of the River Brandon allowing us to continue learning about Ireland’s water. The town offers narrow winding streets and is internationally known for the number and quality of its restaurants as well as a world-class golf course. Equinox: 7:21 am Sunrise, 7:30 pm sunset in County Cork; Solar noon 1:26 pm, Solar midnight 1:26 am. Please note, Equinox occurs at 2:54 am.

Day 7 Kinsale Group exploration. Monday, Sept. 24th

Depending on morning weather and group interest, a drive to Drombeg Stone Circle, known as the Druid’s Alter. Feel the energy of 17-pillar stones and experience Ireland’s most famous stone circle along the Atlantic Coast. See the cooking pits and remains of huts. Our afternoon will include exploring Kinsale. Once a medieval fishing port, there are two 17th century fortresses, the star-shaped Charles Fort to the southeast, and the smaller James Fort on the bank of River Brandon. We will journey to Tobar Na Mainistreach, the Friary Well, dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary and associated with a 7th-century church which once built nearby. A Norman landowner, Robert Fitzrichard Balrain build an abbey in 1344 and offered acres of land to the Carmelite Hermits – a group who fled Mount Carmel in the Holy Land during the Crusades. The Carmelite Hermits utilized the waters of the Friary Well to help heal those affected by illness and leprosy. Today, this holy well remains rather obscure. In modern cities, water readily flows from the tap, have we forgotten our connection to water? We will continue to explore Kinsale and see historic sites. Optional Free Excursion: Opt out of Drombeg excursion to have free morning time to explore the Old Head of Kinsale, a gentle 3.7-mile walk with dramatic cliffs and lush

Starseed Ireland Adventure www.theasheart.com/sacred-travel

headlands that protrude into the Atlantic Ocean. See the ruins of a mysterious fort believed to be built by the Celts around 100 BC, the iconic 17th-century black and white striped Old Head Lighthouse which looks out to the area where a German torpedo sank the RMS Lusitania in 1915, the wreck still lies beneath the waves. Or rent a kayak and take to the sea, view sea arches while keeping an eye out for friendly seals, basking sharks, and kittiwakes.
