Sacred Spark Celtic Retreat in Ireland with Rev. Callie Swanlund

April 6-12, 2026

ABOUT

Join Episcopal priest and retreat leader Callie Swanlund on a soul-stirring journey through Ireland—where ancient wisdom, creativity, and Celtic spirituality meet in sacred landscapes. This immersive six-day retreat is created for those longing to (re)connect with the Holy, those who crave meaningful connection and rootedness, and those who want to tap into creativity and awe.

Callie is an Episcopal priest, retreat leader, and spiritual companion with deep experience guiding individuals and communities from weariness to wholeheartedness, drawing on embodied spiritual practices and the work of Dr. Brené Brown. The retreat will unfold among the evocative ruins of Glendalough Monastic Site in the Wicklow Mountains. Throughout the week we will spend time together on excursions around the region. You’ll be nourished by daily personal reflection and group connection, peaceful and meditative sound journeys offered by Callie, visits to local artisans, time for stillness, and sacred sites. The retreat concludes in Dublin where you can extend your stay, if desired.
