Blackhill Woods Retreat

19/11/2025

🍂The last Sunday of November invites us into The Still Point. The natural pause in between the exhale of November and the inhale of December.

☺️ Together we will enjoy a full day of rest, reflection and gentle integration.

🌀 We’ll gather in circle, move softly through mindful practices, spend quiet time in nature, and share nourishing food together. The day will close with a deep, restful Yin Yoga session to completely reset your system.

🙏🏻 This is your moment to pause, breathe, and be. Take a day for yourself to punctuate November before moving into the busyness of December.

✨ These retreats are a real day out of time and simply be, as you are held in stillness

🍂Beech & Holly in all their glory

☺️Here in Blackhill Woods, November moves slowly, a month of quiet grace. The great Beech Elders with their copper leaves all aglow, stand beside the dark glossy Holly. Together they mark this tender turning of the year. Beech, the keeper of memory, releasing her golden leaves back to the earth and Holly, the evergreen guardian, shining bright through the deepening dark.

🌳 In Irish folklore, Beech is the tree of wisdom and reflection she helps us look back on what the year has taught us. Holly is the protector, the heart of winter, bringing strength, renewal and joy!

🌲 To see them together is to witness November and December in conversation, one letting go, the other holding steady. They remind us to slow right down, to savour the misty light, the crisp air, the colours changing above and below.

🍃Here, as the woodland shifts from deciduous bronze to evergreen again, we open our doors for the final gatherings of the year.

🍂 November Stillpoint Retreat for rest and reflection.
🎄 Christmas Gatherings for peace, joy and connection.

☺️You can come for a yoga class, take time out for a retreat or stay and rest at our beautiful and cosy rewilded country home.

🌳At Blackhill Woods Retreat you can walk the woodland paths, listen to the whisper of the trees and feel nature guide you home to your true self.

🙌 Hello Beautiful Souls!

🍂 Eilish here, wishing you a super slow-mo November, a perfect time to pause and tend to your roots.

🌀I am now taking winter bookings for Belief Coding®️sessions.

✨ These sessions are profound and life changing. I have experienced it first hand myself and with many others - from matters of the heart to health, wealth, stress - everything is underpinned by our core beliefs. As our subconscious literally runs the show of our entire lives, when we upgrade our limiting beliefs, our lives naturally upgrade too!

🧠 The subconscious is 1,000,000 more powerful than conscious mind. That is why all the willpower, hard work and effort in the world can sometimes feel fruitless.

🍂 Is there a pattern or behaviour you are ready to shed for good this winter? If so I would be honoured to guide you through this very empowering journey.

🌀 1 session can bring a breakthrough.
✨ 3 sessions a transfomation!

☺️ Please see some recent testimonials below to hear from some very happy clients.

🙌 Here is the link for more info, get in touch with me to book and look forward to the next chapter of your big beautiful life!

Eilish 🌀💗🙏🏻

🌀What if it didn’t have to be so hard? All the effort and energy it takes to keep it all together?

🧠 Most of us have been told to “just think and act positively” but the programs underneath the thoughts or actions truly run the show. The fear, the self-doubt, the old patterns we can’t quite shift no matter how hard we try.

🌀Belief Coding® goes way deeper than mindset work or affirmations. It helps you get to the root of what’s really been holding you back, so real change actually sticks.

🙌 This groundbreaking modality allows you to unlock the potential of your subconscious mind, this means you no longer have to willpower your way through life or change. You get to decide and set the benchmark for your quality of life.

It can help you with things like:
🌿 Self-confidence, self-sabotage and self-worth.
🌿 Body image and your relationship with food.
🌿 Anxiety, depression and grief.
🌿 Releasing old habits around alcohol or coping patterns.
🌿 Finding direction at times of change.
🌿 Taking your power back and feeling in control of your life again.

✨When your subconscious shifts, life starts to flow easily, enjoyably and in alignment with who you really are.

💗 I am thoroughly loving this work, it is such an honour to hold space for people during these sessions. The breakthroughs and transformations are profound and lasting!

🙌 If you are feeling the nudge trust it, you can DM to arrange a free Alignment Call to see how Belief Coding®️can work for you.

I look forward to hearing from you,

Eilish

🧘‍♀️For years I thought alignment in yoga meant thinking the right thoughts, saying the right words, doing the right actions. But if our core beliefs are running the opposite story nothing will ever feel good enough.

🥹When life got stressful I’d slip into old patterns of hyper vigilance, overworking, people pleasing and perfectionism. My body held it all, looping negative thoughts, digestive issues, I always felt judged and on edge.

🤔Sound familiar? These old programs run through families until we choose to upgrade them for ourselves and for the next generation.

🧠Reading “The Biology of Belief” by Dr Bruce Lipton changed everything. Real transformation happens in the subconscious where those early programs live.

🙏🏻This year I found what I’d been looking for in Belief Coding® After one masterclass something cracked open. I signed up, trained, qualified and with each session given and received, my heart and mind expanded, it felt like coming home to my true self.

🌀Belief Coding® helps you meet and rewire the hidden beliefs shaping your entire reality. Backed by neuroscience, the shifts are instant and lasting.

☺️I’ve never felt more at peace. No longer chasing alignment, I am Aligned, Calm, Content, Rooted.

✨Now it’s time to share the empowerment and inner freedom with you!

🌀I’m now offering sessions at Blackhill Woods Retreat, Online via Zoom and every Thursday at Portlaoise Holistic Centre.

🌎If you’re ready to decode and rewrite the beliefs running your life, message me to book for October or November. Let’s align your inner and outer world with who you truly are!

Is mise le meas agus grá mór

🌀 Eilish Fitzpatrick - Yoga Teacher & Belief Coding® Facilitator

🙏🏻 For over 15 years, I’ve been teaching yoga and guiding people back into alignment in body, mind and spirit.
But over time, I began to see that alignment goes far beyond posture or breath. It’s not just about the physical form, it’s about aligning your thoughts, your words and your deeds. And yet, even with all the “right” practices in place, I found myself returning to patterns of hyper-vigilance, self-criticism and people pleasing whenever life got tough.

✨ That led me on a deeper search. I discovered “The Biology of Belief” by Dr. Bruce Lipton and it completely changed how I saw healing. I realised that everything - our reactions, our emotions, our choices - is rooted in our subconscious programming and core beliefs formed in childhood. I knew I needed something that could reach those layers and truly rewire them.

🌀That’s when I came across Belief Coding®. From my very first session, I felt something profound shift. During my training (both online and in-person in Manchester with the incredible founder Jess Cunningham) I witnessed not just my own transformation, but incredible changes in others too.

🙌 Belief Coding® goes way beyond affirmations or mindset work, it helps you safely meet and reprogram the subconscious beliefs running your life, creating change in real time.

💗 Today, I’m delighted to be offering Belief Coding® sessions at Portlaoise Holistic Centre every Thursday, alongside my dear friend, mentor and fellow healer - Imelda McNally. These sessions are two and a half hours long and deeply immersive - perfect for anyone ready to go all in, uncover what’s really driving their patterns and step into genuine freedom.

☺️ Through this work, I’ve found a level of peace, self-love and contentment that used to feel out of reach. My old default of tension and striving has been replaced by calm, clarity and joy! I am so much happier in my own skin than I have ever known, no longer “on edge” trying to keep it all together. And that, to me, is true alignment, the kind that begins in the subconscious and ripples through every area of life, positively impacting my relationships, health, confidence, self worth, purpose to name but a few!

🥰 I have worked with many beautiful souls from all walks of life over a full spectrum of physical, mental and emotional issues, everything is underpinmed by our beliefs. It is such an honour to share this empowering gift of self transformation.

🙌 Get in touch if you would like to reclaim your power and get very excited about the next chapter of your one big beautiful life!

Grá mór,
Eilish

⭕️ July Cacao Circle & Ecstatic Dance 💃🏽

🌀Galactic New Year Celebration 🌌

📆 Saturday July 26th, 7.30pm
Blackhill Woods Retreat

🌌Join us as we gather under the stars to honour the turning of the cosmic wheel, the Galactic New Year, a portal of renewal, expansion, and soul remembrance.

⭕️We begin in sacred circle, sharing ceremonial cacao, opening our hearts and softening the edges. Then, with eyes closed and music turned up, we drop into the dance. This is intuitive, self-led, no steps to follow, no one watching. Just breath, beat, and the truth of your body in motion.

This is movement as medicine.

💃🏽 A space to release tension, move emotion, reclaim joy, and realign with who you’re becoming.

🙏🏻 We close with song, reflection, and connection and send you back into the world lighter, clearer, and more you.

☺️ No experience needed, all most welcome. Just bring your body, an open heart, and a willingness to move.

💗 Very much looking forward to it!
