Epona Retreat Centre

Epona Retreat Centre Our mission is to allow our clients to disconnect from everyday stresses & enhance wellness. https://eponaretreats.com/9-steps-to-unleash-your-inner-power.

We gently introduce nature and the intuition of horses to connect with your own awareness specifically through horses & Movement Meditations Noreen specialises in women's personal and professional development through equine learning and energy healing and provides Animal Reiki Teachings, Reiki Energy Healing, Equine Therapy, Bespoke Retreats & Meditations at Epona facilitated by her 3 horses, Ruby

, Lizzie and Isabel. At Epona Retreat Centre, its unique selling points have proven that the horse's behaviour matches a person's behaviour. During my sessions, the horses change the new carers' attitude and behaviours to become more empowered by listening to their inner wisdom, which brings about the inner power of leadership, gains clarity in their vision of purpose, and builds their confidence and trust in holding space for themselves during uncertain times. Check out my on-line programme where I help professional woman who want to find their purpose, direction and increase confidence through the revolutionary programme that taps into the power of the horses. Ask to join my Private Facebook Group Epona Celtic Goddess of Horses - it is for like-hearted souls who feel pulled to, connect more deeply with their intuition and wisdom, and embrace their spiritual gifts with the energy vibration of the horses and mother nature.

Celebrated the New Moon in Aries over the weekend🔥🌟

This New Moon carried a powerful invitation to begin again.

Aries energy is bold, it asks you to set intentions not from fear, but from truth. From the part of you that came into this world openhearted, hopeful, and full of possibility.

But this isn’t just about forward motion. There’s something deeper stirring.

Old wounds may have risen. Triggers may have surfaced. The parts of you shaped in early life or even carried across generations may have asked to be seen.

And here’s the magic:
🔥 Fire doesn’t just burn, it transforms.

What if this is your moment to show up those wounds?

What if stepping into discomfort is actually the doorway to freedom?

Ask yourself:
❤️How would my life feel if you truly felt loved, seen, and supported?
❤️What would change if you chose to love yourself even imperfectly, even gently?

This New Moon is an invitation to come home to yourself. To reconnect with your inner child the version of you that knew joy, wonder, and belonging before the world told you who to be.

That’s the heart of my work💜.

And it’s why I created the Inner Child Retreat (15–17 May ; 2-4 October).

Not as a place to “fix” yourself but as a space to gently come back into relationship with yourself through the horses, the land and nature. At your pace. In your own way.

Held by the horses, and supported every step of the way.

If you’ve been feeling that quiet sense of disconnection you’re not alone. And you don’t have to force your way back.

Sometimes, it begins with simply stepping into a space where you can be met differently.

Let this be your moment to plant new seeds 🌱

If this resonates, you’re very welcome to join us at Epona Retreat Centre on the 15-17th May or 2-4th October 2026.

Sending you lots of love & abundance 🔥 💜

This is a gentle note to let you know…

There are now only a few spaces remaining for the Inner Child Retreat (15–17 May; 2–4 October 2026).

If you’ve been feeling the pull… if something in you has been quietly saying “maybe”… This is your moment to listen.

Not from pressure but from presence.

These kinds of spaces are rare.

Time away.
Supportive guidance.
The quiet, powerful presence of the horses.
And the opportunity to reconnect with yourself
in a meaningful way.

If it feels right, you’re very welcome.

If not, that’s okay too.

But if you do feel the call, I’d love to have you here.

You can reserve your space here: https://eponaretreats.com/rediscover-your-inner-child-retreat (link in bio) or book a call to connect with me.

Sending you lots of love & light,
Noreen ❤️✨

Soft morning light, sea air, and slow, mindful movement 🌊

Spending the day in Courtmacsherry immersed in a TaiChi Qigong retreat where breath meets body, and everything begins to soften. The rhythm of the waves mirrors each movement, grounding, steadying, reminding me there’s no rush.

Grateful for this space to slow down, listen deeply, and reconnect with nature, with presence, with self.

Days like this feel like medicine🩷.

A special afternoon lunch with my sister Cora 💫

Grateful to be part of such a meaningful charity event supporting at the Rochestown Park Hotel here in Cork. MC Trisha Lewis .transformation. Days like this remind me how powerful community, compassion, and coming together for a greater cause can be.

One of the most common things people say after this work is:

“I didn’t expect it to feel this safe.”

And that matters. Because when we feel safe, truly safe, something begins to soften.

There’s no need to push.
No need to perform.
No need to “get it right.”

Just space to be exactly where you are. Many people arrive feeling unsure…a little nervous…wondering if this is for them. And they leave with something very different:

A deeper sense of connection to themselves.
A softening of the inner critic.
A greater understanding of their emotional world.
And often a feeling of coming home.

If you’ve been sitting on the fence, this is your gentle reassurance: You don’t need to have it all figured out to begin. You just need a willingness to show up.

You might be wondering…

What actually happens during an Inner Child Retreat?

It’s not about reliving the past or analysing every experience.

Instead, it’s about creating the conditions where something natural can unfold.

Over the three days, you’ll be gently guided through:

🌿 Grounding practices to help you feel safe in your body: TaiChi & Qigong
🐎 Time with the horses, allowing awareness and reflection to arise
🌿 Space for emotional exploration at your own pace
🐎 Opportunities to notice patterns, beliefs, and protective responses
🌿 Moments of stillness, integration, and connection with nature

The horses are incredible teachers in this process.

They don’t judge.
They don’t analyse.
They simply respond to what is real.

And that kind of presence can bring awareness to things we didn’t even realise we were holding. Everything is invitational. You are always in choice. And you are supported throughout. If you’re feeling curious, you can read more on my website or book a free call with me!

Sending you lots of love & light,
Noreen ❤️✨

There is a part of you that still remembers.

The part that once felt everything deeply…
that didn’t question its worth…
that longed to be seen, heard, and held just as it was.

Life, over time, may have asked this part of you to become quiet. To Adapt. To Protect. To Survive.

But it is still there.

Waiting not to be fixed, but to be gently met.

I want to invite you to something very special:

✨ Inner Child Retreat | 15–17 May ; 2-4 October 2026 ✨

A space where you can step away from the noise of everyday life and reconnect with yourself in a deeply supported and grounded way.

With the quiet presence of the horses and the holding of nature, you’ll be guided into a process of awareness, reflection, and softening.

No pressure.
No expectations.
Just space to be.

If something in you feels a gentle pull, you can learn more here: https://eponaretreats.com/rediscover-your-inner-child-retreat (link in bio)

This may be the beginning of something important.

Sending you lots of love & light,
Noreen ❤️✨

April’s Pink Full Moon rises over the land on 1st April, casting her gentle light across the herd, the trees, and all that is ready to be seen 🌕

In their quiet presence, the horses remind us to pause… to breathe… to release what feels heavy and no longer ours to carry.

This moon feels especially powerful for me today✨
🩷 31 years of marriage.
🩷16 years since my sister Eilish passed over to the other side, felt, remembered, and forever part of my story.
🩷And my 56th birthday tomorrow.

All of it held in this one sky. This one moment. This one breath.

A reminder that life moves in cycles of love that endures, of grief that softens but never leaves, of growth, and of becoming.

The Libra Full Moon invites us to find balance, to clear space, and to stand in our truth.

No more playing small. No more second guessing.
Just gentle, grounded courage like the herd.

What are you ready to release?
What are you ready to step into?

Tonight, I’ll stand on the earth, feeling the support beneath me, witnessed by the herd, held by the land and connected to all that cannot be seen but is always felt 💛

Sending peace, hope, and love to all.
Noreen 💜

Beware of the call that tempts you away from your purpose… I felt that deeply this past week.

What started as an exciting trip quickly became something very different. As we packed our bags for the airport, my husband twisted his ankle on the way out the door. By the time we arrived at the airport, the swelling had him nearly fainting. That moment could have pulled us straight into stress, frustration, and fear.

But we chose presence.

We chose to stay with what was, instead of wishing for what should have been.

We arrived in Tenerife dreaming of sunshine and blue skies… and were met instead by Storm Theresa. Plans unraveled, cancelled day trips. Roaring seas and grey skies where golden light was meant to be.

So many moments where we could have drifted from ourselves into disappointment, into resistance, into “why is this happening?”

But this is the work, isn’t it?

Recognising the distractions not just the obvious ones like busy minds or endless scrolling, but the emotional ones too frustration, control, expectation. The quiet pull away from our truth.

Again and again, we returned to each other.
To breath.
To acceptance.

We asked ourselves:
✨ What matters right now?
✨ What is being asked of us in this moment?
✨ Can we choose love here?

And slowly, something shifted.

Not the weather.
Not the circumstances.

Us.

We found moments of laughter in the chaos.
Care in the discomfort.
Connection in the unexpected stillness.

It reminded me that true fulfillment doesn’t come from perfect plans or blue skies it comes from presence. From appreciating what is here, even when it doesn’t look how we imagined.

Home is not a place. It’s a feeling. And even in the middle of the storm, we found our way back to it.

If something in your life feels like it’s pulling you off course right now, pause and ask yourself:
What is the distraction here?
And what would it look like to stay true to myself instead?

Even the storm can guide you home. Have faith, stay strong, and keep your focus.
Sending you healing love & light. Noreen 💜🥰🦋🌟

The New Moon in Pisces arrives like the tide, powerful, and deeply felt on March 18th.

Standing near the water, I can feel its presence moving through everything. The waves mirror what this moment is asking of us: to soften, to release, to let what’s been carried for too long wash away.

As the final New Moon of the astrological year, this one feels like an exhale. A closing. Not rushed, not forced just a gentle unraveling of what no longer belongs.

There’s a sensitivity in the air, like everything is more open, more receptive. Emotions rise more easily. Intuition speaks a little louder. Messages don’t come in straight lines, but through feeling, through symbols, through the quiet knowing that surfaces when we give ourselves space.

This isn’t a time for pushing forward. It’s a time for listening.

The water reminds us that clarity doesn’t always come from doing more it comes from allowing. From sitting with what is, from letting the current move through, from trusting that what’s meant to stay will remain.

As we move towards the Equinox March 20th, something within begins to settle. There’s more space. More breath. A sense that we are gently preparing for what’s next.

For now, I’m just here with the water feeling, releasing, and allowing the new to find its way in.

Sending you healing love & light.

14/03/2026

Beneath all our striving, our planning, and our ambitions, there is often a quieter longing to feel safe, loved, and remembered. To be received just as we are. To rest in a sense of belonging where tenderness is not a weakness, but a sacred strength.

Lately, many of us are being guided back toward this inner place. Old memories, feelings, or long-forgotten dreams may be surfacing not to pull us into the past, but to remind us of what has always mattered most: connection, trust, creativity, and the freedom to be emotionally open without fear. Happy Sunny Saturday my Soul Tribe ☀️❤️
