During each retreat, we set an intention. Not a wish or a hope, but a clear focus.
It’s easy to move through life on autopilot. Intention setting is a way to press pause and ask: What do I actually want from this time?
That simple step shifts the whole weekend. It sharpens your awareness, helps you get more from the experience, and makes sure you walk away with something real to take back into your everyday life.
That’s why we do it. To silence the noise and get clear.

✨ Weekly Round-Up ✨
What a beautiful week in Donegal filled with love, laughter and happy memories!🤍
My whole family gathered for my brother’s wedding at Ards Friary, Co.Donegal.
Having all four of my children in one place was so special; especially with one making the long trip all the way from Australia for the big day!🥰
There were sea dips, saunas, and of course some Reformer Pilates woven in too!🙌
Sandhill House became our sanctuary…..It was the perfect place for everyone to come together, relax, and celebrate together.💫
Grateful for family, connection, and a week we will all never forget!🤍💫

A retreat isn’t only for you - it can be a powerful experience as a couple. To share the sea swims, the laughter, the stillness, and the memories. To switch off from the chaos of life and tune back into each other. It’s a weekend away that feels like an investment in you both.
“We had the most incredible weekend at Lucille’s Wild retreat. We are parents to a toddler which means life is always at full pelt so getting the chance to have a weekend together to not just reconnect but also slow down and reflect was truly transformative for us. The weekend was the perfect mix of calm and fun from forest bathing and yoga to surf lessons and dancing, all whilst eating the most nourishing and delicious food. We met such a lovely bunch of like minded people too who we are still in touch with and planning a reunion for some day soon!” Niall + Lara

Your reviews are more powerful than you know. 💫
They help others find their way here, to stillness, to adventure, to connection. And for me, they’re the reminder of why I do this work. Thank you for taking the time. 🙏

Another Weekly round up from me!
✨ Sunday yoga brought the calm, to balance the strength and flow of the weekly Reformer classes.
🌊 Feeling really grateful for the gorgeous weather and being able to catch a few early Early morning sunrises.
✨ And behind the scenes… we’ve been quietly working on something wild!
🔥 The countdown is officially on for our Wild Adventure Retreat this October (3rd-5th)….adventure, nature, and reconnection await.
We are delighted to announce that and will be guiding us through transformative breathwork at our Wid Retreat🙌
Welcome to Sandhill House. 🌿✨
A place where the wild Atlantic meets rugged beauty, where time slows down, and where your retreat truly begins.
Here you’ll gather in light-filled rooms, share meals around the table, rest deeply in cosy bedrooms, and look out onto views that make you pause and breathe.
This is the heart of our retreats...a home away from home, a space that holds stillness, laughter, and connection.
📍 Sandhill House, Dunfanaghy, Co. Donegal
📅 Next retreat: 3rd–5th October
Some of the best moments of the weekend happen around the table.
At every retreat, we come together for wholesome, nourishing meals created by our incredible Chef Stevie. Food that’s good for your body, packed with flavour, and made to be enjoyed in great company.
Every single meal is included in the price of your retreat - every breakfast, lunch, and dinner, freshly prepared with love. One less thing for you to think about.
🍃 We transformed our beautiful Reformer studio into a serene sanctuary for our Journey Day Retreat. I love that we can create so many magical spaces here!
🍃This was our final retreat of the summer, and it was a powerful one: a beautiful balance of yoga and Pilates, slowing down and connection.
We shared a gorgeous lunch, soaked in the hot tub, and closed with a letting-go fire ritual…..releasing self-limiting beliefs and creating space for fresh starts.
🍃In between, I’ve still been loving my weekly Reformer classes, watching everyone grow stronger and more confident each session!
🌧️ Donegal weather has thrown us plenty of wind and rain on the beach, but it never stops us! With the right layers (thanks to my cobe ) and a warm-up in the , it’s always worth it, even after a bracing dip in the sea!
👩👧👧 I’ve been grateful for time with family making summer memories, while keeping the work–life balance in check.
Here’s to the changing seasons, fresh starts, and enjoying the late summer energy!🧡
