Discover Ireland: Photography & Mindfulness Retreat
Andrea Jenkins Wallace, Charlotte Roennau
Tuition $6,950 ‑ $8,250
Code FDIN11-26
This immersive international retreat invites travelers to deepen their experience of place through photography and mindfulness. Set on Ireland’s Dingle Peninsula—celebrated for its striking natural beauty and enduring cultural traditions—the program encourages participants to slow down, observe closely, and engage more fully with the landscapes and communities they encounter. Photography and mindfulness work together to support presence, curiosity, and reflection. Much of the Dingle Peninsula lies within the Gaeltacht, where Irish remains the language of daily life. The land carries visible traces of human history spanning thousands of years, from ancient settlements and monastic sites to working harbors and living craft traditions. Over the course of the week, travelers move between guided experiences and independent exploration, allowing space for both shared discovery and personal response to the rhythms of the land. Daily activities weave together photography, walking, yoga, and mindfulness practices led by Andrea and Charlotte, alongside site visits with a local Irish guide. Emphasizing experience over output, the retreat invites travelers to consider how stillness, attention, and cultural context shape the way we see—and how photography can deepen our understanding of place rather than simply record it.
