TOUR ITINERARY
This tour is LAND ONLY. You are responsible to book your
international flights to IRELAND. Please book your international air to arrive at Shannon
International Airport (SNN) by 12:00PM
in order to give yourself time to rest before our evening activities. See
Day 13 for instructions for booking your departing flight from Dublin
(DUB).
We gather after breakfast for a Group Meeting and a Presentation by Mark: The Mystical History of Ireland Afterwards we depart to Galway, with stops along the way to visit the Cliffs of Moher and the Burren, with the Poulnabroune Dolmen.
Situated on the
Atlantic Ocean and bordering the Burren Area, the Cliffs of Moher are
one of Ireland's most spectacular sights. Standing over 750 ft. above the
ground at their highest point and almost 5 miles long, the Cliffs boast one
of the most amazing views in Ireland. On a clear day, the Aran Islands are
visible in Galway Bay as well as the valleys and hills of Connemara. To the
south of the cliffs is Hag's Head and was once the site of a castle. The
cliffs reach their highest point just north of O' Brien's Tower. Cornelius
O’ Brien, a descendant of Brian Boru (who defeated the Vikings in battle),
built a Tower at the cliffs in order to enjoy some tea with his lady
friends. The Tower is adjacent to the sea stack, Breanan Mór, which stands
over 230 ft. above the foaming waves and is home to some of the Burren’s
wildlife. Atlantic Edge, the exciting new interpretive center at the Cliffs
of Moher, that is built into the natural landscape is a huge domed cave that
contains images, exhibits, displays & experiences exploring different
elements of the mighty Cliffs of Moher: Ocean, Rock, Nature and Man.
The Burren,
part of which forms the Burren
National Park,
is composed of limestone pavements, which have been eroded to a distinctive
pattern. This pavement is crisscrossed by cracks known as
grykes.
A myriad of wild flora grows in them, which is a mixture of Arctic and
Mediterranean flowers such as gentian and orchids. Huge caves and rivers
which flood suddenly when it rains are found under them. The Burren contains
dozens of
megalithic tombs
and
Celtic crosses,
as well as a ruined
Cistercian Abbey
dating back to the 12th century. There are also small villages abandoned
during the famine period and green roads on which you can walk for miles
without ever seeing a car. As we drive through this truly an exceptional
part of Ireland, open your heart and mind to what it has to share with you!
The
Poulnabrone Dolmen
is a portal tomb among the most famous landmarks in the Burren, in
County
Clare. (Poll
na mBrón in
Irish means "hole of the quern stones". This tomb was in use during
the Neolithic and radiocarbon dates place its use between 3,800 - 3,600 BCE.
During excavations in the 1980's one portal stone was replaced, and the
chamber, portico and cairn were excavated. The remains of up to 22
individuals from the Neolithic were found. Sixteen adults, six children, and
one newborn (from the Bronze Age) were among the remains. Their bodies were
not cremated. Only one adult was over the age of 40 while most died before
they reached 30. Most of the children were between the ages of five and
fifteen. The skeletal remains show evidence of arthritis. The tip of a flint
or chert projectile point was found embedded in the hip of one individual.
Two other healed fractures, one skull and one rib, were also found. Dental
wear analysis showed evidence for the consumption of stone-grounded cereals.
Also found in the burial chamber was a polished stone axe, 2 stone beads, a
decorated bone pendant, a fragment of a mushroom-headed bone pin, 2 quartz
crystals, several sherds of coarse pottery, and a number of arrowheads and
scrapers.
After lunch on your own with the group along the way, we continue to Galway,
arriving in the afternoon.
Galway,
a walled medieval city originally, is steeped in history, compact, friendly
and easy to get around. Galway’s signature image has always been of the
Claddagh, a small, traditional community that was there long before the
present city, at the mouth of the Corrib River where it joins the Atlantic
Ocean.
Its ancient seafaring and fishing traditions unique even in Ireland, include
the Galway Hookers (traditional sailing boats) and Claddagh wedding rings
which are famous the world over today. The city’s hub is 18th-century Eyre
Square, a popular meeting spot surrounded by shops, and traditional pubs
that often offer live Irish folk music. Nearby, stone-clad cafes, boutiques
and art galleries line the winding lanes of the Latin Quarter, which retains
portions of the medieval city walls.
After we check into the hotel you have free time to rest and relax.
Sleep in a bit and enjoy a leisurely breakfast. Today you have a
full day free in Galway
for individual exploration. Here's a
few suggestions:
5) If you want to take in some
entertainment, book at Druid Theatre.
Founded in 1975 it was the first Irish professional theater company to be
established outside Dublin. It has led the way in the development of Irish
theater in the ensuing years and is generally credited with making Galway
one of the premier cultural centers in Ireland. Or, you might see what's on
at the
Town Hall Theater.
Dating from the 1820's, it was extensively refurbished in 1995, and is the
major performance arts venue in Galway, hosting drama, concerts, musicals
and diverse events.
Lunch and dinner on your own.
Depart after
breakfast for a
full day visit to the
Aran Islands.
Located in the heart of Galway Bay, the Aran Islands offer us a
glimpse into a way of life that has long since disappeared from most of the
country. The Islands' raw beauty and charm leaves many visitors longing to
return again and again. While the southwest coast of the island battles
with the Atlantic, the northeast coast offers smooth passage for visitors
between the mainland at Ros a' Mhíl and the Islands.The three
Aran Islands, Inisheer,
Inishmaan and Inishmore, standing out in the Galway bay, form a mass of limestone, similar
to the Burren’s geology. Today the inhabitants live essentially off fishing
and tourism while remaining strongly attached to Gaelic traditions. These
islands are the last real “Gaelthacht” of the modern Ireland. Inishmore, the largest of them and made up of 14
tiny villages, is covered in old stone walls and little fields.
On the West
Coast of the island, majestic cliffs drop into the wild Atlantic ocean. This
area is dominated by
Dun Aengus, one of the
most impressive
Neolithic forts in Europe.
On arrival we
take a 2.5 hour minibus excursion around the island, followed by a
walk to Dun Aengus, perched on the edge of a 300 ft cliff. The
ancient fort covers 11 acres and is comprised of three concentric enclosures
defended by stout walls of dry masonry, all of which are well preserved.
A trip to the
islands offers a journey through time, as well as an encounter with the old
Ireland, the mythical Ireland.
At some point during our journey this morning we'll take time for a
meditation
to connect with
the palpable ancient energies from the distant past, as well as the Ancient
Ones who lived here.
Return to the
village for lunch with the group.
Then you have
some free time to explore on your own. Perhaps you’d like to visit
Teampall Chiaráin and the Standing Stones
in the village of Mainistir
We return in in
the late afternoon to Rossaveal and the mainland.
This evening we enjoy our group dinner at our hotel,
another opportunity to share with each other
about our day's experiences. Day 5. Thursday, September 29. To Connemara National Park; Continue to Westport (B/L/D) 
 Connemara National Park We gather after breakfast for a Group Meeting and a Presentation by Mark: Those Amazing Druids
We depart Galway this morning after breakfast, on our way to Sligo.
Our major destination today is Connemara
National Park,
a vast peninsula bordered by the arid
and rocky coastline of Galway
Bay in the south.
Connemara, a land of lakes and rivers, bogs and mountains, has many
small villages with stone walls and thatched cottages. Gaelic is still the
spoken language there, where little has changed since the beginning of time.
It's without a doubt the wildest and the most romantic part of Ireland. On
its northern shore the land is harsher and more secret, with spectacular
views of the ocean and the beautiful fjord of Killary
Harbour, as well as the steep mountains
overlooking numerous lakes and large bog areas.
Some of the Park's mountains, namely Benbaun, Bencullagh, Benbrack
and Muckanaght, are part of the famous Twelve Bens range. It was established
and opened to the public in 1980.
Connemara is a real paradise for Nature
lovers and those in search of strong emotions. As we journey through this
wild and sacred land,
meditate
to receive the message it has to offer
you today.
We'll enjoy
lunch at the Tea Room in the Park.
Left to Right: Carrowkeel, Carrowkeel Cairn G, Carrickglass Portal Tomb We check out of the hotel after breakfast; on our way to Sligo. Lunch on your own with the group. Our day will take us to Carrowkeel Passage Tomb and Carrickglass Portal Tomb. Carrowkeel Passage Tomb, dated to 3400 to 3100 BCE, is a beautifully situated neolithic hilltop passage tomb complex consisting of 14 passage cairns identified with letters. The passage cairns are spread across a number of hills that form part of the Bricklieve Mountain range. Bricklieve means the speckled mountains, and is a possible reference to their appearance when the quartz rock survived on the outside of the cairns, causing them to sparkle in the sun. Carrowkeel is one of the "big four" passage tomb cemeteries in Ireland, the other three being Newgrange, Lough Crew and Carrowmore, all of which we’ll visit during our journey. The fourteen passage tombs of Carrowkeel are set on high ground above Lough Arrow. The tombs seem to be oriented towards the area of Knocknarea and Carrowmore, north of Sligo. Cairn G has a light-box, similar to that at Newgrange. The passages of several of the passage-mounds align with Knocknarea at the maximum setting of the moon's 18.6 year cycle.
Minutes away
from civilization, we enter this landscape of deserted blanket bog and
heather-covered hills, punctuated with jutting limestone cliffs and rift
valleys. We’ll explore the passage tombs; some may be entered by carefully
crawling into the womb-like burial chambers. If you do so, take a few
moments to let your eyes adjust to the dim light coming in through the
passage, and then possibly be transported back in time to when it was
constructed. Andrea and Mark will facilitate a
meditation
for the group
to assist you to connect with the ancient builders and ancestors of this
land still shrouded in the mists of time.
Carrickglass Portal Tomb, located east of Lough Arrow, is
fondly known as the Clown Prince of Irish Dolmens or the Labby Rock (leaba, meaning bed - as in ‘Dermot and
Grania’s Bed’). It's a
massive megalithic portal tomb with a capstone of approximately 65 tons.
Built between 3000-2500 BCE, this dolmen is situated at the bottom of a
small valley in the townland of Carrickglass. The Labby consists of a
well-preserved chamber with a large capstone, which rests on four supports.
The two portal stones at the front have a blocking stone behind them to seal
the chamber. It has not been excavated in modern times, but local historical
information says that Lady Louisa Tennison of Kilronan Castle may have
removed cremated remains from it in the middle of the 19th century.
This morning
head out north of Sligo city to the countryside to visit Creevykeel Court
Tomb,
located on the
foothills of Tievebaun Mountain. It's one of the finest full-court tombs in
the country. However it is also a complex multi-epoch and multi-purpose
structure, its earliest parts dating from the Late Neolithic (c. 2500 BCE).
The Irish name for the site was Caisleán Bhaoisgin, which may have
meant “Castle of Enchantment.”
When first
catalogued in 1909, the immense stone pile, wildly overgrown, was recorded
as “Giant’s Graves,” and described as “Three ancient graves situated
about 100 yards SE of Mrs. McGown’s shop in a little wood at Creevykeel
Crossroads. The name stuck!
Dating from the
Neolithic Period, 4000-2500 BCE, the tomb was excavated in 1935 and shortly
afterwards restored. The excavations uncovered four cremation burials,
decorated and undecorated Neolithic pottery, flint arrow heads, polished
stone axes and other artifacts, including a chalk ball.
Little evidence of burial was found, though some cremated bone was found in
small pits in both chambers.& The cairn is
trapezoidal in shape and about 160 ft. in length. The front of the cairn is
about 65 ft. across.
We return to
Sligo later morning. Lunch on your own. This afternoon we're off to visit Carrowmore Megalithic Cemetery has over 60 stone circle and passage tombs, making it one of the largest Stone Age cemeteries in Europe. It’s also among Ireland’s oldest cemetery of megalithic tombs, with monuments ranging from an amazing 5500 to 6500 years old. Archaeologists have recorded over 60 tombs; 30 are visible. The setting of the graveyard suggests a careful selection, in which the dead were seen to be sleeping in shadow of the goddess, who Herself was placed into the sacred landscape. Andrea and Mark will facilitate a meditation to assist you to connect with the Spirit of the Land and Eire Herself!
Then on to
Knocknarea, where the 1,100 ft. high Knocknarea (Cnoc Na Ri or "Hill of the Moon") mountain
dominates the Cuil Irra peninsula. It reveals a connection with astronomy,
which is supported by its position in line with the Carrowkeel passage
mounds, suggesting that this hill was likely once a significant part of the
prehistoric landscape. KKnocknarea seems to have been a major place of
ritual and meeting in the Neolithic era. The entire top of the
mountain on the eastern side is circumscribed by a
approximately half-mile long embankment, 6 ft.
wide and 3 ft. tall. Hut sites have been
located on the inside of this area. A large amount of debris from making
stone tools has been collected.
Sitting on top
is Queen Maeve's Cairn, a neolithic passage tomb dating to around
3000 BCE. Around 1000 years younger than Carrowmore, the cairn is 40,000
tons of stone, 180 ft. wide by 33 ft. high. It’s never been excavated,
despite speculation that a tomb on the scale of the one at Newgrange lies
buried below.
The huge cairn
is said to be the grave of the legendary
Iron Age Queen Maeve, whose father, the high king of Ireland, gave
her the province of Connacht as a gift. Who is to say that Queen Maeve was
not tucked into an existing monument? It is considered bad luck to remove a
stone from the cairn, and good luck to take one up the hill with you to
deposit on it.
We return to Sligo and our hotel in the late afternoon.
Loughcrew Megalithic Cairns We check out of the hotel after breakfast and depart Sligo to County Meath. Our drive takes us through the continually wild and picturesque Irish countryside. Lunch on your own with the group along the way. This afternoon we visit a landscape of inspiring beauty and intriguing history at Loughcrew Megalithic Cairns, which some say is the best kept secret in archaeological
After our visit we continue to Trim and check in at our hotel.
We gather
after breakfast for a
Group Meeting
and a Presentation by Mark:
The Kings of Ireland and the Stone of Scone. Today we visit one of the world's most famous archeological valleys, the Boyne Valley, 30 miles north of Dublin. Here the development of humanity can be traced back over 9,000 years to Neolithic times, with many well-preserved sites, buildings and monuments. The highlight of our visit is to the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Newgrange, the most visited archaeological site in Ireland, with its spectacular world-famous passage grave containing kerb stones engraved with megalithic art. According to archaeologists, it's over 5000 years old; the most reliable carbon 14 dates offer that it was constructed around 3,200 BCE. It's a truly massive structure, measuring 250 ft. in diameter by 40 ft. height and it contains over 200,000 ton of earth and stone in its fabric. Indeed, its glistening façade of quartz is one of the country’s most memorable vistas. The most stunning example of megalithic art at Newgrange is the beautifully carved entrance stone with its Triple Goddess spiral. The Tuatha Dé Danaan, who ruled Ireland in ancient mythology, were said to have erected Newgrange as a burial place for their chief, Dagda Mór, and his three sons. As you walk this hallowed ground and enter into the passage tomb, take time to focus and connect with the Ancient Ones who built this phenomenal sacred site.
If
Knowth is open, we will also be able to visit this ancient site.
The Great Mound there is said by archaeologist to have been built
over 5000 years ago, probably after the construction of Newgrange. The Great
Mound at Knowth is similar in size to Newgrange and is surrounded by 18
smaller satellite mounds. It has two passages with entrances on opposite
sides, the western passage is 112 ft
and the eastern is 132 ft. long, ending with a cruciform chamber.
Lunch on your own at the Visitors Center and time
to visit the excellent on-site museum and gift shop for souvenirs.
We
return to
our
hotel
in the later afternoon for a relaxing second night. Our group dinner will be
here again this evening.
We
check out of the hotel after breakfast
and depart to Dublin, arriving later morning in the
capital of and largest city in Ireland, located near the midpoint
of Ireland's east coast, at the mouth of the River Liffey. A city with
humble beginnings as a Viking trading port, Dublin evolved into a walled
medieval city and then into an elegant Georgian metropolis with wide
streets, gracious squares and great houses, neatly bordered by its two
canals. We check into our hotel located near the heart of the city.
Perhaps you'd like to visit the National Museum of Archaeology and
History, with its phenomenal collection of artifacts from every period
of Irish history. View the famous Sheela-na-Gigs, as well as the famed Tara
Brooch, an exquisite example of Celtic gold and silver metalwork dating to
the beginning of the 8th century; the early 9th-century Ardagh Chalice made
of silver, gold, and bronze, found with other smaller treasures in a
Limerick potato field in 1868, as well as a replica of the Gundestrup
Cauldron, found in a peat bog at Gundestrup, Denmark and believed to be of
Celtic art. You can also view several bodies that were recovered from bogs!
After breakfast we board our motor coach for our drive through the lovely
and picturesque Irish countryside to Kildare, where we visit the
Solas
Bride Center and the
Sisters
of Bridget. In 1992 the Brigidine Sisters came to live in
Kildare to re-connect with their roots, to reclaim Brigid in a new way for a
new millennium. They founded a small Christian Center for Celtic
Spirituality in the spirit of Brigid of Kildare. An outreach community of
women and men, who call themselves
Cairde
Bhride, (Friends of Brigid) has developed around the Solas
Bhride Center in association with the Brigidine Sisters. Inspired by the
values of Brigid, they work together to promote peace, justice,
reconciliation and care of the earth.
We return to Dublin late afternoon. Dinner
is
on your own
tonight.
For our last day on the Emerald Isle you have a free day to explore Dublin on your own. Besides the suggestions listed above for Day 10, here are a few more! 1) The Book of Kells - This is without a doubt the most fabulous treasure of Ireland. Located in the heart of lovely Trinity College in the center of the city, this museum brilliantly explains the creation of illuminated manuscripts by the early medieval monks. But, the best part is the Book of Kells itself, a transcendent work of art that took generations to produce. Stick your nose up close and lose yourself in the intricate swirls and images. A staggering masterpiece. And, for a suitable encore, you exit the museum through The Long Room, a work of art in itself that houses 200,000 old and rare books. 2) Dublin Writer’s Museum - Ireland has produced four Nobel prize winners and this magnificent eighteenth century mansion in the north city center celebrates the island's literary tradition. Books, letters and portraits bring to life Swift, Sheridan, Shaw and Wilde, Yeats, Joyce and Beckett.
This evening enjoy our
Farewell Dinner
and entertainment at Taylors Three Rock Pub - Taylors Irish Night
is a rip-roaring night of traditional Irish song
and dance, accompanied by a great selection of quality Irish food to delight
the palate. The resident band and professional Irish dancers provide
breathtaking performances for their audience and never fail to entertain.
The night will begin with a delicious traditional four course Irish dinner,
including an Irish coffee, followed by the traditional Irish band
accompanied by a cast of professional Irish dancers.
We
check out of the hotel after breakfast and depart on our group transfer to
Dublin International Airport.
Service ends on arrival.

A Message from Andrea: This
will be the 4th Sacred Sites Journeys group that I will lead to the land of my ancestors;
previous ones were in 2008, 2009 and 2011. I invite you to join our group of spiritual
pilgrims as we explore the potent Celtic sites on the astoundingly beautiful Emerald Isle.
Places that are alive with the ancient wisdom and powerful energies! During our
sacred journey Mark and I will facilitate meditations to assist you
to connect with these transformative energies of the sacred sites and the
Celtic Gods and Goddesses. As well, we will also offer optional group
Sharing Circles, which in the past we've found to be extremely supportive for
integration and mutual support.
