AN ESOTERIC QUEST IN THE WEST OF IRELAND
Celtic Mythology, Spirituality & Culture in the Mystical Beauty of Connemara
We are delighted to announce the next Esoteric Quest taking place in the Wild and Sacred West of Ireland — a profound cultural and spiritual journey set against one of Europe’s most ancient and inspiring landscapes.
Full details and registration visit: EsotericQuest.org
Location — Connemara, Ireland
A region of rugged beauty and expansive silence described by Oscar Wilde as a place of “savage beauty.” Where the Wild Atlantic Way meets dramatic mountains, plains, lakes and sea. A landscape that deeply nourishes the soul with mythological sites, holy mountains, sacred islands, and living literary and cultural history.
Killary Lodge — nestled on the shores of Killary Fjord,
Ireland’s only fjord.
A beautifully designed retreat set within native woodland on the Wild Atlantic Way.
Overlooks stunning fjord waters, bounded by the Mweelrea and Maumturk Mountains.
Ideal for immersive gatherings, reflection, music, poetry, and shared experience.
Killary Harbour stretches over 16 km and is one of the few fjords in Ireland. Framed by dramatic peaks and ancient geological wonders, it invites reflection, walking, boat journeys, and wild swimming.
