Nicky Halliday and Pernille Villumsem have joined forces to create a truly unique women’s gathering which will nourish your mind, body and soul through movement, music, meditation complimented by the healthiest tastiest vegan food. This retreat will leave you feeling re-energised, relaxed, glowing and ready to embark on a new healthier lifestyle.

Monalea barn is a stunning rural retreat, only an hour from Dublin, which is nestled in a quiet valley high in the southern reach of the Wicklow mountains at the foot of Croghan hill. With long sandy beaches nearby and lots of trekking and forests, it’s a complete escape from everyday life.

Food

Delicious plant-based food by Nicky Halliday.

Nicky studied Culinary Arts in a holistic nutrition school in California. This professional training focused on cooking delicious nourishing food for optimum health. As Nicky is also a qualified nutritional therapist, she dedicates her time to preparing dishes that can be adapted to everybody's health requirements. Her food is not only bursting with nutrients, it tastes delicious too.

Yoga

The classes will be a combination of flow, hatha, yin and yoga nidra led by Pernille Villumsen.

Pernille is a certified 500RYT yoga instructor with a lot of passion for the practice. She will be sharing the beauty of movement and stillness in different yoga classes over the weekend. Her classes are always very heartfelt and she will make sure that everyone feel comfortable in the space, no matter their previous yoga experience. The main intention with the classes is to dive deeper into self-discovery on and off the mat.
