On the wild edge of Ireland, where sea, sky, and ancient land meet in quiet conversation, lies a stone labyrinth overlooking Clew Bay. Here, walking becomes a form of prayer, and photography becomes a way of listening. This retreat invites you into a creative pilgrimage where each step and each image becomes an opening into deeper presence, wonder, and soul.
Imagine…
Slowing down into the rhythm of the tides.
Letting the Irish landscape stir your senses.
Walking the labyrinth with a question, an intention, or a longing.
And allowing your camera to reveal what your heart is already noticing.
Photography, like the labyrinth, is a contemplative pathway. One offers a physical journey into the center; the other offers a visual journey into the essence of what calls to you. Together, they awaken a way of seeing that is spacious, intuitive, symbolic, and deeply personal.

Photography is another creative passion for Catherine and her book The Creative Photographer won a Silver Nautilus Award in the Creative Process Category in 2012. As a SoulCollage® Facilitator Trainer, Catherine loves teaching others how to facilitate workshops using the SoulCollage® process which uses images as a form of “soul language” to access our inner wisdom.
