This dreamy Bealtaine retreat has cold plunges, good vibes and vegan brekkie bowls

This might be the self-care upgrade you didn’t know you needed.
A seriously wholesome mini retreat is landing in East Cork this Saturday, May 2nd, and it’s basically a full reset packed into one very zen morning.
Taking place at the peaceful Hidden Sauna in Bridgefield, Castlemartyr, this Bealtaine-inspired experience is all about slowing down, switching off, and doing something nice for yourself (for once) from 11am to 3pm.
The lineup is giving full wellness era energy: a grounding yoga and meditation session with Lauren Marples to start things off, followed by a Bealtaine ritual to mark the season properly.
From there, it’s straight into the good stuff — a detoxifying sauna, an invigorating cold plunge (brace yourself), and a nature walk with the Bestie Walking Club to shake it all out.
And because no good morning ends without food, there’s also a healthy vegan, gluten-free breakfast bowl waiting at the end.

All of it takes place in a calm, tucked-away setting that feels miles from the chaos — even though it’s right here in Cork. Mats are provided, so all you really need to bring is yourself… and maybe a willingness to get into freezing water.
Whether you’re deep into your wellness phase or just curious, this is one of those “you’ll feel better after it” kind of events. Grab a ticket (€55) over here.
