To some, September is a kind of New Year.

It’s a time to put the excesses of summer behind us and open a clean new chapter.

If you need a little inspiration and guidance, an upcoming retreat in the seaside town of Kinsale is just the thing.

Om + Nom is a full day’s escape from your normal routine.

Run by The Kinsale Experience Company as part of YogaFSTVL, the fun begins at 9am on Saturday, September 22nd with a ‘Cosmic Bubbles’ reception before the first yoga and meditation session.

At noon, the group will enjoy brunch, including a ‘make your own smoothie’ workshop, where you can collect a wealth of handy tips on which ingredients make a real difference to your wellbeing.

The afternoon session will focus on rituals, journaling and creative visualisation, before a restorative yin yoga class.

Bliss.

Walking on air and feeling fully zen, the group will then enjoy an essential oils workshop where all participants will learn how to create a personal blend.

The day will finish with a Nom Nourish celebration dinner, where everyone will have a chance to kick back and reflect on the day.

Tickets are a bargain €75 (booking is now open here) and include everything from your workshops to smoothies, drinks and dinner.

We’re feeling more zen already.
