Welcoming celebrations

We open the weekend at Ard Nahoo Eco Retreat located just outside the village of Dromahair in the wild beauty of
the North Leitrim Glens. Overlooked by the warrior Queen Meabh and close to the "Sleeping Goddess" mountain range, we return to our
spiritual homeland and the Wise Woman Mandala.
The celebration takes place outdoors so come prepared for the Leitrim weather and wear comfortable shoes.
