The Shape of a Céile Dé Teaching Retreat
Céile Dé annual in-person teaching retreats are designed to be intense, deliberately so, in order to create conditions that people are generally unable to manifest by themselves at home and in their everyday lives. Our hope is that this environment will foster a greater ability to recognize one's habitual patterns and to absorb and respond to that which is transmitted in and with the teachings -- and that some of those effects will travel home with each retreatant. Typically:

• Days begin with meditation before breakfast.
• During the morning and afternoon, several hour-long sessions are devoted to teachings and to sharing insights and experiences related to the teachings, with breaks for silent reflection in between.
  
• We try to locate our retreats at venues with extensive grounds and include time in each day's schedule to engage with Nature, God's first scripture.
  
• There is another meditation or some other spiritual practice at midday and again before dinner.
• Usually, there is some free time after dinner, followed by optional evening sessions that give retreatants the choice to rest a little -- or stay engaged.
• Every day ends with a meditation around 9 pm, after which we go straight to bed, in the Great Silence, and hope for rich dreams after a day filled with soul nourishment.

We aim to hold silence at all times outside of sessions. 

Our annual gathering is a ‘Teaching Retreat’, because it is residential, the teaching sessions are supported by contemplative practices throughout the day, and a peaceful silence is held at all times between teaching sessions and meals in order to support absorption of the powerful energies transmitted during teachings and practices. Please read about The Gift of Silence at Céile Dé Teaching Retreats.

Northwest Céile Dé Teaching Retreat

Oíde Sue Mosher will be joining us again at St Andrews bringing material that she and Sr. Fionn have selected for us. 

Céile Dé annual residential teaching retreats are intensive, deliberately so, in order to create conditions that people are generally unable to manifest by themselves at home and in their everyday lives. This also gives people who are following the tradition an opportunity to receive sufficient material to work with until their next annual teaching retreat...

• Days begin with meditation before breakfast.
• Generally, there are two sessions of around one hour's duration every morning, with a break between for silent reflection. Afternoons are a similar shape, but there is more time available to spend in quite reflection, either in Nature or indoors, as you wish. 
• There is another meditation, or some other spiritual practice, before dinner.
• There is usually some free time after dinner - but optional events are available, giving retreatants the choice to rest a little - or stay intense!
• Every day ends with a meditation around 9 pm, after which we go straight to bed and hope for rich dreams after a day filled with soul nourishment.

We aim to hold silence at all times outside of sessions. 
Our annual gathering is a ‘Teaching Retreat’, because it is residential, the teaching sessions are supported by frequent contemplative practices, and because a peaceful silence is held at all times between teaching sessions in order to aid absorption of the powerful energies transmitted during teachings and practices. You can read more about the culture of silence at our teaching retreats HERE.

COVID Precautions

We will continue to follow COVID-19 safety protocols as required, with possible enhancements to mitigate whatever changing risk landscape may emerge nearer the time of the retreat. Proof of full COVID vaccination is still expected, or proof of a negative COVID-19 test within 72 hours of the retreat. It is suggested that everyone test within 72-hours of the retreat, if possible, and we also plan to have tests available during the retreat, as well.

Our hope is that this environment will foster a greater ability to recognize one's habitual patterns and to absorb and respond to that which is transmitted in and with the teachings -- and that some of those effects will travel home with each retreatant. Each Céile De teaching event is hosted by a teacher who has been trained and ordained to pass on the tradition in its purest form. Typically:

• Days begin with meditation before breakfast.
• During the morning and afternoon, several hour-long sessions are devoted to teachings and to sharing insights and experiences related to the teachings, with breaks for silent reflection in between.
