The Shape of a Céile Dé Teaching Retreat

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. For this, our third Ohio retreat, we will be meeting for four days, so that we can take longer to immerse ourselves in some new practices.

Days begin with meditation before breakfast.
Generally there are two teaching sessions of around one hour's duration every morning, with a break between for silent reflection. Afternoons include another teaching session and time to spend in quiet reflection, either in Nature or indoors, as you wish.
There is another session of sacred conversation, contemplation, 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 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.

The Practical Bits

Plan to arrive no later than 4 pm on Wednesday, March 21, in order to settle into your room and be ready for our first session together, which will be dinner at 5 pm. The retreat will conclude with lunch on Sunday, March 25. Once you have booked your place, you will receive occasional emails with further information, both practical and otherwise, to help you prepare for this gathering.

Our Venue

We will be meeting for the first time at River's Edge - A Place for Reflection and Action on 40 acres of grounds in Cleveland, Ohio. All rooms are private. Both residential and commuter options include all meals for four days, beginning with dinner our first night and ending with lunch on Sunday. Please note dietary needs on your registration form.

Ongoing Community: Newcomers will have the opportunity to consider further, ongoing teachings and practices within established Céile Dé groups that offer a powerful container for those who seek a path that invites commitment and openness to real inner change.
