RECCONECT, REST & RESTORE

Reconnect Reset and Restore with us at Yoga Quarter Friday 23rd to Sunday 25th October 2026

As the year turns towards winter and the clocks go back, we are gathering at Temple House for two slow days made for rest. The timing is deliberate. You arrive as the evenings draw in, and you leave having gained an hour, a little more space, and the kind of quiet that is hard to find at home.

A weekend to rest properly, restore your energy, and reconnect with yourself. Temple House in the heart of Sligo, is on the West Coast of Ireland and this majestic Georgian House sits in a thousand acres of parkland, woodland, and the house overlooks the lake and the ruins of a Knights Templar castle still stand at the water's edge, where they have watched the seasons turn since the twelfth century.

For one weekend, the whole house is ours. This is a place that does the work of slowing you down before you have even unpacked. Lake views greet you from your window. Fires are lit, and grand yet welcoming rooms, with inviting sofas and quiet corners, encourage you to settle in and simply be. Long corridors, high ceilings and the gentle hush of an old country house at rest create an immediate sense of calm.

Outside, the grounds invite you to wander and explore. Or simply stay exactly where you are, enjoying the views across the lake from the warmth and comfort of the house.

Holding Space

The retreat is led by Susan and the team from Yoga Quarter, who will guide every practice across the weekend. The pace is gentle and the welcome is genuine. This is a time to come back to your body, reconnect with your breath, and let the noise fall away. You do not need to be flexible, experienced or anything other than ready to switch off. 

Two nights. One beautiful old house. Time to rest, room to restore, and space to reconnect, with yourself and with the people around you.

The rhythm of the weekend

Friday afternoon, after 3pm Arrive, settle in and find your room. We begin softly, with an evening of yoga nidra to let the journey fall away and the weekend begins by a cosy lit fire.

Saturday A morning of yoga to wake the body slowly. The afternoon is yours. For those who would like it, there is an optional session, Root to Rise: a journey through scent, movement and mindfulness, where you will blend your own fragrance to carry the weekend home with you. 

There is time to walk the grounds, sit by the lake or simply do nothing at all, before we close the day with a beautiful meal in the dining room and yoga Nidra before bed.

Sunday A lazy morning, helped along by that extra hour, with a final gentle practice. For those who would like to linger a little longer, you're warmly invited to join us for an optional afternoon trip to the beautiful VOYA Seaweed Baths in Strandhill. Set on the Atlantic coast, these award-winning seaweed baths are the perfect way to round off the weekend, soaking in warm, mineral-rich seawater while listening to the waves roll in. €45 per person.

From here we will have lunch and then head for a stroll along the beach weather permitting before we had back to Belfast. These are optional and additional activities and costs, and we can share these with you. Or you can take your time over a slow goodbye and head for home feeling lighter than when you arrived.

Come back to yourself Two nights. One beautiful old house. Space to breathe, rest and reconnect, with yourself and with the people around you.
