Weekend Retreats at the
 Boghill Centre, Kilfenora, Co.Clare

You can read the full programme of a Tribal Spirit Retreat  here.

Now in their sixteenth year, Tribal Spirit Boghill retreats are well-known as magical and uplifting explorations of the power of community music.  Set in 50 acres of grounds, the privacy and beauty of the Boghill Centre's surroundings enhance the journey into enchanting music and playful celebration.

Prices:

3 Day retreats (all retreats except May) are on a sliding scale from €225 - €165 (note €120 of this cost is for the Boghill fee for accomodation and meals).
Bealtaine 4 Day retreat is on a sliding scale from €285 - €200 (note €180 of this cost is for the Boghill fee for accomodation and meals).
Workshops run from 7.30pm on Friday night until 5.30pm on Sunday, apart from Bealtaine (May) which runs until 5.30om on Monday.

Prices include all meals, use of all facilities, dormitory accommodation and all workshop facilitation.  
Some single and twin rooms are available at €12.00 a night extra.
The concession prices are available for unwaged and students and are offered in return for a little help setting up before and tidying up after the workshop.  Please get in touch with us if you would like to apply.
Tribal Spirit Weekend Workshops are aimed at adults, but older teens (15+) are welcome with an adult guardian.  All Tribal Spirit workshops are drug, alcohol, and mobile phone free zones.
See the full programme here.


For Retreat bookings please email us or call (067) 41721 

Note: the Brigit, Spring Equinox and Autumn Equinox weekends are special beginner friendly workshops open to absolute beginners and experienced players as well.  No previous experience of making music is needed.  Starting at the very beginning, exploring the drum and playing music together, we will wander playfully and deeply into a journey of very powerful and beautiful music.
Bealtaine, Samhain, and Yule are all aimed at those who have been to at least one of the regular Tribal Spirit classes or day workshops led by John Bowker.
