IRELAND IS CALLING
"Ireland is a land of poets and legends, of dreamers and rebels." - Nora Roberts
Imagine waking up in an award-winning retreat center on the Wild Atlantic Coast. Eating food grown in the soil just outside your window. Moving through morning practice as the Irish mist lifts off the cliffs. Sitting with both inventors of the Lucia N°03 as the Atlantic turns gold at dusk. Walking ancient limestone landscapes that have held ceremony for five thousand years. Taking six days to genuinely pause, sink in and remember.
Celebrate the Autumn Equinos with us: September 19–24, 2026. 18 spots.
Will you be one of them?
TIME IN NATURE
Ten acres of seaview land on the Wild Atlantic Way. The Cliffs of Moher a short walk. The Atlantic constant. Ireland in late September does something to the nervous system that words are genuinely inadequate for.
JOIN USCONSCIOUS
NOURISHMENT
Organic, local, much of it grown on site, prepared with deep care by local chefs twice daily. Brunch at 11am. Dinner at 7pm.
JOIN USLUCIA N°03
Multiple group sessions and an interactive workshop with the device's co-inventors, Dr. Dirk Proeckl and Dr. Engelbert Winkler, alongside Allison Pelissier. A special opportunity to receive from the inventors themselves and ask questions in a causal setting all week.
JOIN USCOMMUNITY
Eighteen people. Shared meals, morning practices, cliff walks and evenings by the fire. Enjoy the thermal wellness suite together including the barrel sauna, steam room, cold plunge, and hot tub. Perfect sized group to be intimate yet varied resonant community.
JOIN USGENTLE YET ENLIVENING MORNINGS
Morning Kriya yoga and Meditation with Patrick: ancient practices to begin each day in the body before the day opens into light and depth in the Cliffs of Moher's gorgeous studio.
JOIN USYAGYA FIRE CEREMONY
An ancient Vedic fire ceremony for purification of mind and environment, led by Patrick at dusk on Tuesday — after the sacred site visit to the Burren and Poulnabrone Dolmen.
JOIN USCACAO & ECSTATIC DANCE
Sacred cacao opens the week and gathers the circle. One evening of ecstatic dance in the glass-fronted Atlantic view studio. The heart first, then the body.
JOIN USBREATHWORK & SINGING CIRCLE
Patrick Collins leads Kriya Yoga Breathwork every morning, while Michelle Riordan leads a singing circle across the week — two different ways into the same interior space, held by guides who have spent years learning what breath genuinely moves when properly guided.
JOIN USHELIOTROPIC BREATHWORK
Dr. Engelbert Winkler and Dr. Dirk Proeckl lead a Heliotropic Breath session — their original method working with breath and light as a unified practice. Available in very few places in the world. Never quite like this.
JOIN USVORTEX HEALING SESSIONS
Allison will be offering several Vortex Energy Healing Sessions across the week. Vortex Healing is a holistic system of multi-dimensional healing & inner awakening, a great complement to the other experiences across the week.
JOIN USLUXURY ACCOMODATIONS
Fifteen beautifully appointed bedrooms across the retreat. Warm, considered, quiet. Atlantic or garden views. Ensuite or private adjoining bathroom. Waking up here in September, with the sea light coming through the window, is its own kind of deep sigh.
JOIN USHOW YOU'LL FEEL AFTER
Lighter. Clearer. Inspired. More at home in your own body.
The week is designed to help you unwind the summer, stabilise the nervous system and let in more light in every sense. Guests will leave with a renewed sense of what is possible when the body, mind & spirit are genuinely nourished together.
YOUR RETREAT GUIDES & SPECIAL GUESTS
Here to support you in having the best experience possible
Allison Pelissier
Retreat Leader - Lucia N°03 Guide & Trainer - Vortex Energy Healer
As the first American Lucia N°03 practitioner, trainer and an official U.S. and global distributor, Allison has spent over twelve years facilitating light sessions, sharing workshops and trainings and holding transformational containers around the world.
Allison has developed a practice grounded in psychology, ceremonial tradition and an unwavering belief in the human capacity for luminous experience. She is a Vortex Healing practitioner, intuitive reader and the architect of this gathering.
Ireland has been calling for a while and this special constellation of souls is such a gift to be part of.
Michelle Riordan
Retreat Center Owner - Breathwork Facilitator - Ceremonialist
Michelle is the founder and heart behind Cliffs of Moher Retreat; one of Ireland's most celebrated wellness destinations, built from her deep belief that this particular landscape could hold people in genuine transformation.
She has trained alongside James Nestor and Wim Hof, spent years learning what breath moves when properly guided, and recently welcomed the Lucia N°03 into the retreat's offering. She has an intimate connection with this land, Irish Culture, this center and what it takes to create a container where people truly thrive.
It will be a gift to have her with us for this retreat, and she will offer a singing workshop.
Patrick Collins
Retreat Leader - Kriya Yoga Teacher
Patrick carries the Himalayan Kriya tradition with both precision and warmth: a lineage that understands the body as an instrument of consciousness rather than an obstacle to it. He opens each morning with breath practice and meditation, holds the Yagya fire ceremony at dusk on Tuesday and brings a quality of steady, playful presence that runs quietly through the whole week.
Patrick will be available for 1:1 support throughout the retreat. His Kriya initiations and other offerings can be found at www.heartYAM.com/
Dr. Dirk Proeckl
Special Guest - Neurologist · Psychologist · Co-Inventor of the Lucia N°03
Dr. Proeckl trained as a medical neurologist with a specific focus on the relationship between psyche and nervous system—research spanning psychosomatic rehabilitation, neurotransmitter distribution in the central nervous system and the neurological basis of altered states of consciousness. For over a decade he has used the Lucia N°03 within his own clinical practice, developing protocols grounded in years of direct observational data.
His current explorations are pushing at the edges of what light-based consciousness technology may be capable of, including early investigations into how the Lucia N°03 may support those living with dementia, and how carefully calibrated light experiences might be combined with low doses of plant medicines to deepen their therapeutic potential.
Together with Dr. Winkler, he developed both the Lucia N°03 and the framework of Neuropsycholysis: the science of how optically-induced altered states dissolve fixed psychological structures and restore the brain's own coherence.
"The therapeutically relevant extension of consciousness in Neuropsycholysis will not be achieved through a drug — but through optical neurostimulation."
Dr. Engelbert Winkler
Special Guest - Psychologist · Co-Inventor of the Lucia N°03 · Creator of Heliotropic Breathwork
Dr. Winkler's path to the Lucia N°03 began at age seven with a near-death experience that became the organizing question of his entire professional life. That early encounter with light, and with the dissolution of ordinary self on the other side of it, led him to spend five decades asking one question: could this experience be made available to others, safely and repeatably, without requiring proximity to death?
He studied philosophy, Pedagogics and psychology in Innsbruck, completed advanced training in existential analysis and hypnotherapy, and founded the Kooperative Familienberatung family counseling institute in 1994.
His research into the neuronal basis of near-death phenomena: drawing on Kenneth Ring's landmark body of work and analyzing shamanic, meditative and esoteric traditions across cultures, provided the theoretical foundation for what would become the Lucia N°03.
Together with Dr. Proeckl, he built the technology and developed the framework of Neuropsycholysis. He is the creator of Heliotropic Breathwork, his original method working with breath and light as a unified practice, available in very few places in the world.
"The dark is equally valid to the light — both are part of us. We tend to run away from what is uncomfortable, but it is better to understand what makes us uncomfortable so that we can challenge ourselves to overcome it."
Carola Zimmer
Special Guest - Sociotherapist · Therapeutic Storyteller · Creator of Ka Stories
Carola Zimmer was present at the moment the spark of the Lucia N°03 came through — one of its co-creators in the deepest sense, a guiding presence from the very beginning even if not named among its inventors.
She spent her professional life working with people in psychological and psychiatric crisis, and in that work discovered something clinical language alone could not hold: that story, told in the right way, reaches places analysis cannot. Ka Stories emerged from that understanding — part children's book series, part therapeutic tool, following a child and their luminous inner companion Ka through everyday fears and anxieties, using breath, light and quiet magic to build resilience from within. The books speak equally to children and the adults who love them, because the fear of the dark does not belong only to children.
At Inner Light Revival, Carola brings Ka Stories into the evening: illuminated storytelling and embodied transmission that works on the nervous system the way good stories always have: gently, precisely and deeper than expected.

IS IRELAND CALLING?
Co. Clare sits at the westernmost edge of Europe — the last land before the Atlantic opens into open water. The landscape here is ancient: limestone karst, green fields ending at sheer clifftops, sea light that changes every hour.
Late September is when it earns its reputation. The tourists are gone. The light lengthens and deepens. The evenings carry that quality unique to the Irish autumn: cool, luminous, quietly expansive.
It's also the time of the equinox - the balance between the light and the dark, richly celebrated in both Megalithic and Irish traditions.
If Ireland has been appearing in your life, are you ready listen?

REVIEWS FROM PAST RETREATS:
May 8, 2020
This was my second time to visit this retreat. Everything from start to finish was amazing. Be prepared for your mind and body to catch up with each other ...The accommodation is so comfortable, clean and there are different rooms/hubs to relax on your own for quiet time or spend chatting with fellow yogis. The food is beautiful, very tasty and cooked with care. The staff are so friendly and helpful. The cold baths are cold!
Mas B
Patrick has a calm, welcoming manner and the skills to adjust the practices to meet practitioners where they are. His kind and patient nature and attention to the practitioners' experiences with the practices made me feel supported throughout the sadhana

I had the most beautiful time last weekend. From the yoga, to the food and the breathtaking views it was everything I needed for a perfect reset. Aoife and Ciara were so warm and welcoming and every detail was thoughtfully considered. Thank you to all the team for such a memorable experience.
