The Retreat

Explore the Magic of Ireland with Amanda Giacomini and Marisa Radha Weppner

Immerse yourself in the wild beauty of Ireland’s west coast. We will stay at the charming Cliffs of Moher Retreat Center, practice daily yoga, hike along the iconic coastline, pilgrimage to holy wells, and share stories from Celtic Mythology. The retreat center is cozy and stylish and boasts an impressive wellness area complete with infrared and barrel saunas, cold plunges, hot tub, and an herbal steam room. Healthy and delicious meals are prepared with many ingredients sourced straight from the organic garden on the property.

The Cliffs of Moher Retreat Center is situated midway on the Wild Atlantic Way, a scenic driving route that stretches along the western coast of Ireland. It is one of the longest defined coastal driving routes in the world, covering approximately 2,500 kilometers from County Donegal in the north to County Cork in the south. The Cliffs of Moher, located walking distance from the retreat center, are one of Ireland’s most popular attractions with jaw dropping views.

About your guides,
Radha & Amanda

Marisa Radha Weppner

Marisa Radha Weppner is a mom, author, Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, DJ, teacher, minister, psychedelic therapist, community organizer, life coach, podcaster, and entrepreneur. She has taught yoga since 2002. Known for her authentic self-expression, humorous yet grounded, she empowers others to embody their soul’s wisdom, bringing a real-world mix of eastern spirituality and western psychology to her students for remembering, empowerment and transformation. 

As a lover of the wild and free, she has taught at festivals all over the world, like Burning Man, Bonnaroo, Ram Dass Retreats, the Entheowheel, Symbiosis Gathering, Eclipse Festival, WTF, Udaya Live, Wanderlust, the Women & Leadership Conference, and Sun Valley Wellness Fest. She humbly connects with a deep legacy of wisdom by being on Faculty at Esalen Institute. As a passion project that weaves together her love of music, yoga and community, she is the co-director and producer of Yogafort for Treefort Music Fest.

Her mother named her Marisa, but her teacher Ram Dass blessed her with the name Radha. In 2018 she was visiting Ram Dass at his home in Maui, supporting her partner who was working on an album with him. At the end of the recording session, after giving the name Krishna to her partner, and with a twinkle in his eye, he looked straight at her and said, "And you, you are Radha!" Then slapped his thigh and laughed like it was the most delightful thing in the world. She laughed with him, full of joy. She likes it when people call her Radha. It reminds her of her connection to her beloved teacher and invites her to be as deeply devoted, loving and generous as possible.
