​
ACTIVITY LEVEL
Our journey will take us into caves, enclosed spaces, climbing over gates, walking on uneven surfaces, steep terrain, mud, fields with stinging nettles, ticks and sheep poo. Be aware that Irish weather isn't known for sun, but wet and wyld windy days and yes, even in the summer.
These are full days filled with adventure and many of our activities are described as HIKING. Some days we do stroll and use the vehicles, therefore, A GENERAL LEVEL OF FITNESS IS REQUIRED. You will need to use your personal ownership of your physical abilities, to ensure you get the most out of your sacred journey possible.​
​​
FLIGHTS
Your travel arrangements and payments to/from the tour start/end points are your responsibility. Flights should only be purchased after you have received word that the tour is 'set to go.' This happens when there are a minimum of 10 guests registered, and you will be notified as soon as it happens (at least six months before the tour starts and, of course, sooner if ten guests sign on before that).
​
You will arrange and purchase your own flights to and from Dublin.
SHARING ROOMS
Sharing a room with another traveller can be a wonderful added experience. Many roommates who start a tour as strangers soon become fast friends and remain friends for years to come! Not only will you find a new friend, but there will also be significant price savings when sharing the room cost.
However, there are a few things to consider before agreeing to room with another traveller. I suggest having a phone chat (rather than an email conversation) to discuss the logistics of sharing a room. After your conversation, you can then decide if you wish to share a room with a stranger (who might become a great friend) or opt for your own room. If you really like your own space, make sure you’re 100% comfortable with your decision. Lastly, remember that just because you are roommates, it does not mean you must do everything together.
​
If you are coming alone and would like to share a room, Gillian will partner you up with someone who you feel would be a good fit.
​
ACCOMMODATION
Gillian has done her best to choose comfortable, charming hotels that reflect the local culture and atmosphere.
​
Our stay at Temple House is a lovely treat— we are staying for three nights of the tour. Temple House is a privately-owned country mansion offering a unique and memorable experience. This is not a hotel, so no two rooms are alike, but even the smallest rooms are much bigger than a typical European hotel room, and each room has its own dedicated private bathroom. Rooms will be assigned on a first-come, first-served basis at the discretion of Gillian White. Some sisters choosing the "room-sharing" price may get their own room on a first-come, first-served basis.
​
BEFORE & AFTER OUR TOUR
I suggest arriving in Dublin a day before our tour begins and planning to leave the day after our tour ends. This is a beautiful opportunity to explore Dublin on your own or with some of your wyld sisters. Gillian will provide recommendations for activities, including a walking tour guide. If there is enough interest, I will arrange a dinner for us to gather and connect before our official journey begins.
​
Most flights from Canada and the USA are overnight, so you should book to leave on Saturday, May 24th, and arrive on the morning of Sunday, May 25th (a full day before our tour begins on Monday, May 26th). Likewise, our tour will end later in the day on Monday, June 2nd (around 3:30 pm). Unless you book a flight to leave in the evening, it’s best to stay overnight and leave on Tuesday, June 3rd, or later.
WHERE WE ARE MEETING
To maximize our day of magick, we will meet at 8:30 am sharp on Monday, May 26th. Our meeting point is the designated Meeting Point at Dublin Airport, located adjacent to the Information Desk on the Arrivals Level in Terminal One.​
​
During our tour, I will set up a WhatsApp group to keep in touch with the Wyld Sisters. It's the most efficient way to send updates to the group in Ireland and share all our pictures.
​
CURRENCY AND SPENDING MONEY
The Irish currency is the Euro. The best way to get cash is by using a debit card in ATMs wherever possible. MasterCard and VISA are widely accepted everywhere.
Plan for about €20 per day for lunches. Your daily expenses will be mostly for the purchase of lunches each day, plus snacks, two dinners and any extra drinks you may want. You may want to put aside tip money for our bus driver, average tip sisters' gift is between €30 - €50. This is of course optional.
TRAVEL INSURANCE
You can't prevent the unexpected from happening before or during your trip. Medical emergencies or lost luggage can lead to unexpected expenses. Despite the best planning, unforeseen events can easily disrupt your trip. I strongly recommend purchasing travel insurance, including international medical insurance, trip cancellation and interruption insurance. Check with your local insurance company for the best policy for you.
​
PASSPORT
Passports are required for all international travel. Passports must have a minimum of 6 months validity from the date of scheduled return. Travel documents and airline tickets must exactly match the name and spelling as appears in the passport.
​
LUGGAGE
I recommend travelling lightly. One medium suitcase and a daypack should be sufficient.Take a look at packing page for tips!
​
WELCOME PACKAGE
To make your trip flow with ease and to get the excitement going, I will be mailing out a welcome package to each of you on January 26th, 2025. This package will include your final itinerary, a Dublin walking tour guide, and a few added goodies.​
​
BRING AN ADVENTUROUS ATTITUDE!
Because things sometimes don't go exactly as planned when travelling, I have found that having an adventurous attitude toward hiccups in the plan makes all the difference. If something is not up to your expectations, or plans have to change suddenly, remember that this is an adventure and a journey of discovery of the land and of the self! Just go with the flow and remember, "It's all part of the journey!
“One of the amazing recognitions of Celtic Spirituality and wisdom is the sisterhood of nature and the soul.”
