About Our Retreats

WeSpark is a place where all ages feel welcome, where no one needs to be an “expert,” and where people are encouraged to show up just as they are. Our retreats are designed to feel cozy, creative, and deeply human — like a cross-generational gathering of kindred spirits around the same campfire.  

Together, we host retreats that feel like a deep exhale — places where creativity flows, laughter happens, and everyone leaves with something made by hand and held by heart.

Exploring your skills and passions

Our retreats offer a gentle pause from the noise of everyday life, an invitation to reconnect with what makes you spark. You’ll have the time, space, and support to dive into the things you love, or perhaps stumble upon something new. Whether you’re refining a familiar skill, returning to a long lost hobby, or just exploring with an open mind, this is your chance to create freely, without pressure or expectation.

Press pause on the everyday routine

Life moves fast, and it’s easy to get caught in the constant motion of doing, achieving, and keeping up. Our retreats invite you to slow down and step off the treadmill, even just for a few hours. It’s a chance to take a breath, find stillness, and reconnect with yourself.. In this quiet space, rest, reflection, and renewal come naturally, helping you return to what matters most with a clearer mind and a lighter heart.

Finding joy in the process

This isn’t about polished outcomes or picture-perfect results. It’s about the messy and fun act of creating just for yourself. At our retreats, we encourage you to let go of expectations and lean into the freedom of the process. Here splashing paint, making mistakes, or following a wild idea can be the most rewarding part. Sometimes, the process is the point.

Creating with your hands (and heart)

There’s something powerful about making things. From thrift-flipping shirts to stitching fabric bookmarks or building a vision board, the act of creating can be both grounding and energising. Our hands-on activities are designed to leave you with something tangible and joyful, and something that you can take home and feel proud of. It’s not about perfection, but about the pleasure of making and expression.

New friends and connections

There’s something special about being in a room with people who just get it. Our retreats connect souls from all walks of life. Introverts and extroverts, seasoned artists and curious beginners. It’s a space where conversations flow, ideas spark unexpectedly, and new friendships begin over stories, laughter, and maybe even a cup of tea. Whether you’re seeking inspiration, collaboration, or simply good company, you’ll find connection here that feels real and lasting.

Each WeSpark retreat is shaped by its own theme and creative focus, so every venue is different. We choose locations across Ireland, mainly in peaceful, rural settings that match the mood and needs of each retreat. Whether it’s a cosy cottage or a nature filled hideaway, the space is always chosen with care to support rest, creativity, and connection.
