Tour Operator
The English word spirit comes from the Latin spiritus, meaning "breath." Indeed, spirit is as empty, yet as vital, as the breath. And just as the body needs food and the mind needs stimulation, your spirit needs nourishment. Are you as full of life as you'd like to be? If you're feeling less than spirited, perhaps it's time to enrich the essence of your being with a Spiritual Journey with us!

I share with you poems, music, stories, chants, blessings and prayers of this ancient land allowing the mystical Celtic Spirit to stir you imagination and nurture your heart.
