Mindie Burgoyne will guide a group of traveling guests across eight counties, visiting thin places – or mystical sites – in the southern and eastern parts of Ireland this September.
Thin places are those places where the veil between the physical world and the eternal world is thin. The two worlds intersect or seem woven together.
Guests will travel to the ancient passage tombs at Newgrange and Knowth, then see the site where St. Brigid of Kildare built her monastery and where the eternal flame still burns. Guests will also visit the holy wells of St. Brigid, St. Declan and St. Gobnait and see where St. Brendan launched his small fleet of currach’s when he set sail with a dozen followers in search of the Promised Land. The scenic land around Gougane Barra, where St. Finbar founded his monastery is on the trip as are the stone circles of the Beara peninsula, Kinsale, Ardmore, Dingle and Cork.
Guest will also spend the day in Dublin have three free days for planning custom side excursions or just relaxing. Tour price of $1999 per person (based on double occupancy) is for the land only, and includes lodging, breakfasts, some dinners, transportation and admission costs.
