Carers Retreat

Saturday 29th September 2012

 

We are excited to host our first special retreat for Carers. Carers are family members, friends or neighbours who provide substantial amounts of care to someone in the community who is: frail aged and/or has dementia , an adult or child with a disability, a person with a mental illness or chronic health condition a person requiring palliative care.

 

Often carers are a mother, son, daughter, father, grandmother, partner or child providing substantial care to someone 24 hours a day at home. Even though this can be very rewarding for carers it is also very stressful and difficult. They will often care for their loved one, and neglect themselves.

 

This special day begins with a cuppa and scone, followed by a welcome by the Prior. The morning then will be split in different sessions offering natural therapies-yoga, meditation, reflexology, massage-an opportunity for you to be looked after if only for a short while.

 

Everyone will come together for lunch followed by a prayer service and music in Davog House.

 

Ideal: for anyone in a caring capacity-whether professional, voluntary or as family member.


€40

Includes boat fare
