Join certified Wim Hof Method instructor Scott Riley at Bryansford Cottage for a weekend of discovering the WHM Fundamentals and going deeper with a small group of like-minded others.

With only 5 places available on each retreat, this is a highly focused but fun few days beginning Friday evening and running through to Sunday late afternoon in and around Tollymore Forest.

Learn skills in the Wim Hof Method fundamentals: Breathwork, Mindset & The Cold, that you can take home for benefits like improved cardiovascular fitness, stress management and more.

"I've had experience with cold water and breath-work in the past, but the method Scott taught us created a totally different experience. Practicing this has created a noticeable improvement in my training." - Stephen Frazer, Tai-Jutsu Master

Just 5 places will be available for each event. Each Tribe of 6, including me, Scott Riley - founder of Causeway Living (read my story here) will grow over a weekend of breath-work and focus training, cold water immersion, fun & games, sharing and group discussion.

"Small steps to Giant Living." - Scott Riley

FRIDAY: WE BEGIN

FULLY IN AND LET IT GO

Bryansford Cottage will be available for check-in from 7pm. Get your first experience of the WHM breathwork practice and share introductions with an evening workshop beginning 8pm.

The twin rooms have mountain views, shared with someone of the same gender plus the first person signing up will be afforded a double room to themselves. Wander the gardens, enjoy the fireplace and settle into luxury surroundings.

SATURDAY: WE GO DEEP

ACTIVE • OUTDOORS • TOGETHER

We begin early with another breathwork session in Bryansford Cottage’s studio hall, with the opportunity to go deeper having practiced the night before, then out and into the wild.

No two retreats will be the same, with an abundance of incredible locations and cold water pools, different mindset work or fun activities to enjoy in nature - the only guarantees are laughter, learning and living a big experience.

SUNDAY: WE INTEGRATE

TAKING THE LESSONS HOME

Another early start for the final breathwork practice and the chance to go deeper still, fully familiarised with the method and ready to really let go before venturing back into nature.

We’ll take time for a different ‘cold’ experience to the previous day plus more movement and games too, but the main focus on the final day will go towards the integration of all the big experiences you’ve had, back into your daily lives.
