Beltane Retreat To Ancient Éire
With Molly-Anne Chinner and Hannah Lunar Rose
Dear song traveller,
If you have discovered this invitation, the ancient call of your soul is summoning you to the sacred embrace of your voice, to awaken the timeless melodies woven into your ancestral lineage
Join Molly-Anne and Hannah for a weekend of renewal and reawakening during Beltane, where the earth itself hums with the energies of rebirth. Set on the mythic West Coast of Ireland, amidst the blooming wildflowers and whispering winds, we will gather to reconnect with the primal force of our voices and the ancient songs that lie dormant within our bones.
During this weekend, you will be guided on a profound journey into the essence of your voice, exploring its deep connection to the rhythms of nature and the alchemy of inner transformation. Through intuitive singing, improvisation, Gaelic songs and the reclamation of your authentic sound, you will harmonise with the ancient echoes of the land, awakening the songs that have been carried through time.
The voice is a wellspring of limitless power and creation. By honouring and attuning to our unique vibrations, we can reforge our connection to the earth and remember our place as the daughters and sons of the Earth.
As we stand in the glow of the Beltane fire under the watch of the Muckish Mountain, we invite the sacred energies of the spring season to fill our hearts with vitality and joy. We offer up our intentions and prayers to the flames, letting go of what no longer serves us, and embracing the growth and abundance that lie ahead. Through sacred song, sound, and shared silence, we attune ourselves to the rhythms of nature, connecting deeply with the earth and each other..
In awakening your voice, you will be healing not only yourself but also the ancestral wounds that reside in the body, mind, and spirit. Transform resistance and pain into the golden threads of wisdom and reclaim the lost treasures of your lineage.
You will walk this path with other kindred souls, each on their own quest to ignite their creative flame and align with the ancient magic that flows through the sacred voice – the voice of the land, the voice of your ancestors, the voice of your true self.
Listen closely, for your voice is a sacred gift, and it is time to let it sing.

About the Teachers…
Molly Anne Chinner
Molly Anne Chinner is a British sound healer, devotional musician, vocalist and wild seed. Hailing from the rural and wild South West, Molly’s music weaves threads of her native folk sound with her extensive work in ambient, healing, devotional and world music genres to offer a soulful and feminine listening journey as a celebration of music as healing, and a guided remembering of the Earth and all Her wonders. After awakening to Yoga and Meditation in 2017, Molly’s music blends an East-meets-West sound, incorporating elements of Bhakti Yoga (devotion) and sacred Mantra with the ancient heartbeat of her beloved British homelands to rewild and remember our sacred connection to the voice of the One Earth, as well as our own voices as messenger of the Heart. With an extensive background in sound healing, folk music and songwriting, Molly's work today is an exploration into voice, sound and music as a language of the soul and messenger of the heart - creating through the weaving of her uniquely healing and ethereal soundscapes, pure crystalline tones and sweet songs - guiding the listener deeper within the body as a vessel and inviting connection with source, consciousness, Earth and Self.
Hannah Lunar Rose
Hannah Rose is an English song gathering vocalist with no fixed abode. She loves to collect songs and stories from times long past and help to keep them alive by sharing them with others. In particular Hannah loves songs from Ireland and Scotland, and especially enjoys songs in Gaelic. When first starting to sing in Gaelic it felt like a remembrance to her, a coming home.
One of Hannah’s favourite things about sharing these ancient folk songs and the stories that come with them, is how potent they are at helping us to connect with our ancestors, in a unique way that she feels just isn’t possible in any other form. Hannah believes these songs give us a snapshot into our ancestors lives, and really humanise them. Just like us they experienced love and also heartbreak, jealousy, sadness, loss and all the other human emotions that we experience. She finds the old melodies and lyrics transport her and others back in time, to places we don’t ‘know’ but remember somewhere deep in our bones.
