Forever touched by the sacred memories of this pilgrimage shared so generously by John O’Donohue's family and close friends through the exquisite curation of the landscape, people and culture so dear to him.

My experience with the 2019 O'Donohue Tour was nothing short of outstanding at every turn. John’s family and dear friends are a stunning group individually, collectively they are magical. The spectacular landscape, the magnificent places we visited and the intertwining of John's ethereal writing made this an absolutely unforgettable trip.

The tour was carefully curated to provide pilgrims a chance to steep themselves deeply in John’s work, the landscape he called home, and their own internal journeys. I left renewed spiritually and most importantly, I left knowing that there is hope and beauty in the world even in its bleakest moments. It is our work to notice the beauty, and to help others to take a moment to notice it when we are able. If you are considering applying, I can only tell you that this will be one of the best investments of time and money you will make this year, and perhaps ever.

Walking the mystical Celtic land that inspired the words of John O'Donohue was deeply resonant and personally transformative. I found the experience prompted both intimacy, allowing time to reflect inward, and detachment, enabling as John so eloquently wrote, your soul to know the geography of your destiny and to map your future. Perhaps the greatest gift of all was finding so many wonderful kindred spirits, people for whom there was an instant recognition where you said, "what? me too!" I returned home with a happy heart.

This was not a trip, it was a journey and one that has deeply influenced me and continues to. John's beautiful family and close friends generously shared an epic experience, far off the beaten path and immersed with brilliantly curated content at every turn with a lovely circle of fellow travelers...now friends.

I felt deeply blessed by the generosity of the O’Donohue family. They led us into the landscape and magic of the Burren, introducing us to remarkable individuals who shared John’s vision and passion. I treasure the memories of the stories and songs, the tears and laughter, connecting us all with the eternal wisdom woven through John’s work.

I've had the pleasure to travel to more than 40 countries over the course of my life, and no trip was as memorable or as meaningful as this one. Every aspect of it -- each daily excursion following John's footprints and integrating his work, the food, the company -- was absolutely sensational.

Our stay in traditional thatched Irish cottages epitomized the character of this tour. It was in every way authentic to the spirit of John O’Donohue: grounded in traversing the Burren landscape that shaped him, and in the music and people that gave him joy. There is a level of intimacy in every aspect of this tour that seems like a pearl of great prize in a world that so often seems crassly commercialized. Every detail of the tour is curated to provide the warmth and camaraderie of the man himself.
