Hosted by the Spirit Horse Tribe.

A Return Home
After thirty-five years of leading Enlightenment Intensives in our wild Welsh valley, Shivam brings the work home to Ireland, to his family’s land, in the heart of the west.
A three-day journey into truth, held in a beautiful rural farmhouse just outside Galway.
The same full-power Enlightenment Intensive practice — Charles Berner’s original method of self-enquiry — now offered in an intimate Irish setting.
This is not a retreat of ideas or philosophies.
It is the direct experience of awakening.
A sacred space where you can ask and truly discover... Who am I?

What Is an Enlightenment Intensive?
Three days of deep contemplation, communication, and silence.
A structured rhythm of dyads/enlightenment exercises, and rest.
This three day Intensive is followed by a day and a half of breath work, ecstatic dance, sauna, talk and free time.
A method honed over decades to ignite insight, dissolve barriers, and awaken truth directly in your own being.
Shivam O’Brien has been guiding Enlightenment Intensives and ritual space for thirty five years.
His work has touched thousands of lives through Spirit Horse, a mountain village, re-wilding land, people and culture through tribal, organic living, ritual, and spiritual awakening in Wales.
Now, this lineage of work comes to Irish soil. 

The Venue
The Intensive will be held in a traditional Irish farmhouse near Galway — Shivam’s family home, now a beautiful Airbnb retreat space surrounded by fields, trees, and stone walls.
Firelight in the hearth.
Shared meals around the table.
The stillness of the Irish countryside.
A perfect space for the discipline and beauty of self-enquiry.

A Word from Shivam
“After decades of holding Enlightenment Intensives in the Welsh mountains,
I am returning to my family home in Ireland to bring this work to its roots.
The same discipline, the same fire, the same direct path —
but in the quiet fields of Galway.
If you’ve ever felt the call, this is your time.”

Spirit Horse in Ireland
Though this Intensive is not held at Spirit Horse, it is led by the same tribe, the same discipline, care, and fire.
A chance for those in Ireland to experience the work firsthand, without travelling to Wales.
Come and sit in the fire of truth.
Find yourself.
