Macalla Farm is a place of learning, collaboration and reflection. Located on Clare Island off the west coast of Ireland, we are an organic farm and small retreat centre.  We run Sati Yoga residential retreats and skill sharing courses – through it all, exploring an embodied ethics with which to respond creatively to the times we’re living in.

When we started at Macalla farm two decades ago, our interests and passions were many – yoga, vegetarianism, horses, tree planting, living close to the land. Two decades on, these passions have only deepened and widened – the boundaries between them becoming more porous. We started to not only see that everything was interconnected but actually experience it as such. What matters is how we are in relation to ourselves and to others and crucially how we are in relation to the non-human world. The crises of climate, natural systems and inequality demand that we show up and respond as best we can.  This ever evolving response colours all that we do.

Thus our approach to yoga, to all aspects of food, to the land and the animals is one that is caring, playful, inclusive, regenerative – maybe best described as an exploratory and ethical process rather than something fixed and complete.

An invitation, then, to join us – on one of our Sati Yoga retreats or practical courses on food or horses or in the Stone Barn Cafe or as a volunteer or   – all of the above!
