Originally a historic Irish inn, Creacon Wellness Retreat was converted by Derek and Linda O’Neill into a wellness center to nurture your spirit, mind, and body. Creacon is a sacred space that offers a tranquil environment, spacious outdoor gardens, many therapies and wellness services, an internationally acclaimed chef, a variety of rooms to host classes, and private or shared accommodation. Bedrooms are not equipped with televisions or media systems.

Art studio

There are paints, brushes, and drawing tools available so you can sketch or paint to your heart’s content. There is also a wide variety of beading materials to create malas, bracelets, and necklaces if you would like something to take home with you.

Bookstore

Available in the shop are essential oils, mala beads, books, sacred pendants, candles, artwork, and much more. All the products are infused with healing energy to positively support your well-being.

Community lounge

At the center of Creacon is the heart room. Curl up with a good book, have a chat with other guests, or sit quietly in front of the hearth fire. Cozy and welcoming, the heart room is also a great place for small groups and classes to gather.

Gardens

Visit the tranquil rose gardens, the forest walk, or the fragrant fruit and vegetable gardens. Invite yourself to be still and soak in the healing energy that surrounds you. Come enjoy this beautiful space and discover for yourself everything you need to find balance, peace, and happiness.

Library

Explore the rich library, full of spiritual literature, personal development guides, and inspiring tales. Learn about energy healing, the chakra system, the power of the mind, karma, reincarnation from great yogis, past, and present.

Meditation hall

Enjoy some quiet time or take part in a class in the meditation hall. This sacred space is adorned with spiritual artifacts that were gifted to Creacon from all around of the world, including precious relics from Sri Sathya Sai Baba, Mother Amma, the Karmapa, and His Holiness the Dalai Lama.

Tea room
