Eimear Burke is an amazing and remarkable woman. After she graduated from Trinity College, Dublin with a degree in Psychology, Eimear [pronounced EE-mer] worked in South Africa to help train mental health professionals. Her encounters with traditional African healers led her to an interest in Shamanism and Herbal medicine, to compliment her Celtic Druid traditions.
With her late husband, Howard Campbell, she founded the Kilkenny Druid Grove, and in 2020 she became the Chosen Chief of the Order of Bards, Ovates and Druids. She also plays the harp.
But, if you should be fortunate enough to meet Eimear, it will most likely be in her capacity as a storyteller. She takes great pride in carrying on the ancient oral tradition of Irish folklore and mythology.
Body Mind Spirit Journeys, and our partners across the pond in the U.K., take great pride in including Eimear as a special guest in our April – May, 2023 Enchanted Ireland tour.
This is what makes us different – our people.
There are dozens of tours of Ireland available, but the others won’t put you into a small group with Eimear.
But that’s only half the story. There is another special guest in our upcoming Ireland tour. The second will be Jack Roberts. With more than thirty years of experience researching Irish history and archaeology, Jack not only writes books, he also loves sharing his findings with others.
Along with Eimear and Jack, our Ireland tour will be led by Jamie George and Linda Marsen. Jamie has been guiding visitors around Ireland, England and Scotland for more than 30 years. Linda is renowned for her expertise with Tarot cards, and she does an individual reading for each of the members of her tour groups.
But let’s get back to Eimear and her storytelling. Would you like a small sample now? Click Here for the Enchanted Ireland 2023 tour web page, and scroll down to the bottom. You’ll see a video of Eimear Burke telling The Tale of the Hazel, in which three boys go on a journey to the world of the sidh (faeries) and learn a lesson about good manners that they’ll never forget. Eimear has many videos on YouTube if you want to see more of her traditional Irish storytelling. But nothing compares to meeting her in person while visiting Éire.
We still have several spaces open in our Ireland tour, but group size is kept small, and this tour, along with Spiritual Odyssey to England and Sacred Scotland usually fill up quickly. We expect all three will be sold out, so don’t wait too long to register.
By the way, Body Mind Spirit Journeys has a new, toll-free phone number. If you want to talk, or send a text message, you now can reach us at 1-888-513-2125.
UPDATE: This year’s Sacred Scotland tour is now Sold Out.
