The Chrysalis Centre
The Chrysalis Centre is one of the longest established, respected and leading holistic retreat centres in Ireland. Chrysalis was founded and opened in 1989 as a centre for reflection and spiritual renewal. It is a registered company with charitable status currently being lead by two directors and supported by an advisory board of leaders and visionaries in the field.
The main objective of Chrysalis is to provide services in personal and professional development, all encouraging and supporting guests to live their lives more fully, creatively and effectively. Since we started, thousands of people have benefited from their visits & we regularly receive heartfelt feedback about what a positive difference we have made to their journeys.
Guided by this input, we consider guests appreciate four particular aspects of participation: Leading facilitators, valuable workshop content, group support/dynamics, ambience and heartfelt service. The synergy of these plus heart/people-centred staff whose care combine with these aspects to create what Chrysalis has evolved into.
Our programme of events includes one day, evening courses, community and collaborative events with a diverse range of teachers and subjects.
Since 1989, Chrysalis has become a trusted presence in the retreat centre market. Over this time there has been significant growth and interest in personal development and self awareness programmes in Ireland that has been reflected in the continued success. The choice of name was inspired by the symbol of the butterfly emerging from a chrysalis to indicate spiritual transformation.
In 2011, the organization went through a transformation into a more modern business model to support the expanding market of opportunity in the field. This re-emergence began May 2012 and will continue to unfold into the future. We are very excited about the changes that will build on the strong foundation and good reputation for quality programmes and guest care established over the last 25 years.
