Pelagus Vitae
About Pelagus Vitae
Providing adventure-led recovery retreats in Ireland for adults and young adults working to protect their sobriety and prevent relapse. Pelagus Vitae is not a treatment center and does not offer detox or primary addiction treatment. It is a short next step (5 to 10 days, max 12 guests) for people who have already completed a program. Separate retreats serve young adults (18 to 25), women, and men.
Therapeutic Approach and Benefits
Pelagus combines outdoor activities with recovery coaching, mindfulness, yoga, acupuncture, and Qi Gong. Clients work in small groups on triggers, emotional regulation, and high-risk situations, and leave with a personalized relapse prevention plan and a peer accountability group meant to continue after the retreat. The site calls its approach clinically backed but does not name specific credentials or a therapeutic model, so the depth of clinical support is unclear from their materials.
Unique Retreat Experiences and Programs
Each retreat is tailored to its group: young adults on Achill Island (surfing, hiking, coasteering), women in Co. Wicklow, and men in Kilkenny. Activities include equine therapy, sailing, and golf. Pelagus also provides private chef-prepared meals and discreet door-to-door transportation.
