Let the body be still.
Let the soul be free.

One more step to join the procession.
You’ve taken the first step toward A.Wake—a private send-off for Body & Soul. Attendance will be offered in phases and spaces will be strictly limited. To secure your spot, check your email and confirm your subscription. Once confirmed, you’ll get notified when ticket drops open.
In farewell, Body & Soul.
Let’s gather in joy
and let go in stillness.
What Awaits
Programme
A.Wake is an intimate gathering rooted in the energy of an Irish Wake. It’s not a festival.
Saturday is for celebration. Sunday is for letting go.
Location
A place chosen for a perfect ceremonial farewell. A land with deep roots, held quietly in Meath. The exact location will be revealed to those joining us, closer to the time.
Food & Drink
Expect nourishing dishes and drinks poured with intention. More will be revealed, in time, but rest assured, you will be nourished.
Accomodation
Camping is part of the experience, with camper van and boutique options available. Bring what you need to rest well and rise gently.
Who’s it For
A.Wake is for adults only. You must be 21
or over to attend. Due to limited capacity, A.Wake will not have a children’s programme.
Attire
No dress code— just rhythm. Saturday invites colour, celebration, transformation. Sunday softens into tones of black, white, grey.
Price
€250 (+ booking fee) includes two days, two nights, and camping. A.Wake is not for profit. Every cent will go into creating an unforgettable send-off. Any remaining profits will be donated to our chosen charity.
