Annual teaching retreat for the Céile Dé tradition in the southeast US The Shape of a Céile Dé Teaching Retreat.  Céile Dé annual in-person teaching retreats are designed to be intense in order to create conditions that people are generally unable to manifest by themselves at home and in their everyday lives. Our hope is that this environment will foster a greater ability to recognize one's habitual patterns and to absorb and respond to that which is transmitted in and with the teachings -- and that some of those effects will travel home with each retreatant.
