Upcoming Talks, Workshops & Events.
Two Day Retreats : Jan 11th - Reflect, Reset, Envision | Jan 12th - Nourish & Enrich | attend one day or both
We all know that the ‘new year, new you’ taglines we see floating around at the moment are often a gimmick, but at the same time taking time for reflection and integration, setting intentions and getting clear on your goals is a great thing to do, no matter what time of year it is.
This day retreat will be an opportunity for you to do just that - to take some time for yourself to reflect on the lessons of 2024, to integrate what you learned and to step fully into 2025 with heart, purpose and vision.
Workshop - Embracing Shame, Honouring Grief, with Claire Killilea & Jenny O’Hare - Tipperary
A day of experiential practice and profound exploration of that which often troubles us. As we re-emerge from the darker months of winter, how can we integrate the darker parts within? What does it look like for a community to come together to explore that which often lies hidden?
Grief and Shame live within so many of our experiences, yet they often remain hidden, ignored or even rejected. When we learn the skills and tools to welcome these vital aspects of life, we learn the profound medicine they contain. They lose their power to bind us. We free up so much life force energy, ourselves, and the the depth of wisdom that is speaking through them.
Through expert guidance, gentle reflective invitations, embodiment practices, and ritual, we will explore together the profound beauty of turning toward our sorrows, our shame, our troubles, and letting them flow free.
Intention:
Befriending, welcoming, and reclaiming the stories of grief and shame. This immersive workshop is a journey into the depths of your emotional landscape, uncovering the wisdom hidden in the shadows. Through acceptance and reprogramming, you will transform these once-difficult emotions into powerful allies for healing and growth.
Practices You Will Experience:
Connective Practices: Deepen your sense of community and trust through grounding and somatic exercises designed to anchor you in the present moment.
Embodiment Practices: Reclaim your body’s innate wisdom with movement, breath, and somatics to embody the emotions of grief and shame, allowing them to move through and release.
Grief & Shame Circles: Participate in a deeply personal journey where you are witnessed, supported, and received by the circle as you honor and release your story.
Ritual Offering: offering back to life what you’ve uncovered throughout the day. Through ritualized actions, you will honor and release old stories, inviting in new beginnings.
Movement & Dance Practice: A celebratory dance, releasing through your body the space you’ve made within—soft, gentle, and freeing.
Silence as Medicine: Experience the profound medicine of silence, giving space for reflection, integration, and deep listening to your inner self.
Who Is This For?
Anyone who has or is experiencing grief or shame in their lives who would like to sit this experience in greater meaning making and cultural context.
Those seeking more resilience in their inner and outer worlds.
Anyone who has carried something unseen or unwitnessed.
Anyone in grief, in shame, in beauty or in challenge who is moved by the necessity to tend to the dark and difficult as well as the light.
Those who would like to support others (family, friends, loved ones, community) in their lives.
You are welcome.
How You Will Feel After the Workshop:
You will walk away empowered, with a deeper acceptance of grief and shame, able to say, "I am grieving" or "I feel shame," and hold space for these feelings with grace. You will feel freer, more whole, and aligned with your true self, equipped with practical tools to navigate these emotions with compassion and integrity.

About Jenny O’Hare
I am a facilitator, Depth Ecologist and Nature Guide. Originally following a passion for the living world through science, with a degree in Earth Science and a Masters in Ecological Conservation, I have worked alongside various environmental organisations and experienced the wonder and interconnectivity of our planet in many ways.
Realising the depth of human-nature connection far beyond the scientific realm, and an awareness of this time of great need, I began to explore and offer deeper ways of connecting with the living world. I have trained in Environmental Education, Nature Resonance, Eco-Therapy, Eco-Psychology, Spiritual Ecology and Solo Nature guiding. I have also trained in the Work that Reconnects, and Ceremony and Ritual for Death and Dying.
My offerings draw on all of these modalities, but hold simplicity at their core: our presence and participation with the world.

Extended Weekend Retreat - An Inner Journey with Breath & Sound - West Cork
This weekend retreat will be an opportunity to access your deeper psyche through the modalities of breathwork and sound healing, so that you can encounter your inner guidance, to gain new insights and self-understanding.
These modalities are psychologically and spirituality therapeutic allowing you to enter a non-ordinary state of consciousness which supports the processing of unconscious blocks and self-limiting beliefs. This journey through your inner world brings inspiration, clarity and renewal.
The Inner Journeys will be supported by the idyllic retreat setting, nestled in the hills overlooking Bantry Bay. There will be time for both processing and integration, as well as restful time in nature, and sharing around the fire.

Síolta Voices - Women's Alchemy: Rhythm of the Menstrual Cycle - with Sinead Duignan
Noticing a repetitive mood or physical discomfort during your menstrual cycle is a crucial step toward a deeply rewarding relationship with a dynamic, ‘intuitive’ and ‘imperfect’ life-long friend - your body.
Become aware of the inner seasons of your menstrual cycle; the ebb and flow of your mood, the challenges that arise prior to bleeding, the recurring ailments that get your attention. Before long, you will become aware of a pattern because the menstrual cycle has a circular rhythm, a beginning, a rise, a fall, and a new beginning. The menstrual cycle is a doorway to self-understanding, a space where you come into relationship with your deeper authentic self.
To enter is to gently acknowledge (over time), the whole picture before you, all that you perceive as ugly & beautiful, unwelcome, ideal, wrong & special about yourself. All is revealed during a lunar month... when you're listening.
To aid your exploration, I offer a presentation that explains the moon phases & how this relates to the change that is inherent in the menstrual/monthly cycle: your inner seasons. I offer a chart that forecasts the ‘general weather pattern' of the menstrual cycle, plus journaling prompts that support you to acknowledge your personal patterns, the local weather! We will have time for Q & A & a pdf Handout will be emailed afterwards. The second half of the workshop is an experiential FreeFall Body Dialogue (see below).
Though this workshop is particular to women’s health and wellbeing it is also of interest to men. This knowledge facilitates us to recognise the natural changeability of women, enabling men to relate more effectively with the women in their lives, as colleague, husband, partner, father, brother etc. (but my Deep Dive workshops are for women only). Also these workshops do not just relate to women who are menstruating, the information is applicable for those who do not, or no longer menstruate; come to this workshop and learn how the Moon Phases can support you throughout menopause (and during perimenopause).
*Important note: Participants will need to prepare their own paper and some simple art materials and have them ready to use, prior to commencement of workshop.I suggest some paper, pens, colouring pencils/markers, pastels/charcoal, ideally no paint, as the image-making process itself is only 15mins.

About Sinead Duignan
My challenge with, and subsequent research into premenstrual tension (PMT) revealed a story about women’s cyclical nature that is not commonly spoken about in our culture.
It is my joy and passion to share this understanding with others. I did my Research MA (Jungian based) through Art, Psyche and the Creative Imagination, TUS Limerick.
I trained with international embodiment trainer Philip Shepherd, founder of The Embodied Present Process (TEPP). The practice & facilitation of TEPP exercises is foundational to my life & work.
A Practitioner of Reflexology and Metamorphic Technique for over 2 decades, grappling with the philosophy behind Metamorphic Technique has been a lifelong gift! and I am now an apprentice teacher in Metamorphic Technique.
My background is in Social Care with out-of-home adolescents and their families. I have always been interested in mental health and education, particularly education that enables us to expand beyond the perspectives and belief patterns we experience as self-limiting.
Sinead’s Approach
The act of bringing gentle attention to the body is, in Jungian terms, a conscious choice. In doing so, the ego is invited to surrender its tendency for ‘risk analysis’ allowing the body, the psyche-soma, the freedom to be, just as it is. This moment is alive with creative potential and is deeply transformational.
As a Jungian inspired Creative Practitioner I am drawn to explore the interplay between consciousness and shadow; the unintegrated aspects of our psyche-soma.
In my experience the body is often encountered as shadow. The remarkable feats of the intellect and our allegiance to these ideals eclipse the body, casting it into shadow. Moreover, my work revives the profound connection we once shared with the archetypal rhythms; the annual seasons or Celtic Wheel, the Moon phases, and the Menstrual Cycle. A cultural neglect of intuitive awareness has caused the self-regulating essence of natural cycles to go unnoticed, and their deeper alchemical significance has been lost within everyday consciousness.
What is FreeFall Body Dialogue?
During guided meditation participants often drop into reverie, a threshold of psyche-soma. From this liminal space participants are invited to make an expression using the art materials provided (for online workshops you will use your own drawing materials). After crafting an image, we transition into a gentle reflective 'dialogue', exploring sensations and associations linked to the image or the process of creating it. ‘Dialogue’ may take place in the form of journaling, through spoken words, or through a combination of both methods. Spontaneous image making enables us to meet, acknowledge and integrate previously unrecognised thoughts/ memories, sensations, feelings and symbols from our personal unconscious that arise when we pay gentle attention. True acknowledgement is a deeply receptive act, free from intention, judgement or a need to change. Paradoxically, this space, free from direction, is pregnant with creative potential.

Síolta Voices - GRIEF: Embracing the Medicine of Life's Deepest Currents, with Jenny O’Hare
Grief is a universal experience. Though we experience both large and small griefs in our lives, many of these go unacknowledged, accumulating in our internal selves, relinquished to the shadow of our collective reality.
Grieving is a capacity of the deepest soul self, one that attunes us to our true aliveness.
Our grief is an offering to life, from life, on behalf of more life.
In this masterclass, we will look at the different gateways through which grief arrives; how it is that our lives and our modern worlds are calling to us to meet this potent reality, and we will learn how to acknowledge, befriend, and welcome this transformative essence.
We make space for the messages it carries, drawing on age old indigenous wisdom, and newer modalities that blend psychology, somatics and interpersonal exploration.
We will aim to grow our grief literacy and awareness, and the capacity within ourselves to meet and welcome grief, so that we may meet these times with greater clarity and grace.
Grief is not simply death or endings, it is also challenge, struggle, regret, loss and attunement to what is missing as well as what is present.
When practised, we cannot lose ourselves to grief, rather we liberate our lives to the fullness that is our birthright.
“Grief is a form of protest: it refuses to live numb and small.”
-Francis Weller
Come to this masterclass to learn the many ways we can befriend this medicine, and transform our relationship to life and living.
What You Will Receive:
Input and Teachings on the Gates of Grief
Social and cultural context of Grief practice and its modern significance
Embodiment and self care tools to process grief
Ritual activities to connect and anchor
Space to share your own experience
Who Is This For?
Anyone who has or is experiencing grief or sorrow in their lives who would like to sit this experience in greater meaning making and cultural context.
Those seeking more resilience in their inner and outer worlds.
Anyone who has carried something unseen or unwitnessed.
Anyone in grief, in struggle, in beauty or in challenge who is moved by the necessity to tend to the dark and difficult as well as the light.
Those who would like to support others (family, friends, loved ones, community) in their lives.

A Love Affair with Food
Join us for a sumptuous picnic overlooking the ocean, where we’ll come together to fall in love with food. For this workshop Hannah & Fiona will be holding a women’s circle focused on our relationship to food and nourishment.
For so many women our relationship with food is emotionally & psychologically complex, and it’s something we don’t often have the chance to speak about.
What many people don’t know is that the emotional relationship we have with the food we eat which can actually impact our ability to digest and intake nutrients. For this workshop we’ll be unpacking some of our less healthy habits and beliefs around food and the way we eat; we’ll look at intuitive eating, how we can learn hear what our body really needs; and we’ll touch on the value of eating seasonal & local, as well as attuning our eating to our hormonal cycles.
All of this will be in a beautiful seaside setting of Kinsale, an idyllic picnic overlooking the ocean, a gathering of like-hearted women, where you can share, connect, laugh and fall in love with the food you eat.
What to expect:
𖤓 Women’s Sharing Circle
𖤓 Gentle Embodiment Practice
𖤓 Exercises to support self-inquiry
𖤓 Discussion on Intuitive / Seasonal Eating
𖤓 Tips for eating to support your cycles
𖤓 Delicious Veggie Lunch & Recipes to take home
𖤓 Sun (we are manifesting hard!), Sea & Connection
***If the weather ends up being too bad to gather we will reschedule for later in the Summer***

About Hannah
My work is all about supporting people in discovering their innate beauty and power. I guide people back to their hearts, creating a safe and nurturing space for vulnerability, bringing light to the shadows and reclaiming the power and energy that exists in the places we least expect.

Day Retreat - Remembering our Nature
Resourcing and Reconnecting to the Wisdom of Life
As Spring awakens and unfurls, join us for a day of connecting deeply to our nature, both within and without.
Nature lives within us and through us, and so much is revealed when we explore this connection consciously.
The living world is a primary source of nourishment and wisdom, of both sustenance and beauty, of hope and care. So too it is with our own inner nature. When we slow down and attune with the pace of the living world, our presence, our attention and our capacity for beauty awaken!
During this day of restoration and rejuvenation, we explore our bodies as Earth, our relationship to place and self within that place. We tap into the wonder of our human selves. We experience the messages and meaning that lie in wait for us in the living world, and the collective wisdom that emerges through our community - human and beyond.
This immersive day is inspired by the simple reality of reciprocity - as within so without. Come explore the full breadth and depth of your true wild natural self. Always available, waiting to be unfurled!
We will be using tools of:
𖧧 embodiment and eco-somatics
𖧧 group and interpersonal dialogue
𖧧 forest bathing and earth meditation
𖧧 seasonal and cyclical attunement
𖧧 creative expression with natural materials
As we nourish our inner worlds, and connect with our outer worlds, we find the vitality that is needed in any given moment.
“Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better.”
~Albert Einstein
A day of practice, input, connection, poetry, creativity, awakening our capacities to act on behalf of Earth as Earth, gently tending to the garden of our souls.
This day is for anyone who is eco-curious! For those who already have a strong nature connection practice, or are looking to deepen their skills and awareness. For anyone who is on the path of self growth, or is new to that path, and is open to a community, both human and non, in which to deepen that way of support, growth and flourishing.
Your facilitators:
Jenny O’Hare is a Deep Ecologist and Nature guide. With a background in natural sciences, and extensive training in human nature connection, she uses eco-psychology, systems theory, embodiment, cyclical alignment and natures guidance to inform her work. The living world is her deepest belonging, and she invites us all back to that belonging.
Hannah Bowler is a holistic therapist whose work focuses on connection to Self, to community, and to the world we inhabit. She takes a depth-psychological approach, grounded in the truth of interconnection and interdependence. She is also an artist, creating in collaboration with nature, using natural materials and eco-art practices. Her creative practice focuses on listening to the land and aligning with its natural cycles.
This day retreat will take place in the beautiful and deeply restorative setting of Asley Park House, where you will be nourished by the breathtaking natural surroundings, good food, thoughtful workshops, and likeminded community. If you would like to treat yourself, Ashley Park are offering our guests a special rate of €75 for a single room on the Friday night, well worth the stay.
