  • Ashley Park House Nenagh, TA Ireland (map)

This event will support you in deeply tuning into the innate Wisdom of your Body. The body speaks to us in many ways, in the day’s workshops we will take a holistic approach to understanding what your body is saying and how you can work with this wisdom.

Throughout the day we will especially focus on supporting those who suffer from inflammation in the body which can take many forms and often leaves us not knowing where to turn. Our expert facilitators Fiona Loughran and Sean Kenny will guide you in understanding some key areas to work with when it comes to these bodily responses.

And even if inflammation isn’t an issue for you - this will still be an informative day, where you will learn to support your body in a holistic way, looking at movement, breath, nutrition, and the mind body connection. Plus the Retreat Space is beyond beautiful - a glass room overlooking a lake, it’s deep nourishment all be itself!

The Facilitators :

Sean Kenny is a fully certified Wim Hoff Instructor and a wealth of knowledge about the bodies inflammatory responses. Sean lived with an autoimmune condition IBD (Crohns / Colitis.) since 2011, in which time he experienced severe Inflammation throughout the body and many debilitating symptoms. Through the Wim Hoff Method, breathwork, meditation, lifestyle changes, reconnection with nature and various physical practises he has been symptom free and healthy again for 4 years and is now medication free for 1.5 years. This is his first time without medication since his diagnosis in 2011.

Sean is passionate about bringing what he has learned and experienced about the healing potential of the body to those who feel at a dead end in their personal battles with their health. His story and knowledge is powerful, and he is a gentle and grounded presence in the way he works.

For this day event Sean will give a lecture about the power of breath, meditation and cold exposure therapy for the body in supporting healing and balance. He will teach inflammation suppressing techniques which have supported his personal healing. He will facilitate a Wim Hoff Breathwork Session which will give you powerful breathwork techniques to take home, and he will guide you in an Ice Bath Session, where you will discover your own strength and resilience and the power of cold exposure therapy.

Fiona Loughran is a versatile and multidisciplinary guide with a holistic approach to life and living. Her mission is clear: to guide individuals back to their natural state of bliss. Fiona's personal journey, marked by inflammation resulting from the challenges of bottling up emotions, inspired her to become a beacon of empowerment through embodiment tools, skills, and rituals.

With a rich foundation as a holistic and sports therapist, corporate personal trainer, yoga and Pilates teacher, and private chef, Fiona has woven a tapestry of experiences. Now, as a DIVINE ALIGNMENT bodyworker and embodiment guide, her central focus is on creating a sanctuary for support and fostering self-responsibility in well-being.

For this workshop Fiona will guide a breath-centric yoga practice, each inhale becomes a gentle tide, washing away tension, while each exhale is a release, carrying with it the burdens we no longer need to carry; unraveling the knots of inflammation that may have taken residence within.

She will incorporate self-massage techniques geared towards lymphatic drainage, continuing this journey of reducing inflammation. The body, like a wise companion, responds to our touch, allowing us to release stored toxins and alleviate the stress that contributes to inflammation.

Finally we will end the day with Ecstatic dance, a celebration of movement and release, joins this symphony. As we sway and twirl, we not only shake off physical tension but also invite a sense of lightness into our minds and hearts. This rhythmic dance becomes a moving meditation, a pathway to joy that reduces the inflammation of heavy emotions, leaving us feeling refreshed and renewed.

It’s going to be powerful…

By the end of this retreat, you will carry with you the wisdom of the body, the healing power of breath, and the practices to reduce inflammation and cultivate ease. It's not just about the techniques; it's about creating a lasting sense of spaciousness within, where the mind and body coexist in harmony. May this day be a sanctuary of healing, offering you the tools to navigate life with grace and embrace the ease that resides within your being.
