I regularly facilitate workshops, community events and reflective webinars open to everyone. If you are looking for an experienced facilitator to create meaningful and engaging events for your team or organisation, I would love to hear from you.
Exploring the Art of Wintering Half-Day Workshop in Phoenix Park
What is your relationship with the darker months, the darker times of your life?
In this half-day workshop, we will explore our relationship with the dark using the natural world as our mirror. We will listen deeply and connect with our body, each other and the land, exploring how this winter story can teach us about our own human journey.
Through embodiment practices, perspectives from the eco-centric wheel, reflection with each other and alone with nature, we will find nourishment and build resilience. Let us expand our heart’s capacity for these times.
Our lives need each season to inform us. Let us leave space for what winter brings, finding the beauty in the darkness, letting go of what needs composting, knowing that the wheel keeps turning and the light will return.
“All beginnings start in the darkness, in the fecund earth, the pulsing womb. It is not spring where life suddenly appears out of nowhere, but now in these inward months.”
Brigit Anna McNeil
“This season of winter, for me, is always a time to think about change and transformation, about all the ways in which we might allow the long, cold dark to strip us down to the bones of who we are. Every year, letting winter strip us bare; letting the final leaves that we’re clinging onto fall. Letting it all fall, and seeing what still holds us upright. And from that point of strength, choosing the ways in which we might bend.”
