Join me for a morning retreat of heart-nourishing mindfulness practice and soulful words and reflective writing.

Join us for a morning of mindfulness practice devoted to beautiful silence and words.

Mindfulness opens up the rich landscape of this moment. Poetry takes us off autopilot and connects us deeply and directly with our life. Together, they offer a unique space for peace, clarity, inspiration and joy.

During the retreat we take spacious time to journal or reflect in our own way, so that we can be truly present for our experience.

Sunday 12th October 2024

Online morning mindfulness & poetry retreat from 9:30am - 12 noon (Ireland).
The retreat will be recorded and made available afterwards.
We aim to take good care of our energy during online retreats. You are welcome to keep your camera off if that feels more comfortable.

Questions that come up:

DO I NEED ANY EXPERIENCE?  None - in either mindfulness or in poetry.
WILL I BE WRITING POETRY?  No, we use poems as meditations, to open us up to experiencing the present moment deeply.
I DIDN'T LIKE POETRY IN SCHOOL  What we offer here is a very different approach.  You can get a sneak preview below to give you an idea.
IS IT JUST POETRY? It's a blend of mindfulness practice infused with poetry. It contains guided meditations, silent sits, and we always include a decadent deep relaxation as part of the nourishing retreat - you can listen to a sample deep relaxation to give you a sense of the practice.
I’M ZOOM-SHY: That is fine! You don’t need to have your video or microphone on. There is a ‘chat window’ to type in for questions or comments, or you can turn on your audio to speak.

Don’t want to wait?

You can participate whenever you’re ready with our recorded morning retreats (there are more available in the shop).
