Dancing Moonlight

We have a last few places left for our Village Hearth Gathering at Gort na nDarach in Galway, Sept 5th-7th (or 4th-8th). This will be an inter-generational community experience of deep nature connection and nature-centered culture. We also have 1 place left on our 'acorn leadership' training pathway for how to create these experiences within your home-based communities.

- experience deep restoration
- find belonging in shared values and intimate experiences
- feel the vitality of nature moving through your body, and open to what it's sharing with you
- experience a powerful elegant model of culture regeneration

If you would like to find out more about the 8 Shields model we will be sharing, and embodying together, you can listen to me being interviewed by the founder Jon Young, and his partner Sarah Fontaine and son Aidan, where we share personal stories of the experience of 'Ecological Homecoming':

Or you can watch the powerful film L'Aure Connexion. This film presents this model of education in nature based on indigenous cultures, at The Wolf School in British Columbia, It interviews the children, their parents, educators and young adults who have grown up through this program, which meets the need for a deep connection, essential to our balance. It reminds us that everything is connected, that true joy lies in realizing one's potential, in service to one's community and nature:

I'm really looking forward to hosting and joining this workshop in August, exploring the magic of the colours of the plants growing here 💜

The Celtic Wheel of the Year
An offering for women 🌓

Women's Embodiment Collective, Yoga Moves, Gort.
Thursday 12th & 19th, 6-7:30pm.
Cost: donation €12-15

I'm feeling all warm at the thought of returning to the wonderful , after guiding The Menarche Journey there last year in November.

I'll be offering two sessions on the Celtic Wheel of the Year. We will be exploring the archetypal energy of each of the 8 directions on the compass, both from a pan cultural perspective and an Irish indigenous perspective. I will be offering invitations and resources for the week between the two sessions, to support you to align with the specific opportunities & gifts of the Mid-Winter time.

The cycles of nature are core to every life form on Earth, including us. Each of the stages in the wheel of the year carries a particular energy essential for life to regenerate, and when we consciously move through these stages we can find our wholeness. The 8 directions are a compass home.

I will be offering some teachings at the beginning and then there will be time for sharing, personal reflection time, and an imaginal meditative journey.

You are welcome to come to either or both but ofcourse you will get the most out of it if you come to both.

With gratitude for the crystal clear blue sky today, and the brightness of the Winter sun,

Maria 💛

It's hard to believe it was a Winter wonderland here just a few days ago...

I'm most grateful for the moment of waking up with a thick blanket of snow, the soft thuds as it slided off high places, the electricity being out....and all three sources of internet unavailable.
And nothing left to do but stay in bed and feel the quietness if a world slowed down.

For me this is the most precious thing, when nature steps in in this way we can't control. Everything stops, and I didn't have to choose for it, it just happens.

I know slowing down is a choice, but I also live within a world that makes that choice a difficult one to make.

Thank you mother nature for the gift of beauty and slowness 🤲🏼❄💙
