What a way to celebrate International Women’s Day 2026!

Our ascension of the Miners Track in low cloud and a fresh southerly breeze was filled with courage, trust, support, togetherness and overcoming fear - all followed by success as we reached the summit of Muckish and more importantly all safely down to the grotto. One I’ll remember for a long time!

Another wonderful course completed. This time it was Storytelling. Sure don’t we all love a good story? Look forward to including these skills in all my talks, walks and the rest 🤗

Meet our newly qualified storytellers! 📖✨

Over the past while, they've shared stories, laughter, nerves, courage, and many cups of tea.

Each of these amazing people has now earned their qualification in storytelling, and we can’t wait to see (and hear!) how they continue to share their voices across Northern Ireland. From community spaces to festivals, schools to stages — the stories will keep travelling.

This is only the beginning. 💛

Congratulations to you all 🌟

This course was proudly supported by The National Lottery Heritage Fund Northern Ireland and National Lottery players.

✨ A Joy-Filled Journey to the Summit of Muckish Mountain ✨

Join Nuala on Sunday 8 March 2026 for an unforgettable hiking adventure to the summit of Muckish Mountain (667m) — a mountain steeped in history, wild beauty, and soul-stirring views.

We’ll begin our journey on the legendary Miner’s Track on the northern side of Muckish, once carved out by generations of miners. The ascent is steep and invigorating, but every step is rewarded. As we climb, the landscape opens up to sweeping panoramas across Sheephaven Bay, Tory Island, and the vast, rugged beauty of Donegal stretching out below us.

Reaching the broad, plateau-like summit feels truly special. Here, we’ll take time to explore the summit cross, the iconic trig pillar, and the impressive stone cairn — all while soaking in breathtaking 360-degree views of wild, unspoiled countryside. On a clear day, you may even spot Errigal Mountain, standing tall and proud on the horizon.

Our descent takes us down the gentler southern side of Muckish toward the Muckish Grotto. The scenery shifts beautifully from bare stone to soft, heather-covered slopes, with mountain streams weaving their way down the hillside — a peaceful and grounding end to an epic journey.

This hike is more than just a walk — it’s a chance to connect deeply with the land, the stories of the miners who once worked here, and the raw, untamed spirit of Donegal’s mountains.

Details:
• Price: £20 per person
• Moderate fitness level required
• You must be comfortable with heights
• This is a linear hike, so car-sharing is essential (vehicles needed at both the north and south sides of Muckish)

🌄 Come for the views, stay for the feeling — book your adventure now!

Relax & Unwind — Your New Evening Ritual This March

If your evenings usually disappear into scrolling, TV, or one last burst of busyness, Relax & Unwind offers a gentle alternative — one that helps your body and mind truly switch off before sleep.

Join Nuala live every Monday night throughout March for 30 minutes at 8.30pm, designed to help you slow down, let go of the day, and ease naturally into rest.

Can’t make it live? Each session will be recorded and sent to you at 9pm, so you can return to it whenever suits you.

Why an evening self-care routine makes such a difference

Most of us move straight from stimulation (screens, noise, constant input) into bed — and then wonder why sleep feels restless or hard to come by. An intentional wind-down routine:

Calms your nervous system after a busy day

Reduces mental chatter and overthinking

Helps break the habit of late-night scrolling and TV

Signals to your body that it’s safe to rest

Improves sleep quality and how you feel the next morning

What to expect
Nuala will gently guide you through a soothing evening practice designed to create space, calm, and clarity.

✨ Evening journaling — a quiet, reflective moment to close out the day, release what’s been weighing on you, and shift out of “doing mode.”
✨ Guided meditation — a peaceful, grounding meditation to clear your mind, relax your body, and prepare you for a deep, restful night’s sleep.

No pressure. No performance. Just a soft landing at the end of your day.

Make your evenings feel nourishing again
By committing to just 30 minutes each week, you’re choosing rest over distraction, presence over autopilot, and sleep that truly restores you.

Book your place now and make Relax & Unwind your evening self-care priority this March. 🌙

✨Daily Guided Meditation & Journaling for Wellbeing✨

Begin a New Month with Intention, Calm, and Care

Join Nuala from 1 March for Rise & Shine — a month of Daily Guided Meditation and Journaling designed to support your wellbeing, gently lift your energy, and help you reconnect with what truly matters.

✨A Fresh Month. A Gentle New Beginning✨

The start of a new month offers a natural pause point — a moment to breathe, reflect, and begin again.

March carries a subtle but powerful energy of transition. The heaviness of winter slowly starts to loosen, the days stretch a little longer, and the first signs of spring remind us that renewal doesn’t have to be rushed — it unfolds in its own time.

Whether you’re continuing your Rise & Shine journey or joining for the very first time, this month is an invitation to reset without pressure, reconnect with yourself, and create space for what you want to grow.

If you feel called to begin March with more presence, intention, and self-care, this journey is for you.

Investment: £30 for New Members and £20 for Returning/Continuing.

✨ I look forward to welcoming you — or welcoming you back — as we Rise & Shine together this March. ✨

Begin a New Month with Intention, Calm, and Care

Join Nuala from 1 March for Rise & Shine — a month of Daily Guided Meditation and Journaling designed to support your wellbeing, gently lift your energy, and help you reconnect with what truly matters.

🌼A Fresh Month. A Gentle New Beginning.

The start of a new month offers a natural pause point — a moment to breathe, reflect, and begin again.

March carries a subtle but powerful energy of transition. The heaviness of winter slowly starts to loosen, the days stretch a little longer, and the first signs of spring remind us that renewal doesn’t have to be rushed — it unfolds in its own time.

Whether you’re continuing your Rise & Shine journey or joining for the very first time, this month is an invitation to reset without pressure, reconnect with yourself, and create space for what you want to grow.

🌼March invites gentle emergence, not urgency.

A guided morning practice at this time of year brings:

- grounding and structure as routines shift

- gentle motivation as energy begins to lift

- space to reflect on where you are — and where you’d like to go

- a calm, intentional start before the day takes over

Investment: £30 for New Members and £20 for Returning/Continuing Members.

Upon receipt of your order, you’ll be added to a Private WhatsApp Group, where you’ll receive all meditations, reflections, and support throughout March.

✨ I look forward to welcoming you — or welcoming you back — as we Rise & Shine together this March. ✨
