Thanks to all who came to the mini festive retreat. We had an amazing day at Tory Bush Cottages by the fire. We pressed pause on life for a few hours, made some beautiful decorations, indulged in some pampering, food and had lots of reflections on winter and the year that has passed.

We were also blessed with 3 butterfly’s and a cat who also wanted to attended the session.🙏

The next retreat will be in January, based on Goal Setting and Manifestions for the year ahead. Again I will restrict the numbers on this retreat to 12 max attendees. If you would like to reserve a spot, drop me a DM.

🦋Such a beautiful day and so many transformations underway 🦋

This time next week we’ll be slowing down together in a cosy retreat space in the Mournes…
Taking a gentle pause before the festive season with mindfulness, creativity, good food, and a little self-care.

I have 4 spaces left if you’d like to join us for this nourishing Pre-Christmas Mini Retreat.

✨ Week 1 of our Winter Programme Complete! ✨

I had the pleasure of facilitating a festive deco-mesh wreath-making workshop at NEWRY Street UNITE. These wreaths aren’t the easiest to make, but everyone threw themselves into the challenge and created absolutely stunning pieces! 🎄❤️

This session marks Week 1 of our 6-part Winter Wellness Programme, delivered through Heart & Harmony CIC. It’s a joy to see creativity, connection and confidence grow right from the very first workshop.

A huge thank-you to Verve Healthy Living Network for funding this programme and helping bring meaningful, uplifting activities into the community.

I can’t wait for our next session❄️✨

Graduation day 👩‍🎓✨

Today I’m celebrating a huge milestone — achieving a First Class Honours Diploma in Community Development! 🥳

This journey has deepened my passion for supporting communities, fostering connection, and creating spaces where people can feel seen, valued, and empowered.

I’m excited to bring everything I’ve learned into Heart & Harmony, continuing to weave creativity, well-being, and togetherness into every programme, workshop, and project. 💗

Here’s to growth, to community, and to the work still to come. 🌿

A huge thank you to the Rural Community Network, who delivered this incredible course across Northern Ireland. Their support, guidance, and commitment to strengthening communities made this journey possible. ✨

Combining this qualification and the OCN Level 3 Health Trainer qualification gained earlier this year through Verve Healthy Living Network has given me the the ability and courage to bring together years of facilitation experience into a meaningful, practical delivery model that supports people through creativity and social prescribing and this is what inspired the creation of Heart & Harmony CIC. 💚

Thank you to everyone for their support. ✨

In a world that often feels loud and emotionally charged, it’s easy to take on the energy of everything and everyone around us. But peace begins when we remember — not everything that touches us has to enter us.

To observe is to stay aware, compassionate, and grounded — to witness what’s happening without letting it become our burden. It’s the practice of staying connected, not consumed.

To absorb, on the other hand, is to internalise what isn’t ours — people’s moods, opinions, or pain — until we forget where we end and they begin. It leaves us heavy, tired, and out of alignment with our true selves.

“Observe, don’t absorb” invites us to step into mindful detachment.

It’s not coldness; it’s clarity.
It’s not avoidance; it’s awareness.
It’s the art of being present without losing your centre.

Next time you find yourself pulled into someone else’s storm, pause. Take a breath.

You can care deeply without carrying it.

You can witness without weighing yourself down.

You can be the calm within — not the chaos around.
