Earlier this year I was lucky enough to be invited by Ceangal to lead some yoga and creative wellness sessions at the Celtic Wellness Retreat held at the breathtaking Loughcrew Estate which sits on a recognised Neolithic site in County Meath.

The Neolithic Cairns became a real focus for much of our practice including a beautiful site specific walk and meditation on the hills, but the Cailleach Visible Mending Workshop we did on the Saturday felt very special. Inspired by the folklore around this powerful hag of the hills, we stitched, sang and storied together - her spirit shaping the practice. I made a short film about it here. Have a watch:

Retreats are a wonderful way of nourishing and replenishing the mind any body - but this one just went that wee bit further. The land held us and the joy of working in such a soul-rich place was amplified by the beautiful beings who gathered there, including the wonderful Emily Naper - owner of the Estate whose warmth and spontaneity lit up the retreat - quite literally when she conjured an impromptu bonfire on the final night.

Earlier this year I was invited by Ceangal to lead yoga & wellness sessions on their Celtic Wellness Retreat at Loughcrew Estate in County Meath. This was a special place where, in the words of one of the participants 'souls met' and some beautiful yoga and meditation practice came together. The estate sits on the periphery of the Neolithic Cairns which became a focal point for research, exploration and meditation. The experience was joyful, nourishing and full of wonderful connection - with a fabulous impromptu gathering and singsong around a massive log fire on the final evening kindly provided by Emily Naper the Estate owner.

One of the highlights for me was the Cailleach Stitching Workshop - an exercise in visible mending inspired by the story of the Cailleach at Loughcrew. Here is a short film I made about this workshop.

My Flu Bru!

I always take this in November for about a week or so - or whenever I feel a bit under the weather .

It's a turmeric&ginger based recipe that really does help ward off evil bugs and viruses because it is high in anti- inflammatory and anti- dioxants and it's very easy to make !

Also good for dem bones!

Ingredients:

2 limes - chopped up into 16 pieces
3cm piece of ginger chopped
a good sprinkling of ground black pepper
(very important to get the spices
coagulating)
1 tsp of turmeric
1/2 litre of water (or green tea if preferred)

Method:

Add all the above ingredients into a pot,
bring to the boil and boil covered for 5-7
mins
Strain the liquid into a jug - and pour
yourself a cup (add honey to sweeten if preferred)

Stick the remainder in the fridge when cooled
and heat a cup up each morning

Enjoy! ☺️ 🕉️💚🔥

I'm really exited to be collaborating with Ceangal again on this up and coming Celtic wellness retreat in Sept. This one feels really special not least of all because of the extraordinary neolithic cairns on the luxurious Loughcrewe estate

Slieve na Cailleach https://ceangal.eu/booking/yoga-meditation-getaway/ the yoga will be site responsive to these extraordinary tombs and the megalithic art work visible in some and include a walk to the site and seat of the giant hag!

There are still one shared room / couple of spaces available so if you fancy a late September retreat which includes wonderful company, food and creative celtic therapeutic practice - then this might on might just be the one to stir your soul and steady your bones!
