The Green Spiral Way

We believe that within every human being lie the seeds of his/her own destiny, and that we all possess innately the tools required for our own personal development. Our work therefore is to facilitate the awakening of these natural processes and to provide a nurturing environment. Green Spiral programmes and activities:

1- Intercultural eco-adventure summer camps for families. This means that we see language as a form of communication that can only be meaningful where there is a true encounter with other human experiences. Where all learning takes place in context and acquires deep meaning because it is part of personal growth and transformation. This is why our language programmes deliberately combine eco- and adventure community living with personal and intercultural discovery. These are courses where language learning occurs less through formal tuition although this is also a feature than through the use of language in challenging and fun activities which encourage young people and families to trust in themselves and others. Our unique approach views language acquisition and personal discovery as an adventure sport rather than a passive activity. In this way, formal instruction links dynamically with activities which demand practical communication between participants. Green Spiral language tutors are on hand to assist and to enrich these active learning experiences - we don't switch off when we are most needed.

2- Intercultural/adults gatherings throughout the year. Eco Irish tourism with our green spiral way.
5 days gatherings for adults to meet and make friendships learning the language and skills related to our approach.

3-Creative Expression Through Painting, clay and movement workshops/Soul painting/Qi Gond/alchemical cooking and healthy eating.

I am delighted to offer for the first time in Ireland this Focusing in person & online Programme with a dear Focusing trainer Marta Woo.
Sensed Ecology 2024-2025 Ireland

In the stillness of nature, we encounter a web of life far more complex than we often recognize. Each leaf, bird, river, and breeze plays a vital role in the ecosystem, sustaining not only the earth but our very being. Biodiversity, with all its richness and diversity, is the lifeblood of this intricate system.

As humans, we are not separate from this grand design; we are an integral part of it. Our breath is a gift from the trees, our food nurtured by the soil, our bodies attuned to the rhythms of the seasons. In every sense, we are nature, woven into its fabric. And yet, we also hold a unique role, both as participants and stewards of this delicate balance.

The practice of Focusing invites us to deepen this connection, not just with the world around us but within ourselves. Through Focusing, we turn inward to sense the felt experience of our body in relation to the natural world. In this space of inner listening, we come to understand that our relationship with nature is mirrored in our relationship with ourselves.

When we pause to truly notice, to sense the ecology both outside and within, we become aware of the richness of life that surrounds us and flows through us. This awareness creates space for care, not as a distant ideal, but as an embodied experience. In sensing the earth beneath our feet, the air in our lungs, and the pulse of life around us, we realize that our health and the health of the planet are inextricably linked.

Biodiversity thrives on the balance of each organism playing its part, just as we thrive when we live from a place of care and connection. Focusing helps us live from this place. By cultivating inner awareness, we nurture our capacity to care, both for ourselves and for the world. It is this awareness that allows us to live in harmony with nature, to protect the biodiversity that sustains us, and to move through life with a sense of wholeness and well-being.

As we listen inward, we recognize that caring for the planet begins with caring for ourselves. In doing so, we contribute to the health and resilience of the entire web of life. Through Focusing, we align with the wisdom of nature and are reminded that our lives, too, are part of the intricate tapestry of biodiversity.

Sensed Ecology is a programme that I have been offering for the past 3 years in Spain and offering with Marta Woo for the first time in Ireland.

So looking forward to a full week of sharing and intensive Focusing Training in Turkey, with all our Focusing friends from that beautiful place in the world. I always feel at home and specially with all the beautiful caring people that bring Focusing to their wholehearted everyday life and work.
And yes... a few days by the sea will be a plus!

The Path of the Sensing Being Retreat will be combining the process of Focusing and Contemplative Presence Practice in nature. This retreat invites a sense of living from an embodied sense of Presence. Coming back to remembering our true most natural and simple nature in community.

Turkey is so much in my heart, over the years I have been teaching Focusing to great people there and once more I am on my way to dwell at the edge of experiencing the meaning of sacred companioning. My heart is longing to meet you all dear ones. This retreat is also open to all, it will be in English.

The Path of the Sensing Being Retreat will be combining the process of Focusing and Contemplative Presence Practice in nature. This retreat invites a sense of living from an embodied sense of Presence. Coming back to remembering our true most natural and simple nature in community.

Por fin puedo compartiros el bello programa de Ecología Sentida para este próximo año 2024. Es con gran ilusión y con mucha gratitud a Olga Hueso por su impecable colaboración al formular un bello dosier donde se recoge la trayectoria de muchos años soñando este despliegue.
También quiero agradecer a toda la maravillosa comunidad de Focusing En España e Irlanda que a caminado a mi lado y que es gracias a esos pasos que vamos dando hacia adelante juntes que estoy aquí en esta deriva personal que me llena de alegría cada día...incluso cuando no es fácil, siento el apoyo y la familia Focusing a mi lado.
Ecología Sentida de momento solo puedo ofrecerlo en España, con perspectiva de llevarlo a cabo en Irlanda, aunque ahora no tengo tiempo material..., y ya hay un grupo formándose en España. Será para un grupo reducido e íntimo.

Feliz Año a todes y que la fuerza de la naturaleza siga acompañando nuestros pasos para el bien común.

Ecología Sentida es un programa de Focusing anual en la naturaleza en el que está incluido el proceso de aprendizaje de Focusing desde la resonancia orgánica que existe en los seres vivos en contacto con el medio.
