We gently introduce nature and the intuition of horses to connect with your own awareness specifically through horses & Movement Meditations Noreen specialises in women's personal and professional development through equine learning and energy healing and provides Animal Reiki Teachings, Reiki Energy Healing, Equine Therapy, Bespoke Retreats & Meditations at Epona facilitated by her 3 horses, Ruby, Lizzie and Isabel. At Epona Retreat Centre, its unique selling points have proven that the horse's behaviour matches a person's behaviour. During my sessions, the horses change the new carers' attitude and behaviours to become more empowered by listening to their inner wisdom, which brings about the inner power of leadership, gains clarity in their vision of purpose, and builds their confidence and trust in holding space for themselves during uncertain times. Check out my on-line programme where I help professional woman who want to find their purpose, direction and increase confidence through the revolutionary programme that taps into the power of the horses. Ask to join my Private Facebook Group Epona Celtic Goddess of Horses - it is for like-hearted souls who feel pulled to, connect more deeply with their intuition and wisdom, and embrace their spiritual gifts with the energy vibration of the horses and mother nature.

You are warmly invited to join us for a guided meditation on Monday, 12th January from 12:30pm to 2:00pm, hosted by our Held by the Herd, Witnessed by the Trees Community Group.

This meditation will be a gentle exploration of the spiritual life as a path with heart a return to simple presence, connection, and love. In a world that often celebrates achievement and striving, we’ll pause to reconnect with what truly nourishes the soul: authenticity, compassion, awe, and our interconnection with one another, nature, and the divine.

As the Elm tree watch’s over us the ancient keepers of strength, resilience, and rebirth we’ll sit in their quiet wisdom, allowing their roots to remind us of our own. The horse energy will guide us in balance, helping us to hold both the light and the shadow, to meet life’s movement with softness, trust, and grace.

This practice invites you to reflect on what it means to walk your path with heart to love fully, to let go, and to discover peace in the ordinary. Together, in community and in communion with nature, we will cultivate a sense of wonder, connection, and renewal.

Pease bring an open heart, a journal if you wish, and a comfortable position to rest and be present.

Register and receive your zoom link on Monday morning at 10am. Revolut €20 to or book online €21:

Nollaig na mBan (pronunciation Null-ug na Mon), which can be translated from Irish (Gaelic) as “Women’s Christmas,” 6th January is one of Ireland’s biggest traditions. On this day, women traditionally get a much needed rest after catering to everyone during the holiday festivities.

Another significant meaning is the Epiphany which means “Appearance ; Manifestation; Revelation ”

The word epiphany was used in Greek religion to indicate the appearance or manifestation of a god or goddess in human form along with the suggestion that the person or persons who had the epiphany would be delivered from danger and/or their enemies defeated.

In Christianity, Epiphany means four manifestations. His birth, the adoration of the Magi (three wise kings), Jesus’ baptism, and the first miracle at Cana where Jesus turned water into wine.

Epiphany means to be mindful of your thoughts, words, and the choices you are making at this time. Be sure they are aligned with that which you wish to attract. Be sure that you are focusing on what you want, rather than what you don’t want.

Watch your language and how you are choosing to speak to yourself and others. Your words are powerful, so be sure you are speaking with loving kindness and to remind yourself that there are always opportunities to begin again, to try new things, and to make different choices.

Allow your thoughts to be an expression of opportunity and hope. Shift your thinking from limitation to abundance.

The EPIPHANY message is
“Faith, Hope & Love”

Happy first Super Full Moon of 2026 my Soul Tribe, on Saturday January 3rd.

This Super Full Moon is known as the Wolf Moon, the Cold Moon, Severe Moon and Hard Moon.

As the first of the year, it represents renewal, reflection, and community. “Just as the wolves locate and gather pack members to reinforce social bonds, you too, should look to your community for connection and fulfillment.

It is also a wonderful time to go within, to reflect, and to reconnect to all the parts of yourself that have been forgotten.

Honor any sensitivities that come up at this time. Allow these sensitivities to be a guide to greater compassion and self-love. Allow your sensitivities to alert you to what your heart may be trying to communicate with you.

Based on the energy under this Super Full Moon, your heart is guiding you to open a little wider and to release some of the boundaries that have been imposed upon it.

Be gentle with yourself as you move through the Moon’s waves of growth, and stay open to where you are led.

Your intuition is likely to be heightened at this time, so trust your instincts and pay extra attention to any intuitive feelings that flutter into your heart, mind, or belly.

“Go out and look up and just become awestruck” at January’s Super Full Moon . Pictures taken at Youghal beach

Sending you so much love & light.

“The world is not decided by action alone. It is decided more by consciousness and spirit; they are the secret sources of all action and behavior.
The spirit of a time is an incredibly subtle, yet hugely powerful force. And it is comprised of the mentality and spirit of all individuals together.
Therefore, the way you look at things is not simply a private matter. Your outlook actually and concretely affects what goes on.
When you give in to helplessness, you collude with despair and add to it.
When you take back your power and choose to see the possibilities for healing and transformation, your creativity awakens and flows to become an active force of renewal and encouragement in the world.
In this way, even in your own hidden life, you can become a powerful agent of transformation.”

Let’s celebrate your light and honor the energy of the New Moon in Sagittarius on the 19th December.

This Moon in Sagittarius invites us to linger here, to resist the urge to rush forward or cling to the past.

Take a moment to honor the version of yourself that began 2025. Acknowledge the triumphs and the challenges, the clarity and the confusion, the moments of pure joy and the times you thought you couldn’t go on.

Can you feel how much you’ve expanded?

Every challenge you’ve faced, every leap of faith you took, every moment you chose growth over comfort has brought you to this powerful point of transformation.

What if everything that’s meant for you is even better than what you can imagine?

What if the Universe has plans that exceed your wildest dreams?

This New Moon invites you to embrace the mystery, to say yes to the adventure, to trust that you’re being guided every step of the way.

This December New Moon reminds you that you are not stuck, you are not limited, and you do not have to stay where you are if you are not satisfied. You can simply take your arrows and aim them in a new direction.

Of course, it is not always easy to change or break free from a situation, but this New Moon

🦋wants you to think bigger.

🦋It wants you to set the intention and lay the groundwork to move closer to your heart’s desire.

🦋It wants you to experiment with taking a big leap and finding the courage needed to get where you want to be.

Use the December 2025 Sagittarius New Moon to start thinking about all the ways you wish to expand yourself and your life.

What new things do you wish to try?
What new things do you wish to learn?
What is something you can do to bring the energy of expansion into your life?

Locate all the areas of your life that feel small, stuck, or stifled, and ask the Universe to guide you to create more space.

Sending you lots of love & light.
Noreen 💜

As we move closer to the Winter Solstice, the energy around us and within us is shifting.

Even the horses have been showing this change so beautifully… softer eyes, slower movements, a natural turning inward. They remind us that winter is not a time of emptiness, but a time of deep wisdom.

Horses don’t fear the darkness. They settle into it, breathe with it, and trust the quiet cycles of nature.

When we sit with them at this time of year, we’re invited to do the same: to listen, to feel, and to allow our inner world to speak.

When we gather on Monday, we’ll connect with that same grounding, gentle presence the horses offer so naturally. A space where letting go becomes easier, and new intentions can rise softly, without force.

Let this Solstice be a moment where you honour your own light, guided by the calm strength of these magnificent beings. A moment to breathe, reset, and return to yourself.

If you feel the pull, trust it. Nature and the horses are already whispering.

Let’s celebrate your light and honor the energy of the Winter Solstice on Monday 22nd December

Online Meditation at 12.30pm to 1.30pm. Pay by Bank transfer or Revolut €20
                                                        
The Winter Solstice is one of the most powerful points of the year when the axis of the Earth pauses, shifts and moves in the opposite direction. For three days around the solstice points you will experience the power of the standstill point and the shift of direction. The sun standing still is a powerful metaphor for the energy available to you at the Winter Solstice to change the direction of your life with intention and build on this energy as you enter into the new year. 
 
The energy of winter is that of going within. It’s the fruitful darkness and silence out of which your soul’s yearnings and new beginnings eventually emerging. As you consciously link your awareness to nature’s cycles, your understanding of your own personal growth cycles begin to deepen.
 
When you fear your own darkness, you cut yourself off from an essential source of your own personal power. The key is not in letting darkness overwhelm your life and your thoughts but in understanding that darkness can be one of the greatest catalysts for personal growth and transformation. 
 
Allow your feelings to guide you because your feelings are your truth.

When it comes to manifesting your heart’s desires, consciously creating the life that you want, there will be a letting go process that you will be taken through. This is not always easy or comfortable but it’s an essential part of conscious creation.

I look forward to sharing this sacred space with you at my last meditation for this year.

Sending love & light,
Noreen ❤️✨

☯️Feeling Grateful Beyond Words🙏

Today I’m celebrating a milestone that means so much more than a diploma. This journey has opened my heart, strengthened my spirit, and connected me more deeply to the Chi, to nature, and to my true purpose.

A heartfelt thank you to Pam & Yogi Cho my teachers at Universal Energy Arts & Yoga Child Academy Cork for your unwavering guidance over the past number of years. The teachings of Qigong have transformed me. What once felt like a blockage in expressing my voice has now become a source of strength and freedom. I’m forever grateful for the sacred space you have helped me cultivate within.

A big big thank you to my fellow graduates Yoga Moon le we started together so many years ago. Izabela Savage Josette Galligan Mish DeVille & Aidan.💟

I’m so proud of this achievement and so grateful for the path that led me here. I look forward to sharing this beautiful work at Epona and continuing to walk with love, harmony, and purpose.

Here’s to honoring our true hearts and contributing to a kinder, more compassionate world.💓
