We are currently taking bookings for supervision from early childhood providers.

Cross-professional supervision is a confidential, non-performance-based space where early years professionals can bring their challenges, ideas, and concerns to a trusted supervisor within a warm caring compassionate space

To those of you working in the Early Childhood Profession, A big Welcome back this September.

I know first hand the love, the energy, and the commitment it takes to hold space for children and families every single day.

But I also know it can feel overwhelming at times and many of you feel burnt out with what seems like a never ending workload.

That’s why Cross-Professional Supervision is here for you.

A monthly supervision session offers you a confidential, compassionate, listening presence within a space where you can pause, be heard, and reflect on your practice.
A supportive space just for you.

This transformative support doesn’t just support you it has a ripple effect nurturing your wellbeing, your practice, and the environment you create for others.

✨ Available as:
• One-to-one confidential sessions (always external, never reported back to managers)
• Group sessions — in house here At The Lodge in Newbridge or online via Zoom/Teams

This is monthly support that holds you gently, strengthens you professionally, and helps you thrive in the work you love.

If this message speaks to you, reach out to me Jenny Eustace At The Lodge or through Canavan Byrne.

A beautiful read for parents whose children are moving to college this year 💜

🌿 🦋 ℝ𝕠𝕠𝕥𝕤 𝔸𝕟𝕕 𝕎𝕚𝕟𝕘𝕤 🦋🌿
“There are two gifts we should give our children: one is roots, and the other is wings”
~ Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

There comes a moment in every parent’s life that no amount of preparation can truly soften or make easier. That is the moment a child leaves the nest. You know it’s coming. You raise them with love, with hope, with every ounce of care you can give. You celebrate their milestones, their uniqueness, you witness their growth, and through all the years as they grow you carry the quiet awareness that one day, they will spread their wings and make their own way in the world but when that day arrives, the heart still trembles and breaks.

The house feels different without their presence. The hum of daily life changes.Their shoes no longer wait by the door, no towels or school bag flung on the bedroom floor, no coat hung on the banisters of the stairs and their laughter and singing doesn’t echo down the hall in quite the same way. It is a tender ache, a missing that no matter how hard you try cannot be filled.

And yet alongside this ache, there is immense pride, joy, and wonder in watching them step into their own becoming.

“The best thing you can give your children are roots and wings.” Roots so they will always know where home is, so they carry within them the grounding of love, values, and belonging. Wings so they may go and discover who they are, in their own right, in their own time, following their own call.

This season of letting go is both beautiful and bittersweet. Rumi reminds us to “Try to accept the changing seasons of your heart, even as you have always accepted the passing of seasons over your fields.”

As parents, we are asked to do just that to embrace this change, to trust what has been planted, and to honour the unfolding of a life we have loved and nurtured into being.

Love doesn’t lessen when our children step out into the world it stretches, it expands, it grows and it can become world wide if needs be. It moves into the silences between all the phone calls, and text messages it moves into the joy of visits, into the quiet prayers whispered for their safety each night.

Our role shifts, and changes but the bonds remain the same, unbreakable.

So, as your children are beginning their new journey into college life and as they take flight, may we hold close the roots that they have been given and trust the wings that carry them.
May we allow our own hearts to grow spacious enough to hold both the missing and the marvel. And may we remember that the nest may feel emptier, but it will never be empty for it will always be filled with unconditional love and that beautiful parent child unbreakable bond.

Written by a past pupil of An Croí for all parents whose children are moving to college this year.

✨ Isn’t it funny how a little saying can capture you, and stay with you long after you first hear it?

During my training in An Croí Wisdom Institute I first came across the words:

“Forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair.” – Kahlil Gibran

That line touched something deep in me. It stayed with me long after that session — first prompting me to create a cross-stitch piece and later shaping how I began to imagine sacred space.

When I developed my labyrinth, I wanted it to be a place where the earth itself could rise up to meet you. I planted Creeping Jenny (significant too 😀) around its path, hoping it might one day weave a carpet of green. And now it has — soft, springy, sponge-like underfoot. A living invitation to walk barefoot, to feel the delight of the earth itself.

Every time I walk there, that saying comes back to me. A reminder that the simplest contact earth, wind, skin, breath can open us to joy. 🌿
