In the indigenous cultures all around the world it is believed that every time we acknowledge the spirits or life force of the water be that through song, prayers or blessings the healing powers of the water are activated and the water becomes medicine.
All water is connected and all life is connected to water. It doesn't matter if it is the water in your teacup, in your body, in the sky, in the lakes, rivers or oceans. They are all one.
"Water is a teacher, a healer, a mirror."
This gathering is an answering to the call of the spirits of the Water. We will work with this sacred element to find our inner flow, to soften into the path of less resistance allowing the dissolving of all that is creating unbalance and dis ease, tapping and enhancing our very own source energy.

What Is Inner Source Activation?
ISA is a transformative energy healing process that facilitates the dissolving/purification of the body's energy system where old memories, energy blockages and traumas are stored while restoring the body's natural flow of energy. It is a life force energy intensification and activation.
This activation leads to the expansion and realignment of your energetic system, often resulting in positive shifts in perception, personal growth, and spiritual development.
During these sessions, you'll find yourself in a comfortable, laying down position, guided by curated music and intuitive touches, woven together with healing sounds and ancient languages.
All that's asked of you is to relax and surrender to the innate wisdom within you, letting your body freely express itself. Be it through movement, emotional releases, laughter, tears, or serene stillness—every facet of your being is welcomed with open arms.

Dearbhla will lead a warming Vinyasa flow practice in the mornings. Practicing several sun salutations with a different variations. The overall practice is slow, moving mindfully with the breath. Holding some poses a little longer to develop strength and generate warmth in the body. We will flow through different transitions improving overall body awareness and opening the joints, while also strengthening and lengthening the muscles. The practice is slow, warming and requires some physical stamina yet it has a lovely meditative and mindful quality to it. Dearbhla will offer modifications for any of the more challenging poses and rest is always an option! Creating an overall feeling of stillness and calm.
This is a lovely practice which focuses on breathing, stretching and relaxing before lunch.
Slow down, unwind and restore your energy with a ninety minute Yin Yoga and restorative practice, aiming to calm the mind, stretch and relax the body. This two-hour practice will create space and stillness in both the mind and body. Yin yoga targets the connective tissues, such as the ligaments, bones and even the joints, and releases tension and stress in the body.
The focus is simply about letting go of stress and tension, releasing into a deep yin practice followed by a long restorative practice using bolsters and blankets so people can relax, unwind and recharge. Dearbhla will use relaxing essential oils during the restorative practice for an even more relaxing experience.
