Tending the fire within: An Autumn Mindfulness Retreat with Ciara

Tending the Fire Within : A MindfulnessRetreat

In the Celtic seasonal calendar, November marks the beginning of winter, a time associated with Samhain and the remembrance of those who have gone before us. Communities gathered around the fire, and household fires were renewed. It was a time to honour the turning of the seasons and acknowledge the natural cycle of life, death and renewal.

We, too, are invited to kindle the fire within, to slowdown, nourish ourselves and make space for reflection. This offers us anopportunity to pause, honour what has passed, remember those who have gonebefore us and consider what we wish to carry forward to hearten our winter.

Join us in community for a day of mindfulness as we turn inward, reconnect with ourselves and make space for rest, nourishment and connection.

Through guided mindfulness practices, including sittingmeditation, body scan, mindful walking, compassionate inquiry and moments ofsilence, we will create space to slow down.

You are invited to arrive exactly as you are, making spacefor whatever is present, moment to simply be.

Whether you are new to mindfulness or wish to deepen yourpractice, you are warmly welcome. Come and take time to pause. connect andembrace the changing season.

Leave feeling rested and grounded, to continue to steppinginto winter with greater presence, hearth and ease.

You are welcome to bring a packed lunch to enjoy in thegardens or take a stroll to one of the many nearby cafés in Stoneybatter.
