Sisters, we invite you to reclaim your sovereignty with us with the energy of the Huntress Full Moon. As Samhain nears, we will shed that which no longer serves us, creating space for all that we wish to nurture, welcoming the next phase of our being.

Samhain marks the beginning of the Celtic New Year, and with this Full Moon falling just days before, she offers us the chance to let go of any lingering energies that may be holding us back to assist us in welcoming transformation with ease.

With a powerful lunar eclipse just past this is a potent time of evolution. Do you feel ready to take charge of your own transformation? 

The Huntress Moon embodies the spirit of Samhain, as we welcome the darker and shorter days, nature guides us home to ourselves. Welcoming the darkness outside reminds us to embrace our inner shadows.

The ceremony will include:

✨️Dark Goddess Divination

✨️Meditation and Fresh Foraged tea.

Consensual Confidence is 3-hour workshop and social event where you can meet new friends, connect with partners and pals and be part of a caring consent focused community. The evening starts with a short fun workshop on boundaries, consent, and communication. This is followed by a couple of hours where you choose how you would like to practice, enjoy, and explore platonic (non-sexual) and nurturing touch and communicative experiences with your fellow attendees. Think hugs, back rubs, spooning or connecting whilst listening or being listened to. How you choose to participate is up to you, including no touch at all! 

This is a space to truly unwind, learn some new approaches to consensual connecting, take time for yourself and feel good.

At this event I will lead you and the other guests through an orientation where we’ll go over and agree to the simple rules that make the experience of connecting with others fun, safe, and easy. Then you’ll have plenty of time to relax, chat, practice creating consensual connection or just hang out with a lovely group of people. People come to this event for lots of different reasons. Some people are already comfortable with touch and want to be in a place where boundaries are respected, so they can relax. Some aren’t even sure they want any touch at all but come to explore some communication skills. Some are just curious to know what it is all about! Benefits may include:

∙ an increased sense of well-being and belonging,

∙ a boost in compassion and playfulness,

∙ a decrease in blood pressure and afterwards, a better night's sleep.

Nurturing-consensual touch and communication is good for our physiological and emotional health, and we all benefit from quality connections with other people. Whatever your reasons, this is a great playground for discovery and enjoyment. Hope to see you there!

Tickets for this 3 hour event are €25, €12.50 for unwaged/student.

I see you…

● Dragging yourself out of bed in the morning wondering who turned you to lead overnight and reaching for the coffee pot before your eyes are even open.

● Constantly responding to people asking how you are with, “tired”. In fact, it’s been pointed out to you that you seem to always be feeling that way. Maybe you should try a Berocca !?

● Restless and listlessly scrolling social media at every break in the work day. You’re searching for something – you’re just not sure what.

● Slumped on the sofa at the end of the day, remote in hand, eyes trained on the screen so you can ignore that incomplete project in the corner. Who even has the energy for that kind of thing?

You deserve

A safe space to explore what life might look like if you had boundless energy and joie de vivre. To be seen and welcomed as the whole, brilliant and vivacious human that you really are. To grow your self belief and trust – knowing that it’s more than you in your corner. In fact, nobody puts you in the corner anyway.

During this session, you’ll be led through guided meditation / visualisation, journaling, breathwork to help you reconnect with your sense of purpose, to tap into your inner wisdom, your values and get to know your wonderful future self. The version of you that has solved all of your current challenges and built a life full of connection and purpose.

All that's asked of you is to be present.
