A Year 4 You in April, 2025

Embodied Compassionate Awareness Practices, Souldance & Systemic Constellations.

This course is suitable for practitioners at all levels, from beginners to experienced. We are taking bookings now.

ARRIVING/ SLOWING DOWN:

We begin to take time to slow down, to catch up with ourselves and give time as to how we approach our body, heart and mind coming into present time awareness.
Our Intention is to create sacred space a place of returning, coming home, remembering the fullness of ourselves.

We seek to awaken the inherent wisdom of the body through embodied contemplative practices on our own and within the container of relationship.

We meet at An Sanctoir, a sanctuary space deep in the heart of West Cork... Here the land, river,mountain, and sky together with the wildlife and the green ones create a larger container for us to resource and support our personal history and journey. Inside we meet in the shape of Circle as container, a container on many levels- in its cellular form level as it is found in many ancient cultures and healing traditions.

Mostly we eat lunch at Dan Grey’s place on the land where he cooks delicious soups and salads from his garden.

EMBODIED PRACTICES & CARE: We move through multiple processes of somatic movement, dancing rekindling the fire as well as our creative juices, remembering and returning to our wise earth, water, fire and spaciousness.... retrieving our ‘one wild and true nature’ ( Mary Oliver)

A CO-CREATIVE SPACE: We create together a space for us to dive into some of our personal stories, where we have been and what has touched us, and how we can begin to find the gold inside our stories. An intimacy arises between us as we widen and deepen into practice together, holding each other, witnessing , stepping into systemic constellations representing each other’s mothers, fathers brothers and sisters. Sometimes this results in ceremony or collective prayer that speaks to our body hearts and souls in the moment attributing to a larger consciousness required for all our waking up at this time.
Our personal stories unfold through sound movement and systemic constellations interacting and evolving in ways that support evoke each persons consciousness and healing reminding us of the larger story of life in which we all play a part.

The eyes of the future are looking back at us,
and they are praying
that we might see beyond our own time.
They are kneeling with hands clasped
that we might act with restraint,
that we might leave room for the life
that is destined to come.
To protect what is wild is to protect what is gentle.
Perhaps the wildness we fear
is the pause between our own heart beats,
the silent space that says we live only by grace
wildness, wilderness lives by this same grace,
wild mercy is in our hands.
Let this be our prayer, reimagined.
