Building Resilience & Releasing Trauma - with nature

Re-Wilding Afternoon in West Cork (near Skibbereen)

Come and walk, talk and listen to nature as April leads you on an outside afternoon in the forest. Too much of our lives as women has been spent inside, this has got to be the biggest fundamental change to make in your life this coming year; because going outside will have the most impact.

What will shift in me today, if I spend an hour outside? Perhaps those answers I have been seeking are indeed out there! In the garden and the forest, the land has a story to tell. We can gather herbs to make tea or syrups and discuss ancient healing ceremony and rituals.

During this class you will identify some local plants and trees, run through puddles, dig in the ground, plant seeds and listen to the earth using your intuition. Your learning outcome will be more peace and contentment, aligning with your purpose and boosting your immune system. How am I going to ever be who I am meant to be, if I don’t re-discover my roots?

I no longer want to be the lady of the house, I want to be the wild thing in the forest…..

1pm until 3pm - hot refreshments, soup & snacks included. Herbal workbook available.....

€55

The weather will be as it needs to be – dress accordingly. Bring wellies, rain gear and warm socks.

Intuition for Health, Life & Business

April is delighted to offer this workshop again this summer, on Wednesday 14th August; Intuition for Health, Business & Life. It’s about accessing our own intuition that may have got lost in the mayhem of everyday living. We all have this six sense of knowing what’s right for us (and what’s not), but modern living encourages a more mental approach to figuring things out and the value of tuning in to our intuition is at best overlooked and at worst scorned. April has programmed Intuition for Health, Business & Life workshop to coincide with the imminent New Moon solar eclipse to enhance our connection with nature and therefore ourselves.

The workshop takes place up in the hills in Caheragh above Skibbereen in West Cork on Wednesday 14th August from 10.30am until 4.30pm. All notes, a workbook and an organic lunch is included.

€97 per person
