Indigenous pulse
Rejuvenate with American Indian healing traditions

Talking Circles are a traditional American Indian ceremony for two or
more people to come together and speak about issues of importance to the
heart, mind, and spirit in a supportive, confidential, non-judgmental

relationships, creativity, energy, and intuition. It is for anyone
interested in spiritual, emotional, intellectual growth, improved health
and well-being.

intelligence. In this Mover and Witness exercise, the body’s knowledge
and intelligence is explored.

deerhide Medicine Pouch for carrying your meaningful, healing, symbolic
objects.

Gabrielle Roth’s 5 Rhythms® Summer School
Dates:
Date for next year coming soon.
This is my 4th year of teaching the
5 rhythms®, movement/dance practice in the Boghill
Centre
The Burren from the Gaelic word Boireann is an area of
limestone rock covering hills and valleys with
meandering streams situated on the Atlantic coast. With
its extraordinary array of flora and wildlife,
megalithic tombs and monuments older than the pyramids
the Burren creates a tapestry of colour and magic unique
to this area of Ireland.
In this setting
we will dance the 5 Rhythms®, an exhilarating creative
movement practice. Through the dance we will become
curious about the sources of our passion, investigate
our essential, gentle and fun loving nature, and
identify the parts of us that hold us back from
experiencing lightness and joy in your life.
Everyday we
will dance each of the 5 Rhythms®.
We will be guided to enhance our creativity through the
medium of collage making.
We will explore and learn about the unique landscape
that is the Burren. Yoga will be on offer every morning
as a way to start the day.
And there will also be ample time for swimming, relaxing
and tasting the local traditional Irish music and dance
scene.
This workshop
is open to women and men, whether you are coming to
dance for the first time or whether you have already
been touched by the power of the 5 Rhythms®.
Tutors:
Caitriona Nic Ghiollaphadraig: 5 Rhythms® teacher
Mary Manning:
Yoga teacher
Sadhbh O’
Neill: Collage making teacher
Mary Quinlan:
Archaeologist and Guide to the Burren

booking. The full fee must be paid by July 11th
.
Cancellation
policy: Please note that the deposit is non-refundable

This work can
be deeply healing but is not therapy. Participants are
strongly recommended to secure or establish the support
structures within their own lives, as they must take
responsibility for their own mental health and well
being when embarking on intense work such as this.
Having attended to this the group itself can also be a
source of great joy, friendship, shared vulnerability
and mutual support.
Booking Information: The
number of participants on the workshop is limited so
early booking is advisable. Send with deposit to
Caitríona Nic Ghiollaphádraig, Finisglen, Recess, Co.

Conscious Embodiment
Conscious Embodiment draws on the traditions of Aikido to
offer simple yet deep techniques that help you recognise how your mind
and body habitually react to pressure, and to access more skilful and
unified responses. It works with three critical energetic competencies
that support the development of leadership presence:
Inclusiveness - the ability to use the quality of energy presence
to inspire people and energise a project;
The capacity to listen - the ability to let someone know they
have been genuinely heard;
Action without aggression – the ability to speak and act,
powerfully and magnetically.
Conscious embodiment offers physical practices and tools to
increase somatic intelligence – the unification of mind, body, emotions
and intuition. It brings a holistic understanding to leadership and
increases our capacity to act with more integrity and our ability to
influence the world.
Workshop Learning Outcomes
Insights into your personal reactive patterns and limiting
assumptions
Tools and practices that help you increase your presence, confidence,
compassion and sense of humour as you deal with change
An approach to synchronize the body's energy with what is being said,
bringing unity and clarity into action
Increased capacity to live with paradox and the tension between
opposites
A way to recover balance and clarity when faced with moral, business,
and political dilemmas
Booking and Accommodation
Cost: €375- inclusive of meals and accommodation; €575
