Message of the High Priestess

🌑 Message of the High Priestess

(Mystic Masters Oracle deck channelling)

I am the High Priestess.
I walk this earth as the Goddess incarnate.
Across lifetimes I have studied the Books of Wisdom, the language of the Goddess.
The language of the Goddess is the language of Nature.
It vibrates with sovereignty, with divine intelligence, with remembrance.

When you draw this card, it speaks to your voice.
Are you holding back from speaking your truth?
Have you addressed what must be addressed in your life?
Do you have the courage to speak?

To live in your sovereignty you must dare to speak your heart’s deepest desires.
When you speak the language of your sacred heart, your strength upgrades.
Your heart ascends into heavenly realms.
Your truth reverberates throughout the world.

Action:
Create a painting as an offering to your throat chakra — a visual spell.
Pour your heart’s language into color and form.
Let it say:

“My heart is free and full of love.
My heart desires to love, to be loved, and supported.
I have the courage to share my magic and my healing.
My art is medicine. My words are a balm of truth.”

A Higher Fortune: Returning to the Ancient Power Within

A higher fortune is coming to you, a new kind of power.
But it cannot be fully received under the watchful eyes of others.

I was with you in Atlantis before the fourth fall.
I am with you again now, seated on a throne of amethyst, sword and shield in hand.
Softening a hardened feminine lineage is no easy feat.
For generations, your sisters beat clothes on rocks, swam in ice water to gather food and medicines for their communities.
They turned their sharp tongues and swords on each other trying to preserve the sacred messages of the wildflowers, the triple spiral, the healing hands.

Some closed their hearts for fear their gift would be stolen.
Others quietly faded away.
Women afraid to speak spiritual truths shuttered their third eyes.

Your grandmother began to open it again.
She had wisdom far beyond her years, able to see into people and turn that gift into practical power.
This wisdom lives in you now, embedded in your DNA.

You are opening again the Book of Nature once closed and hidden.
It teaches you how to see your own true nature through the world around you:
the quiet morning, the quiet mind, the spirit of the wind.

Your ancestors sang to the flowers, pegged stones, picked medicines from the ditches, honored the sleeping cycles of earth.
They were seen as “too wild, too clever” for normal people.
They roamed the mountains and returned with remedies for the sick.

The Slieve Mish mountains hold your ancestors’ lore and messages.
All of it is still there, waiting.
It’s time to open your third eye and carry forward the healing legacy of your lineage.
Trust the journey. Trust the wind and the mountains guiding you home.

🌑 Next Step — The Land

The land you are about to move onto is ancestral land.
There is a well nearby with three crosses engraved beneath the soil — a scar left from a time when the community was split, before the War of Independence.
Any sign of rebellion, any sign of wildness was banished quickly.
A ley line was hidden. Gold was hidden.

When you step onto the land, your work will begin.
Bring blessed water, fruit, and offerings to the otherworld to remove the old scarring.
Rewalk the line. Open it again.
The “valley of the mad” was not madness but power.
Three sisters, a brother, and a cousin once tended this place, drawing people from across the country for healing.

The church tried to erase them with curses, manipulation, and lies.
The protection spells weakened.
Now you return to restore the line.

A blue door and a pink door stand before you.
The pink holds light, color, and joy.
The blue holds stars, magic, and lunar force.
Open them now in your mind’s eye.
Tomorrow things will seem softer, like stepping into another reality.
The calcification of the third eye, thousands of years of persecution, is ending.
You will rise like the Phoenix intended for this time.

Nothing is out of place.
You’ll know exactly what to do as your knowledge returns.
Your softer nature will lead the way.

PAINT & PEACE PROGRAMME CREATIVE COMMUNITIES

The Paint and Peace programme was delivered in partnership with the Irish Girl Guides and local Ukrainian communities, with a focus on creative expression, cultural integration, and wellbeing. Through visual art, 3D printing, nature-based activities, and meditation, participants developed new skills, strengthened community connections, and engaged in meaningful intercultural exchange.

The programme successfully engaged both Irish and Ukrainian children and families. Feedback consistently described the programme as well-organised, engaging, and highly beneficial. Parents highlighted its role in supporting community building and providing a positive, creative outlet for children, particularly those adapting to new cultural and social environments. One parent noted that their child “loved everything” and that the camp was “amazing,” while another emphasised the programme’s importance for “community building and mental health support.”

A strong emphasis was placed on developing positive relationships with nature. Outdoor art-making, photography, and reflective practices enabled participants to deepen their connection with the environment, providing a valuable counterbalance to screen-based activities. Testimonies observed that these nature-based experiences will create “meaningful memories that shape them as adults.”

Innovation was also central to the programme through the integration of 3D printing. This activity proved to be a highlight for many children, who were inspired by the opportunity to design and produce unique objects. The technology provided an accessible entry point into sustainability and creativity, fostering problem-solving and imagination.

The programme concluded with a public showcase in the local library, which brought families and community members together to celebrate the achievements of participants. The exhibition featured outdoor photographs, artwork, and 3D printed objects, with strong positive feedback regarding its organisation, presentation, and impact.

Overall, the Paint and Peace programme demonstrated the power of creative practice to foster intercultural understanding, resilience, and belonging. It provided children with opportunities to explore artistic and technological skills, supported positive mental health, and strengthened community bonds between Irish and Ukrainian families.

Nature Inside & Out

Nature Inside & Out: A Joyful After-School Club Full of Mud, Magic & Creativity

For children aged 4–10 | Tuesdays 3:30- 5 PM

Hello!!

I’m so excited to share something really special with you—a six-week after-school adventure for children aged 4–10 that’s all about nature, creativity, play, and most importantly… being exactly who you are.

Nature Inside & Out is a warm, joyful space where children can unwind after the school day, explore their imagination, and get beautifully messy in the best possible ways. Think willow tipis, mud kitchens, clay creatures, nature mandalas, and lots of laughter under the trees.

We’ll be in the woods as much as possible (yay!)—and when we’re indoors, we bring the outdoors with us. It’s all about freedom, expression, connection, and fun. Every session is a gentle mix of grounding nature-based activities and creative art-making, with a big dose of friendship and fresh air.

So what do we actually do?

Each Tuesday from 3:30 PM to 5 PM, we gather for a gentle, playful session that follows the energy of the group and the feel of the day. There’s no rushing or forcing we go with the flow, and let the magic unfold naturally.

🌳 If the weather is kind, we’ll head straight into the woods!
We might be building willow tipis, listening to birdsong, collecting treasures, or just lying back and cloud watching. We’ll play, explore, and enjoy being wild and free in nature. There’s something so grounding about being among the trees after a busy school day—it helps children settle, breathe, and reconnect.

🎨 Then it’s time to create!
Back indoors (or sometimes outside, still muddy!), we’ll dive into an art or sensory activity inspired by the day’s adventures. We might paint with natural pigments, sculpt with clay, make story stones, or create a giant collaborative mandala. We’ll also be using sand tray therapy—a calming, creative way for children to express what’s on their hearts without needing the right words.

And don’t worry—it’s not about being “good at art” or making perfect things. It’s about freedom, fun, and expression. Every child’s way of creating is just right.

What makes it special?

This club is a little different from the usual after-school buzz. It’s slower, softer, and more connected. It’s a space where kids can feel:

• 🌼 Totally accepted for who they are

• 👫 Connected to others in a gentle, playful way

• 🌿 Grounded by nature and inspired by the seasons

• ✨ Free to follow their own ideas and imagination

• 🎨 Calm and creative, without pressure

• 💛 Gently supported by adults who truly see them

The sessions are run by me—a creative nature enthusiast who loves nothing more than muddy boots and twig sculptures—and a wonderful Therapeutic Play Practitioner, so the emotional wellbeing side of things is always held with care. Whether a child is full of beans or feeling a little wobbly that day, they’ll be met with kindness and warmth.

Come and join us!

Nature Inside & Out runs for six weeks, every Tuesday from 3:30–5 PM. It’s open to children aged 4–10, and we keep the group small to make sure everyone feels seen, heard, and supported.

If your child loves making, exploring, imagining, chatting to trees, or just wants a cosy space to unwind and be themselves—you’re in the right place.

CALM CREATIVE CAMP FOR NEURODIVERGENT + SENSITIVE KIDS

Introducing The Calm Creative Camp for Sensitive and Neurodivergent Kids at Collis Sandes House, Tralee Co.Kerry

As a meditation teacher, artist, and someone who has spent the past seven years working in schools and social care settings with children who have additional needs, I’ve seen the deep impact that a nurturing, emotionally-aware space can have on a child’s confidence, joy, and self-expression.

Over the years, I’ve come to understand something very important: not every child thrives in loud, high-energy environments. Some children need slowness, softness, spaciousness. They need time to warm up, space to regulate, and kind adults who meet them where they are. They need environments that honour their intuition, their sensitivity, their imagination, and their nervous systems.

That’s exactly what inspired me to create The Calm Creative Camp.

🌸 What is The Calm Creative Camp?

The Calm Creative Camp is a week-long summer experience designed especially for sensitive and neurodivergent children aged 5–10. The camp is held in a quiet, creative space, with no more than six children per group, to ensure everyone feels safe, seen, and supported.

It blends creative art-making, gentle meditation, sensory-friendly play, and calming rituals, giving your child a beautiful experience that nourishes their nervous system and celebrates their natural magic.

I’m also deeply honoured to work alongside a qualified Special Needs Assistant, who will be present each day to help ensure that all children receive personalised attention and support.

Whether your child is autistic, ADHD, highly intuitive, emotionally sensitive, or just doesn’t enjoy loud, crowded camps, this week offers them something truly special: a soft place to land.

💫 Who Is This Camp For?

This camp is especially supportive for:

• Neurodivergent children

• Children with ADHD, autism, or sensory processing differences

• Highly intuitive or imaginative children who need more emotional space

• Kids who have been overwhelmed or left out in larger group settings

• Children who benefit from routine, gentleness, and patient facilitation

Whether or not your child has a diagnosis, if they are someone who blossoms in emotionally attuned environments, this camp was made with them in mind.

🌟 What's Included:

Every day at The Calm Creative Camp is crafted with intention and flow. Here's what your child can expect:

• A safe, soft space for only 6 children

• Daily creative art projects using beautiful, high-quality materials

• Guided meditations and gentle movement to support regulation and focus

• Outdoor nature time (weather permitting)

• Grounding rituals, storytelling, and gentle visualisations

• A take-home Calm Kit (with sensory items, affirmations, and nature treasures)

• A personal art journal to record and express their experiences

Plus, I’m absolutely delighted to welcome guest sound therapist Nicola O’Sullivan, who will be joining us on Thursday afternoon for a 45-minute sound therapy workshop. Nicola’s session will gently integrate the creative work from the week and offer the children a deep sense of calm, grounding, and closure.

The Tommy and Tricia Podcast

 Welcome to the Tommy and Tricia podcast. This podcast is about understanding yourself, and we'll be sharing information about energy and how it affects your body and mind and helping people with the energy of their body. So we have just passed the spring equinox on 21st of March, 2025. As we come into this time of year now, this equinox. It's about balance in time and balancing the time in the day and balancing the equal distance of night at the moment.

  In our lives at the moment, we have as much darkness as bright. And that's good for some people. And some people may find a difficulty in too much darker, too much brightness. Everyone, we all have our own sensitivities towards these things, and within that we are moving the energy of the world and the whole energy around us is moving into a cleansing period as the, as we move into the Equinox at this time, open to the summer sauces, as you were saying that now it is a time to leave, go and cleanse, and we'll do a little meditation there soon. And how to cleanse the energy, how and how to cleanse the energy in the mind and the body.

So how would you how would you encourage people to first cleanse their mind at the moment? In our mind is, trying to bring ourself to a more of our relaxed place by just sitting and connecting to the earth.

Because at the moment in this equinox here, it's about shoots and it's about growth. And then the cleansing happens as we bring one energy into ourself. We are leaving out the negative energies of our body and the energies around us. Okay. So you're letting go of the negative energies, and would you be letting go of the emotions and energies of winter as well?

All the things that we had built up over the winter and all the negativity and the stress and the anger and. Frustration over bad days and low cloud and all these things that kinda bother us. And trying to push that out now of our minds and as the days are getting, will start to get longer and we have more light each day as we go forward from here and bringing that light and brightness back into ourself.

Have you got a spiritually gifted child?

Hello!! I am here to help your child if they are able to see spirits, fairies, family members who have passed on, and can sense otherworlds beyond their own. This is a really spectacular gift your child has, however a deeper understanding and education may be needed on how to manage these gifts. Its especially difficult if the childs parents or guardians are not spiritually inclined or dont have the tools or language this space between worlds that your child finds themselves in. Your child may also shut down and may not be telling you about the spirits or people they are seeing anymore ot of fear you wont understand or accept them for who they are.

This is where I come in!!!

I have founded a Mini Mystics Saturday school in my art studio called Humingbird studio to help your child develop their pyschic gufts and build spiritual power. I also offer 1:1 Mini mystic energy therapy sessions to help your child rebalance their energy fields.

MINI MYSTICS is a Saturday school for children who have psychic skills and they can see spirits, angels, fairies and can sense the future and worlds beyond our own. This can be an overwhelming experience for both children and parents or guardians if you dont have the adequate tools and language to understand these spiritual gifts.

The more you and your child understand how to use these gifts the safer and more present your child will feel in their everyday life. It is a magical world to be in, when they have under the right guide to lead them through. When their gifts are harnessed and strengthened it will also help them focus more in school and improve relationships with peers and family members. My vision for your child is that they train with me from as young as 4 until their early teens and this will improve their intellect, enhance creativity and help them find their own destined path in life.

Like regular school our terms will run in accordance with the school terms and we will have group classes in the morning and 1:1 energy therapy work with me in the afternoon if you choose.

You can find our more about the school and the 1:1 sessions here

BLAST Artist Residency Coolard National School

"Imbas of imbolc"

Imbas is a celtic word for imagination or great knowledge.

This was the theme to bring together the folklore stories of St Batts well , the cures, work with my own art practice and cyanotypes printmaking.

The well is also a  celtic symbol for "Imbas".

The residency was a journey through the imagination using the artists work , the reimagining of my work , guided meditation, sound healing and the senses,  local stories and printmaking. 

The children learned alot about St .Batts well, cyanotype printmaking and how to use their creativity in new ways.

We did one field trip to St Batts well, to meditate, work with sound healing tuning forks and do site specific art.

The finished piece is a mural that will be displayed I'm the school hall.

Blast Artist Residency, Castlgregory National School, Co.Kerry

The mural that Ms. Emma Tarrant, 21 students and I created as part of a Blast Artist Residency, recently featured in the Kerrys Eye newspaper.

The residency was child led and the children choose to focus on stories of local legends and local folklore.

Castlegregory and the Maharees are very popular areas for fishing, and the children wanted to look at fishermen and ocean life.

We looked to the online folklore resource Duchas for inspiration for local stories. It was difficult to find stories from the Castlegregory area.

The story we choose as a subject for the mural , was about a snake that lived in the bottom of a lake in Gougain Barra in Co.Cork. In the folklore story the local people would give the snake all their precious treasures for safe keeping at the bottom of a lake.

Ms Tarrant had a fantastic idea of creating a bottle cap mural that supported creative climate change action.

Ms. Tarrant suggested we paint the mural first, then cover it in bottlecaps that were collected from Lee Strand and from the children’s home.We then glued on the bottle caps with a glue gun.

Thank you to Ms Tarrant and the students for coming up with a resourceful and unique way to bring awareness to climate change through recyclable Art.

Lá Fheile Bríde

February 1st is the first day of Spring and it’s St Bridget's day.  It’s the first unfurling of Spring, the light is welcomed back as the days get longer.

 Bridget appears in my Visionary card deck and shows herself as the fierce keeper of fire with elements of Kali Ma to her. 

Like Kali Ma she holds great love for you and will champion your imbas and gifts with fierce conviction.

Imbas is a gift from the poets of ancient Ireland, and the word means great knowledge.

It relates to art, spoken word, leadership, earth stewardship and witchcraft. I hosted Visionary Card Readings at Hidden hearth festival in October while a sacred fire was held for Brigid outside.

Over the weekend she showed up in nearly everybody's reading, the spirit of imbas was so alive  Bridget speaks to me not as the maiden but as the great mother. She’s the badass witch, great mother and great teacher of herbs, imbas and magic.

Her archetype was alive in the ones in the ditches teaching hedge schools, today she's alive in the ones who stir the cauldrons of wisdom and poetry. Here is an extract from my channeled writing of Goddess Brigid.

I am Goddess Brigid. 

I am soul fire.

I am an inspiration. 

I am the triple goddess of solar light. 

My great knowledge is the arts, poetry, healing and crafts.

I am here to remind you that your cauldron of inspiration is always overflowing. 

The vibration from your bountiful gifts will uplift the world around you into a state of inspiration.

 You’re being encouraged to find out what your unique gifts are. 

Fertility Well in Muckross, Killarney Co.Kerry

The Celts call these gifts Imbas.Brigid teaches you that your Imbas will open you up to knowledge from the world around you and that of the Divine. 

It is said that when you heal your connection to your Imbas you heal the soul of the world. 

Spend some time stirring the inspiration of your Imbas. How do you light up the world? What lights you up?

You can start right now by reciting Bridgets poem. 

It will help you stir the cauldron of your imbas so you can receive the inspiration and your personal great knowledge. 

Get a pen and paper while you’re reciting .

My favourite story of Brigid

She approached the King of Leinster requesting the land on which to build her monastery. The place she selected in Kildare was ideal. It was near a lake where water was available, in a forest where there was firewood and near a fertile plain on which to grow crops. The King refused her request. Brigid was not put off by his refusal. Rather, she and her sisters prayed that the King’s heart would soften. She made her request again but this time she asked, “Give me as much land as my cloak will cover.”

Seeing her small cloak, he laughed and then granted this request. However, Brigid had instructed her four helpers each to take a corner of the cloak and walk in opposite directions – north, south, east and west. As they did this the cloak began to grow and spread across many acres. She now had sufficient land on which to build her monastery. The King and his entire household were dismayed and amazed. They realised that this woman was truly blessed by God. The King became a patron of Brigid’s monastery, assisting her with money, food and gifts. Later he converted to Christianity. It was on this land in Kildare that she built her dual monastery c.470.

Biddys Days Festival in Killorglin Co.Kerry

Biddy’s Day is a fusion of ancient Irish pagan traditions and early Christian teachings. Bríd was one part of a trio of Goddesses, the others being Anú and Gobnait. Bríd is known as the ‘exalted one of learning, poetry and fertility’. During Imbolg, she fertilised the land and, in the tradition of the Biddy, she brings good luck to all households she visits. This luck includes fertility for livestock and bees.

The tower that falls before the LionHeart roars

Happy Full Moon in Leo. 

The full moon is in leo which means something needs to be let go of in the areas of pride, passion, courage, creativity and impulse. 

The full moon is calling you to the path of the lion heart and its a chance to sweep out the back chambers of the heart of rage, anger and frustration. 

The heart wants bliss, but instead you cage it in, squeeze it tight and try to protect it from intruders and the unknown

The heart gets confined in its own cage, you choose safety for it. You experience a milimeter of bliss and close it again

On this full moon the heart wants to be moved beyond its current experience.

The Full moon will help you topple the tower that's keeping you stuck. 

A tower moment is a period of upheaval and destruction.

 If you dont feel in alignment with how you want to live a period of destruction will happen and a tower will fall.

The tower could be a connection to an old way of being or story where you don't receive enough from life. 

Once the tower has fallen the Lionheart will enter.

The Lion invites you to expand your heart beyond your current parameters. 

Now you have the power to build a new heart and a new castle.

 But the Lion is  courageous  and encourages you to blow the fresh air of spring into your heart spaces. He knows that an open heart is what lights up the darkness. 

Its time to find bliss wherever you go and find it in every moment. 

Bliss is a concentration practice, you’ve to focus on creating it. There is nothing stopping you from absorbing the beauty of a bunch of flowers in a vase.  

Your lionheart opens when you look at a beautiful piece of art. The opening will help you to understand that your love is stronger than any hits, any marks , any bullets to the heart. 

You bring power and love together in an infusion and make a new flower essence.

This morning the monk of bliss told me the fruits of this full moon in leo are the words Minnie Ripertons Les Fleur

‘’For all of these simple things and much more, a flower was born

It blooms to spread love and joy, faith and hope to people forlorn

Inside every man lives the seed of a flower

If he looks within he finds beauty and power

Ring all the bells, sing and tell the people everywhere that the flower has come

Light up the sky with your prayers of gladness and rejoice for the darkness is gone

Throw off your fears, let your heart beat freely at the sign that a new time is born’’

Bliss is a concentration practice, you have to focus on creating it. 

The opening is going to the next level with your work and knowing that your love is stronger then any hits, any marks , any bullets to the heart.

The flower of creative power 

The flower relates to the power of creativity. The field of bliss activates when you bring in your creative power. Its your ability to sit on your golden throne and claim peace. 

 You're tuned into the spiritual power of colors,they hold divine light and Leo’s royal power. 

Your creative power creates a forcfield of spiritual colours around you. 

The colours start to hold alchemical power and you can scry them and the mysteries reveal themselves.

Your heart has unlimited scope to express itself and its not bound to the laws of man. The seeds of creative power can now be planted. 

You cant allow the harmony of your creative process to be interrupted. 

Claim your creative space now. 

Nothing can take your power , nothing can take your heart. 

A powerful heart is one that dares to go into the corners of the heart, find the dormant pieces and light it up. 

The flower of beauty

There is no real battlefield or fight to be won; the entire battle is the one that goes on in our minds. 

We stand on the battlefield of life facing all the different parts of ourselves that prevent us from realising our true nature.

This full moon in leo asks you to face the different parts of yourself that prevent your true nature. 

Your true nature is beauty and art and the flower power realm of the divine child. The flower of beauty within is the lotus in the muddy waters,

Your own mind can suppress the true nature of the artist and the witch within. This full moon asks you to face the different parts of yourself that prevent you from blooming.

At this moment in time allow your eyes to rest on beauty.

Its like a new collage is being made of an old world and the beginning of a new one.

 Your beauty within needs alot more expression through the throat chakra, it holds your spiritual pride and your creative expression. Its a cobalt blue and its asking you to stay true to the beauty of what you love to do.

The pink light that comes down is sending blessings of metta and beauty out into the world.

The Lion heart asks you to stop hiding your true nature and your creative power for fear it will be stolen or swiped from you.

Your spirit closes down as you begin to stunt your own being in favour of the flourishing of others. The way forward is not through suffering and putting others needs before your own.  This creates a repetitive loop where you get stuck in a reality where your needs dont get met.

A lion heart will let out a roar and claim his creative power and his world. 

There are times in life that require you to put your stake in the ground and claim your space.

This is one of those times.

The birth of the Mystic Masters Oracle Card Deck

These 22 characters presented themselves when the whole world was collectively preparing for a new chapter and a new way of being in their lives. It was during the 2020 lockdowns they came to assist anyone going through an awakening journey. Seemingly answering to those seeking purpose, and a deeper understanding of the innate gifts they came to earth with.

The cards are a powerful tool that can show you how to shape your gifts and talents, just like an artist crafting a masterpiece. It's all about embracing the opportunity to become the masterpiece you already are. Working with these cards allows you to hold more cosmic light and love in your heart, which accelerates transformation.

Each Master shares their wisdom with you, gathered over many centuries and throughout various societies. Some characters witnessed the rise and fall of empires, while other Masters originate from galaxies beyond. They teach spiritual authority and how to become the sovereign ruler of yourself and your life, bringing with them a sense of royalty and magic.
For example, the Kingfisher will remind you that "Real kingdoms are built with the heart at the center," and what it means to be a royal of the "New Age." Masters speak of concepts such as how to take pride in your work, and what it takes to be devoted to create your life of bliss.

All are disciplined in their practices, but do not scold. They provide tools and examples that assist you with your self-mastery. After all, a new way of being and showing up for yourself and the world brings the need for 'new' life skills. With this deck you will learn the skills to live the golden potential you innately own.
When you begin working with these Divine Masters, you'll notice they assist you at various levels in your life. The cards can support your life's work, your spiritual or artistic practices, and how you are living and creating. For example, to assist with your inner growth and expansion, helping you recognize what is awakening within, your potential and possibilities, and sometimes in balancing or clearing the past, all with a focus on becoming an authority in your own life.

Working with them will reveal knowledge of where you are on that path of birthing.

Or, to speak with the words of Lorenzo the Medici: “Once again, it is the dawning of a new age. This is a great time to be alive.”

Art + Mindfulness Workshop St Brigids Secondary School

Fiona Archibald Art Teacher and Miriam Malone 6th year head teacher of St Brigids Secondary School Killarney, invited me to create an Art and Mindfulness workshop with 6th year students.

I was delighted to be invited back to the school after completing a BLAST residency in November 2023 with Ms. Archibald’s students.

The workshop was held as a support to teenager in stress management, peer pressure and self confidence.

Goal of workshop

The goal of the workshop was for exam students to engage in a series of self reflective art and meditation tools that they can use in school and at home. The workshop taught teens the importance of creating space to reflect on their lives through Art and Meditation.

They can incorporate the art and meditation practices into their daily lives and build a sronger feelings of self confidence in who they are.

Having a healthy relationship to their own emotions will improve relationships with family, peers and the larger school faculty.

What practices did the students engage with?

Meditation Practice 1 :Body Scan

 Meditation helps to calm down the monkey mind through helping it to focus on one simple practice that's being presented to you.

The body scan goes through the whole body down to the feet and brings a sense of peace and takes the focus away from a busy mind. A body scan brings focus and awareness to different parts of the body.

It helps the mind to focus and it releases any feelings of distraction or dissociation from your environment.

This practice begins the process of training the monkey mind.

The monkey mind is a term used to describe an over active mind.

The monkey jumping from branch to branch is an analogy used to describe how you are always jumping from one thought to the next. 

The students stood in small groups and were led through a 15 minute body scan where I lead them to focus on different parts of the body beginning with the top of the head. 

For example 

‘’Bring your awareness to the top of the head, rest your attention here for a moment…. Now bring your awareness to your left eyebrow, rest…. Now your right eyebrow… Now bring your awareness to the tip of the left ear. ‘’

Meditation practice 2

This Mindfulness Art practice connects the subconscious and conscious mind through a simple art technique. 

The subconscious mind holds information, feelings and facts that may have been otherwise been unaware of since they are not part of your conscious mind.

A student may have difficulty speaking about certain worries or stresses but Art is the tool that helps them to release feelings in the subconscious mind. 

Through art you give voice to these parts and it can help the students release tension, anxiety and stress from the mind and body.

Healing music was played during the art practice to help students stay in the meditative state.

Meditation Practice 3

Metta or a loving kindness practice is a practice used to improve relationships and friendships. This is a really valuable tool for teenagers as they navigate social pressures and self esteem issues. Metta gives you the opportunity to work with one prayer You can cultivate this intention to open the heart to your own wellbeing by silently offeringyourself some phrases of metta. In your head, slowly offer yourself the phrases:

“May I be happy.”

“May I be healthy.”

“May I be safe.”

“May I be at ease.”

The students then went on to offer the prayer to someone they were annoyed with, someone they barely know such as a shopkeeper or neighbour, the last person they offered the prayer to is someone they are having difficulty with. This metta practice has a profound impact on how you see yourself, how you see others and how you deal with arguments.

Meditation practice 4

It's valuable for students to reflect how their emotions and worries are released during the workshop. 

A closing ceremony helped them to close the door on what they explored in the workshop so they could continue on with their day. 

We closed the workshop by asking each student to take part in a water and ink ceremony.

Water as an element represents the emotions so we will ask each students release big emotions through this closing ceremony. 

The water ceremony taught them how to fully let go of anything they'd been holding on to. 

We use use coloured inks as part of this water ceremony.

Each student will take an ink bottle and drop coloured ink into a six different bowls

They each dropped the coloured ink into the bowl and privately state to themselves what they were releasing.

Sacred Sites Co.Kerry

High Energy Sites were built on ley lines and energy grids chosen by our ancestors, these sites were energy sources that were considered to be holy. Ley lines have been compared to the acupuncture meridians of the human body.  Our ancestors knew the paths of the ley lines and knew how to amplify the already abundant energy.

St Ita’s Grave, Listellick, Tralee, Co.Kerry

St. Ita was called the St.Bridgid of Munster. She was born in 475 and died in 570. St. Ita was also a keeper of sacred knowledge. She was born at Decies in Co. Waterford. Ita refused to be married and after securing her fathers permission she choose to live a monastic life. After moving to Kileedy in Co.Limerick, she founded a community of Women dedicated to God. She also founded a school of boys, one of her students was St.Brendan.

Scotias Grave, Foley's Glen, Tralee Co.Kerry

Queen Scotia’s was reputedly the daughter of an Egyptian pharaoh, a contemporary of Moses, who married the Gethdor and became the founders of the Scots and the Gaels after being exiled from Egypt. Another myth says there was another Scota who was the daughter of an Egyptian pharaoh named Cingis, a name found only in Irish legend. She married Nuil so of Fenius Farsaid a babylonian who traveled to Sagthia after the collopse of the towers of babel. Nuil was a scholar of languages and was invited by the pharaoh of egypt and given Scotas hand in marriage. They had a son Geidel Glas, the eponoymous ancestor of the gaels, who created the Gaelic languages by combining the best features of the 72 languages then in existence.

 Im offering 2 hour journeys to Queen Scotia with me.
The journey to Queen Scotia is designed to help you hear the divine feminine messages Queen Scotia and Nature has for you.
We'll interpret these messages through my oracle card deck, through accessing the magic realms and by listening to the plants, trees and wind.
The land and Queen Scotia are very much alive and ready to support you on your priestess path.
You can join me with a small group of friends for magic, ritual and purpose

Get your affairs in order with the Kingfisher King

I  stand before you as a powerful druid of ancient Ireland, and I protect Mother Nature.

I practice white magic that uses the energy of nature to achieve purposes.

I walk along ancient labyrinths and seek counsel from mighty waterfalls.

I open the gates and fairy doors for you to the Otherworld that lie across the Irish landscape.

The veils are always thin, and the heavens are always guiding me

Come sit with me in the center of the five elements.

Enjoy sitting in the divine garden, watching the birds fly by.

Earth, WIND, FIRE, WATER, AIR, ETHER.

I am here to show you how to build riches in all areas of your life.

Nature is a paradise of pleasure where you can start receiving generously.

Real kingdoms are built with the heart at the center.

Living in unity with one another can become the pillars of long-lasting rulership.

Let us align with the stars of destiny.

The Kingfisher king appears in my Visionary deck as a druid of ancient Ireland.

In arthurian legend he is the Fisher King, a man who is given the task of taking care of the Holy Grail.

The holy grail is a mythical cup that christ drank from at the last supper and it holds the blood of christ after crucifiction

There are a few variations of the story and in nearly all of them Fisher King has a wound in his groin which can be seen as a physical or spiritual wound.

The Fisher King's kingdom is a wasteland and nothing can grow because of his impotence.

The wound has rendered the Fisher King impotent and he can't lead his men into battle.

The only way for his wound to be healed is if he gives his predecessors( young knights) the holy grail.

Through my work the Kingfisher King wants you to revitalise your kingdom and heal your wound through sharing your holy grail, which is your piece of christ consciouness energy.

Christ consciouness energy is the awareness of the higher self and divine love as part of a universal system.

Your holy grail may come in the form of your wisdom, your creativity or your leadership skills.

The Kingfisher King ,what a noble title! You’re are lucky to have a double king and a kingfisher at your service.

This colourful bird heralds a time of abundance, prosperity and peace. Its time to harvest the results of your labor of 2023 and begin attracting good fortune.

Kings are careful with their words and use their time wisely. A real king leads with kindness and and holds the torch of christ consciousness. He's a beacon of light in his community and rules with fairness and nobility.

They know the importance of building your skills and that true wealth is received through healthy relationships.

The King Fisher King and the New Moon in Capricorn.

It’s a new moon in Capricorn on Thursday 11th of January and the Kingfisher king guides you to use your manifestation energy wisely.

It’s time plant new seeds, but also cast an eye over over where you may be preventing the abundance and peace of the kingfisher from coming in.

This new moon holds the master frequency, and it’s an opportunity to master thy self through meditation or through learning a new skill or trade.

Use this winter window as a chance to burrow the seeds and trust they will start to rise as new life when the Spring Equinox arrives on March 21st.

You dont need to know the whole vision of 2024 just yet as we are still in the dreaming/ resting part of the year.

Saturn is the authority figure governing Capricorn and he’ll scan areas of your life where you’re procrastinating, where you’ve left doors open to the past or where you’re leaking energy.

Both Saturn and the king encourage you to mentally sharpen up, and face towards abundance and the flourishing of your kingdom.

The KingFisher King has a few questions for you to consider.

The Kingfisher king urges you to have your affairs in order and write down your answers in a journal and make the necessary adjustments during the new moon window.Where is your kingdom barren? What long-term gains are you after?

What is the heart of your kingdom? Based on your answers, make investments in areas like training, study programs, savings, great friendships, or relationships.

He also reminds you of the medicine of Mother Nature and that she grounds and balances your energy and helps you with stability.

The Kingfisher knows the alchemical power of working with the moon cycles and nature, he wishes you great fortune on the upcoming New Moon in Capricorn.

Teenagers at Hummingbird Studio

Teens at Hummingbird Studio

I work with teens 1:1 or in groups of max four in Hummingbird Studio. In my classes with teens I spend 20/ 30 minutes of the class teaching meditation and 60 minutes learning visual art, printmaking and working on sketchbooks. Meditation is a really valuable practice for teens to build confidence and release social inhibitions.

Life can be difficult for teens and Art gives them the opportunity to gain confidence in themselves and express themselves in their own way. Art gives them the opportunity to make sense of themselves, emotions and their place in the world. I use alot of printmaking techniques such as linoprinting, resin and cynotype , the process's involved are really suitable to teens.We also learn art history and do sketchbook work and study the colour wheel, and working with different textiles and matierials.

The meditation practices I used are based on loving kindness, self love and releasing stress and worry from the mind. I use visualisation and breathing techniques that teens can use at home and at school.

Children at Hummingbird Studio

Hummingbird Studio was founded in December 2022

The Hummingbird is a symbol of joy and lightness of being and thats what the studio is all about.

Through my training in Art, Meditation, Tusla and Hse trainings, I decided to open my own Art studio in December 2022.

I've created a structured and fun environment to help children relax, learn new art skills and meditation tools that they can use to help grow self confidence and creative expression in a way that builds societal and educational norms.

I run Kids Art and Meditation courses that integrate well being strategies in a fun learning environment. I use a range of meditation tools in my courses.

I explore a curriculim of visual art, printmaking, mindfulness art in nature, meditation.

My arts practice and methodologies has led me to be very adaptable and I have shaped art and meditation programs to suit a variety of communities. The curriculum is altered to suit the needs and skill set of different ages groups.

I've created new meditation games and new methodologies of working with emotions that bring a new imagination to that add value to communities and childrens personal lives.

I'm passionate about creative climate change action through using recyclable materials and using natural materials from the landscape.

Why are classes small groups with a maximum of 8 children per class.

My class's cater to children who love to chat and are unique and who may not be fond of big groups. So if your child is shy or likes extra attention with their art and meditation skills this class is perfect.

Exploring emotions in Hummingbird Studio

When I'm working with children we always carve out parts of the class and camps to reflect and talk about our emotions. I use creative methods as a way to teach children about positive emotions and encourage the exploration of a wide spectrum of emotions.

Values of Hummingbird Studio

As a teacher I value listening, loving kindness and support kids in building their technical creative and meditation skills.

We have alot of fun while learning and on the days that its bright and dry we go to Collis Sandes woods and do our meditation practice there.

I run after school classes and camps on school breaks and summer holidays.

Follow the moon to a life of beauty and freedom.

The moon represents the feminine,and she heals you as she waxes and wanes throughout the year, I see her as the goddess in the sky.

The lunar aspect of your life is lost until you start to track the moons,the part you lose is your connection to your intuition.

You also lose your pyschic power and emotional depth.

When you recover your soulfulness and your connection to the beauty of your own feelings, life begins to change.

As you follow the moons, abundance starts to play a bigger part in your life.

A life aligned with the moon is a life of inspiration, growth and celebration.

The moon as your teacher and healer

As your guide, she will shine her moon light onto the parts of you that desire more freedom and beauty.

Meditating with the moons is a chance to pause and ceremonialize who you are, what you embody, your achievements, and rejoice in what makes you feel alive.

The transformation that needs to happen may simply mean you are ready to release something so it can take on a different shape.

Like finishing a project, moving from a love relationship to a more committed stage like an engagement. When you release the old shape,then the alchemy can occur.

As the new and full moons pass, you'll intuitively know when to plant seeds or when you need to let go.

Periods of feeling stuck, uninspired, or creatively blocked become less frequent.

The moon as a source of feminine power.

Feminine power is your ability to shine forth your true self and allow it to be seen.

It’s different to your masculine power which directs, takes charge and moves forward. Feminine power is inwardly cultivated through meditation, reflection and learning from past experiences.

As you grow with the moons, she starts to remove the false masks and layers of protection that keep you hidden from a real connection with yourself.

First she'll teach you about self love, healthy boundaries and nourishment.

Then you’ll find out how to cleanse your emotional body and release stuck emotions such as sadness, rage or hurt.

You’ll be freed from mental loops that keep you trapped in past stories and memories.

As your power grows you’ll sense spaciousness in your thoughts and you'll recognise you've more time in your day.

The rushed ‘‘I’m behind schedule’’ feeling starts to leave your body and the natural rhythm of life takes over.

She starts to enchant you and your heart will be drawn towards wisdom and transformation.

The time you used to be spend doom scrolling is now spent in silence, listening and practicing ritual.

How does the moon free you from limitations?

Over time the masks and layers start to fall away and the wisdom keeper, magician and true self starts to step forward.

Your true self starts to reveal itself, you'll have a desire to share your souls gifts and skills more. This gives birth to the magician within and you'll have more confidence in living a life thats true to you.

A life of magic is one where you use all your gifts and skills to there optimum level.

You no longer feel the need to direct life but instead allow it to shape itself.

Now the wild feminine power of life can move through you.
