As we come towards the end (hopefully) of the Covid19 pandemic I am offering a hybrid teaching of my Movement workshops and classes. I  have in person workshops and zoom 5 Rhythm classes, all details on the calendar of this website

For those of you who would like a little taste of mindful movement I have  a series of mini movement sessions (8/10/12 minute long) made for Connemara Community Radio which I would like to share with you under the Mini Movement Series section.

Stay well,
Caitríona

Let me share this beautiful poem that speaks so well of the essence of my work, how do we listen to the guidance coming through our bodies, minds, hearts and essence.

Today I will listen

Today I will listen

Without interruption

Without prejudging

Without second-guessing

Without gazing

Without rehearsing

Without discounting

Without filtering

Without correcting

Without contradicting

Today I will just listen

 

Today I will listen

With attention

With humility

With respect

With patience

With understanding

With awe

With gladness

With empathy

With warmth

With gratitude

With reverence

Today I will just listen,
