A Somatic Journey To Rest And Renewal

With Niamh O'Shea

This five day course is an invitation to return to yourself through somatic meditation, a gentle approach that works with the body, breath, and awareness to create safety and calm. Each day begins with a short reflection to introduce the practice, followed by a guided meditation to help you experience it directly. Over the course of five days you will learn how to arrive in the body and feel grounded, use the breath to soften and release tension, open the heart to steadiness and compassion, explore gentle flow and movement for ease and vitality, and integrate your practice with deep rest and renewal. The lessons are simple, accessible, and designed for anyone seeking more presence, softness, and balance. By the end of the course you will have practical tools to support your nervous system, settle your mind, and return to calm whenever you need it.
