COURSE
The Calm Café
With Orlaith O’Sullivan
In this hectic, noisy world, how do you create daily space to care for yourself and refresh your energy? Too often, we take a break but we're still caught in the momentum of our day. We worry, we scroll, we feel overwhelmed or irritated - and we continue depleting our energy. It doesn't have to be this way. Even a small break can be a haven for you: supportive, nourishing, restful. In this course you'll establish your own intention for your wellbeing. You'll find a selection of ten practices to calm your mind and warm your heart. You will create a space that's unique to you, to: -re-set your mood -learn the joy of monotasking and how it protects your energy -release the past, letting go of a difficult morning -establish yourself in this moment, so that a looming To Do list doesn't sabotage your roundedness -nourish a sense of joy -take care of anxiety or anger -explore deep relaxation to release built-up tension and stress -take great care of your precious self - for life! If you've got ten minutes, you have time for this. So get yourself a cuppa, pull up a chair and create a space of deep ease for yourself.

These past 13 days have been nothing short of magical. This course opened doors to new ways of seeing, feeling, and creating. Each moment was filled with inspiration, depth, and gentle transformation. Ola guided us with such grace and intuition, leading us beyond what words can express, beyond what I ever thought possible. I am deeply grateful for this journey, for the light it brought, and for the beautiful souls who shared it. My heart is full. Thank you for this truly extraordinary experience 🙏🙏🙏

I love how real and grounded this series is. And she has a great way of pulling metaphors from everyday life that bring home the lessons - for example the idea that we should put as much care into maintaining and restoring our own personal stores of energy as we do into making sure that our phones stay charged.

I actually laughed during the session that talked about getting angry at yourself. I have been doing that often and I have a different view on it now. Thank you so much for this course.
