Simona Irwin

Simona Irwin is a meditation and movement teacher, coach, and founder of The Gathering Stream, an online community dedicated to resourcing, connection, and belonging. Her work brings together mindfulness, somatics, systemic constellations, eco-dharma, and movement to support people in befriending themselves and remembering their natural aliveness. Simona’s path has been shaped by her own lived experience of trauma, chronic illness, and displacement. What she discovered through years of practice is that healing does not come from fixing what is broken but from turning toward ourselves with presence, compassion, and curiosity. She now shares practices that help others soften into what is here - whether fear, shame, grief, or joy- and meet it with love. Her guided meditations invite a gentle awareness of the body and often weave in imagery from the natural world—rivers, trees, and soil—as reminders of our wider belonging. With a grounded and nurturing tone, Simona creates spaces where listeners can feel held and resourced, no matter what arises. Based in Toronto, Canada, and a mother of two, Simona leads classes, retreats, and community circles. Her hope is that her offerings on Insight Timer serve as companions for those longing to come home to themselves and to the web of life.
