Luisne

03/06/2026

My name is Marc Barker and I am a guest practitioner at Luisne.

I work with a small group of toddlers and their parents on Thursdays, and last week we gathered together sticks to make a small fire. After showing them how to set up a fire in a safe and responsible way, we all took turns trying to light the bundle with a flint and steel. Their small hands were not up to the task, but they delighted at the moment they got a little spark!

When the fire was finally lit, we all sat back while I told a story—seeing the fire reflecting in their eyes while they were caught in the telling of it. As the embers died down and we doused the fire with an ample supply of water, I reflected on how amazing this simple, yet ancient, experience must be for the kids (and their parents).

I had one parent approach me and ask if I facilitate these experiences for adults, and that’s why I’m here at Luisne today—to get something like that going.

Wellbeing through experience in the natural world is how I structure my practice: enabling people to connect with themselves, a thriving community, and Nature.

I encourage everyone to find a spot out in nature they can get to easily. It could be a back (or front) garden, a green space, or even a local woodland. Take some time once a week to sit there for at least 10 minutes and see what you notice happening in the natural world. Record these experiences, and keep returning to the same spot over time.

Did you know that 1 in 4 women experience pelvic floor dysfunction at some point in their lives?

And yet most women only bring their attention here when something starts going wrong:
▶️ Pain
▶️ Leakage
▶️ Tightness
▶️ Numbness
▶️ A feeling that something below is simply… switched off.

But the pelvic floor is not just a group of muscles to fix when they fail us.
It is our foundation, our roots.
And just like a tree cannot thrive without healthy roots, we cannot fully flourish when we are disconnected from this space within ourselves.
That disconnection shows up everywhere:
🌺 In the body as symptoms.
🌺 In the nervous system as chronic dysregulation.
🌺 In our femininity, our sexuality, our intuition, our ability to move through life from a place of inner knowing.

This is exactly why my work bridges the physical and the energetic.
Because this space is not just anatomy, it is a place to return to.

At the end of May, I’m holding a 3-hour in-person workshop:
Pelvic Floor & Womb Reconnection
📍Venue: Luisne Bray, Co. Wicklow
🕙Date: Sat 30th May | 10:00 am - 1:00 pm

A grounded, nurturing space to come back to the roots of your body through movement, breath, awareness, and womb connection.
Spaces are limited.

If your body has been asking for deeper support, this is your invitation.

If you have any questions about the workshop please feel free to reach out
See you soon

Are you ready for a different kind of Sound Bath?

A space to come back into yourself - clear, present and awake. Even if you drift for a moment, you are not here for a nap. This session activates and deepens you so you leave with more energy, more focus and more of yourself.

Renewal, Body & Voice Activation.

If you are new to sound baths, this is a great start.
If you have been to sound baths before, this might not be what you expect. Curious?

Sunday 1.30pm - 2.30pm, Luisne, Bray.

Happy Easter!

05/04/2026

Greetings! I wish you lots of life and love energy at this wonderful time of the year.

If we open our minds and hearts to perceive and receive this energy, we can be truly nourished at our core, our essence. This will enable us to then send this energy to the darkest, war-torn areas in our world where our brothers' and sisters' lives are under threat. Believe YOU can make a difference and you will!

I wish you a truly blessed and happy Easter when your joy and fulfilment will come not just from being kind to yourself but also in being kind to others.

Sr. Miriam

My name is Satya Michela and I am a Yoga and Meditation teacher at Luisne.

For many years, I approached growth by pushing through, more effort, more discipline, more control. It worked, until it didn’t.

During my own practice one day, instead of trying to “achieve” a posture, I softened and simply paid attention to how it felt. That shift changed everything.
I realised that presence transforms more deeply than pressure. After a recent class,
someone shared with me, “I didn’t realise how much I was holding until I finally felt safe enough to let go.” That, for me, is the work.

At Luisne, I hold space for people to move, breathe and sit in a way that feels steady, grounded and honest, not performative.

If you join a class, notice one moment where you choose awareness over effort, and see what shifts.
