We will walk in the footsteps of our ancient ancestors and meditate in the UNESCO sacred site of NewGrange. It is a grand astro architecture passage tomb that was built by very sophisticated people during the Neolithic period, around 3200 BC, making it older than Stonehenge and the Egyptian pyramids. While there we will connect with Goddess Boann, who is said to reside in the womb/mound of Newgrange with her lover. We will celebrate, dance, play, and make art with the Fairy Folk, Cerrunos (the GreenMan) and the Devic Kingdom as we walk the sacred grounds of the Institute of Transpersonal Shamanism and at the fairy rings of Loughcrew. We will trek through the ancient Hill of Tara, which was the high seat of the ancient Celtic Kings~ igniting our heArt chakras through making art, journaling, and connecting to the torus heartbeat of this sacred site/womb of the Earth Mother Goddess, Danu. We will embody our Sacred Warrior of Light, the Irish Goddess Morrigan at the castle of Trim, through Art and creating our new story and mythology. We will climb to our highest potential, as we ascend the ancient hill of Slane. Together we will build a sacred cauldron of Anam Cara, transformation and interconnection. Through these rich and tantalizing experiences you will clarify your dreams, build bigger ones, and align with your creative powers. Our home and anchor for these six days will be at the magical and high energy Dunderry Park, which is home to the Transpersonal Institute for Irish Shamanism. Just by being there, through osmosis you will absorb much of the ancient wisdom and teachings.

Magical Curated Experience Each day we will open our circle with a Goddess archetype from Ancient Ireland with the Harmonia Art, Essential Oils, Meditation & Yoga Practice. We will journey to a sacred site with our art journals, watercolors, and embody the site through our art and consciousness. There will be meditative quiet time for you to travel into your inner worlds and walk the grounds. After dinner we will evoke the faery folk thru art workshops, storytelling, and open studio.

Great video from Dr. Theresa Bullard on healing the limbic system through essential oils, music, and other tools. I would totally add in Art and then you are doing my Harmonia Practice.
Essential oils can also heal your Chakra System. Below is an article that suggests some amazing to incorporate into your daily Self Care Practices. Essential Oils to Balance Chakras By Marian Grande featured on Health Care in America Pretty much everyone has heard of chakras. Although I find many people aren’t really clear on what they are or what their function is. Let me explain: Chakras are energy centers within the human body that help to regulate all its processes, from organ function to the immune system and emotions. There are seven main chakras that are positioned throughout your body, from the base of your spine to the crown of your head. Each chakra has its own vibrational frequency, color, and governs specific functions. To achieve balance in all areas of your life, your chakras need to be balanced, in alignment and spinning just right. Essential oils can help you achieve that balance. First Chakra — Root Chakra Patchouli Essential Oil Also stimulates the second chakra (Sacral Chakra) The root chakra is located at the base of the spine and is represented by the colour red. It is also represented by the physical element of Earth. It represents grounding to the physical world and survival/self-preservation. The root chakra is associated with the spine, legs, feet, colon, the adrenal glands, the spine, legs, feet and colon. A balanced root chakra will have the following characteristics: being grounded, stability, stillness, prosperity, physical health, a sense of safety and security, and being present in the moment. This essential oil gives the gift of enjoying being alone with yourself in a content, relaxed state, giving rise to having a large energy store so you can get things done. It can be very supportive in helping you reach your goals, from clarification of what you desire to having the drive to do what is needed to reach your goal. This essential oil also helps you overcome fatigue and feeling down.

Third Chakra — Solar Plexus Chakra Pine Essential Oil Also stimulates the fourth chakra (Heart Chakra) The solar plexus chakra is located above the naval centre, and is represented by the colour yellow. It is also represented by the physical element of fire. It represents willpower, motivation and vitality. It is often associated with the pancreas, liver, spleen, stomach, lower back muscles, the metabolism and digestion. A balances solar plexus chakra should show the following characteristics: confidence, warmth, self-discipline, reliability, and a positive sense of self. Pine essential oil is an oil for the restoration of the heart when your emotions have become hard or jaded. This oil releases you from old wounds, letting you move forward without the baggage of the past, bringing the ability to experience your emotions in real time versus playing out echoes from the past.
