All Summer has been quiet on my social media . I would love to say I’ve been painting and dreaming new offerings into being.
Instead I’ve been busy moving storing and getting ready to move again 🛻 🏡 ✨

So these weeks I’m pulling back, coming home to myself where I can in little pockets of time and space.
The half moon of the year is here again. Time for homing. Time for peeling back. Time to restore 🌀 🏡 🍂 Grateful I can.

Resonant with my personal theme of coming home on the inside, and the outside, Wild Swans in person painting group is starting up again September 20th ✨
Our seasons theme is ‘Homing - Nurture from Within’ ✨
Looking forward to sharing this deeply nourishing practice with a wonderful group of warm wise women 🎨

This group is fully booked, but if you wish to register interest with me via text or on, I will get in touch if a space opens up 🙏

Wishing everyone a restful September and gentle beginning of descent into homing days ♥️

A beautiful heartfelt message for these times 💜

Blessed midsummer to all my friends 💚
This painting came through yesterday, her name is SHEILA.

She said:

Let your soul talk
Let your heart guide
Let your hands create
Let your mind rest

She talks about how the outer world is a constant UNFOLDING of our inner world. So if you want to change your world, make your inner landscape your priority.

Don't try to change the world outside of you,
Don't try to change anything by using your mind.

Rather
let all your actions and words be expressions of your soul's knowing.
Let them well up from deep within and let them be filtered by the heart.

Let it be your job
to keep your heart pure and
keep your mind at rest,
and let the expression be done by your hands.

Create!

🙏Thank you Aideen for a wonderful afternoon spent in creative circle with Five Leaves Creative

Solstice Blessings All at this time of illumination and transformation, of the flower becoming the fruit 🍓
I had a beautiful day of painting and connection on this longest day of Sun ☀️ A privilege I don’t under rate in this world over flowing with heartbreak right now 💔 This practice of gathering and painting always re affirms my belief that our connection to our creative power and gathering in community is the way we change the world 🌎 From the ground up, standing in our truth, witnessing and sharing our compassion, insight, humanity🧶

It’s Summer in April and everything is flowering here in Clare 🌸 Something is surely amiss in this glass bubble. A safe sunny place of blossoming while genocide continues and children starve elsewhere 😭 I’m witnessing and feeling heartbreak and rage that there’s no justice or relief for these children 💔 Our governments failing still in their duty to uphold human rights and international law…
Feeling the privilege of living here and working with children who are safe and well and happy. Tomorrow we re making pressed flower pendants 🌸 Holding a wish that it may be so for all children in our world ♥️ That they may be free and safe, loved and cared for and allowed to belong and just be and play ♥️

This piece will be part of my exhibition, group exhibition and short talk about Five Leaves workshops happening tomorrow at EASI studios Ennis ✨
