About Us
At Croí na Mara, our teachings are all about Navigation. This space has been created to foster self-development, healing and to acquire the tools and skills you need to navigate life's challenges and lessons with ease and grace.
There is a timeless sentiment that flows through this land; an unspoken, felt understanding that our soul is reflected in the the lands that ground us, the waters that hold us and the stars in the sky that guide us.
This is the exploration of the human self, within the natural world and cosmic backdrop that offers glimpses into the timelessness of our ancestral traditions and wisdom, an indeed the soul itself.
This is a journey of rehabilitation from disharmony, created by external environments that fail to support our internal needs and our authentic form of being. It is deeply held within earth-based practices which help to not only heal the energetic body, but also bring balance to the physical, mental and emotional states within us.
This process is inspired by the indigenous ways of the people who lived within the land of Ireland since ancient times; their relationship with the natural world, their understanding of gnosis and the ways of celtic spirituality.
It provides a modern approach to an ancient way of experiencing life, drawing on the teachings of the wild and rugged north-western Irish landscape that holds both challenges and beauty. As we learn to accept and come into alignment with the raw, unapologetic natural world and elements around us, we develop skills within us that build resilience, self-regulation and greater capacity to navigate our lives, moving towards greater sense of well-being and life-balance.
This is not simply mindful presence with the trees, mountains and seas, but fully experiencing ourselves within them through deep healing and initiation processes that awaken both the uncomfortable patterns that hide underneath the surface, but also awakening a deep remembrance of the oneness of those same elements and qualities within us. With this remembrance, we practice intentional embodiment of the essences of the elements, drawing upon their strengths when needed to navigate our lives.
Our journey began in 2020, with walking the land mindfully. Four years later, we have developed a learning and development process that begins with a foundation skills course and introduction into the 'Irish Healing Arts' upon which a mentored, personally tailored healing and development journey is taken working through personal challenges and experiences that we both learn to release and also identify key strengths that lie within each one.
