sonas tea party 🍵
A New Offering.
This Sunday, I’m holding the first in a series of ten workshops on Wellbeing for Mind and Body. It’s a once-a-month gathering to breathe deeply and explore simple and sincere tools for inner transformation. These workshops are designed to give you mind s p a c e and soothe your nervous system.
The first session is dedicated to welcoming light back in. It’s a write-and-burn ceremony to release and re-align. We’ll meditate. We’ll write. We’ll expand our hearts. If this sounds interesting, you can sign up for the online session here and the in person session here.
*in-person workshop includes ceremonial cacao.
🍵
For members, these monthly workshops (/aka tea parties) are free online and 50% off in-person (use code member to book). If you want to be a Sonas founding member, join here at the discounted rate of €33 p/m.
The Earth's orbit around the sun is not precisely 365 days — so once every four years, we effectively get an extra day to keep the calendar aligned with the seasons. So now that we’ve synced up cosmically, I’ll be welcoming a mindful month of March. Doing things like;
~ Picking up a book more often than scrolling on my phone.
~ Sitting with discomfort — a touch longer to see what it says.
~ Brining tenderness into the tiniest of things — even a cupán tae.
Here’s a new little playlist for easy-ful morning coffee/matcha/moments.
Mindful March
Buddhist teachings tell us we can begin anew at any moment.
I love that.
I’ve started over more times than I can count. And I’ve finally learned we can begin anew in the same direction by simply choosing to embrace what’s already here. As we turn the page onto a new month, we can build on the solid foundation to allow more of the good stuff to emerge.
Abraham Maslow pioneered the study of human happiness — his life’s work was understanding how to “become everything one is capable of becoming”.
Originally, his motivation model placed our Human Needs in a five-element hierarchy (1943). At the top, once self-actualised, we humans would reach our truest potential — and only then embrace things like creativity.
Later (1987), he proposed that the order can vary based on individual characteristics and life circumstances.
Depending on our personality and upbringing, some of us need respect more than love, while others need creative fulfilment — even ahead of our basic needs.
Going deeper, be it in meditation, coaching, therapy, or other routes, helps us get to know ourselves better and thereby leads to fulfilling our greatest potential, whatever that may be.
In my coaching practice, I work with executives and entrepreneurs who are eager to dive that bit deeper. Folks who want to achieve a sustainable level of success that looks good and feels great too. The golden thread that runs through my work is staying connected to one's authenticity. It’s where high performance meets happiness.
This month, I will be opening up two new 3-month business mentoring spots. Having recently completed three years of training in Health and Nutrition Coaching, I’m very excited to bring Sonas Health Coaching into my practice at an introductory price of €75 for one-to-one sessions.

With so much love,
