Hello dear,
 

Good morning to you! 💕
 
Hope you are all good and managing to take some time in these pre-Solstice days to honour the going inside time, even against all the usual Christmas extravaganza!
 
Love to invite you to join me for our final Healing Circle of 2024 on Monday evening. 
 
It has just been so special to share these circles with some of you this year and honestly I trust that the healing we tune into for ourselves, does radiate out into the ethers and to each and every person in our orbits. 
 
You can sign in here to join me:

There is some new School news and I'm excited to open registration for a new 75-hour Teacher Training for certified Kundalini Teachers who wish to transition to become Shamanic Kundalini Yoga teachers. 

This training is certified by the Yoga Alliance Professionals and is a training for Kundalini Yoga teachers who want to expand their own resources and therefore elevate their teaching, in accordance with what we are actually meeting, in a room full of people affected by modern day living ... it is indeed a training to become an informed teacher for these times.
 
New times call for new ways! We will cover all aspects of the medicine wheel and earth energy medicine alongside learning how to teach Kundalini Yoga through the lens of Shamanism, which in this past decade, I have found to be an incredibly potent approach to healing. 
 
I am excited for the ones that will step up to join this training and to be part of a supportive community of like-minded teachers who are embodied, well-informed, kind and powerful, and who wish to be part of a collective who have divested all cults of thought.

Some of you may be aware that there has been quite considerable disharmony in the Kundalini Yoga world since 2020, when the allegations of all manners of abuse came to light in a "me too" scenario.
 
There has been a lot of press, a huge piece in Vanity Fair, which was the catalyst for a new 4-part documentary series on HBO. I have seen the documentary and whilst I was aware of the scandal, it was still a tough watch.
 
Personally, I have not been affiliated to Yogi Bhajan or the Kundalini Yoga Research Institute since 2020 and in all honesty, I find it hard to understand how anyone still can be ….
 
The key point for me, is that Yogi Bhajan did not invent Kundalini Yoga … yes he invented his own version, but the practice of Kundalini Yoga predates him by some centuries!
 
For sure it was a traumatic experience for me when all these truths came out, but with time under the bridge now of almost 5 years, I guess I am grateful that this was also the catalyst for me to refine my own style, to tune back into my Shamanic roots and to have founded a School that is so far away from any cults of thought or otherwise.
 
I have shared my story in a new blog post which is here:

And I trust that it clarifies my position.
 
The School of Shamanic Kundalini Yoga and Healing Arts is an independent school, our trainings are certified by the Yoga Alliance Professionals and HEALING is the foundation of all our programmes.
 
The 200-hour Teacher Training that is underway, is an incredibly powerful experience for all of us and next week we will be together, back in the motherland of Ireland for our Winter Solstice Gathering. We will have some incredible teachers coming out into the world by the Summer Solstice.
 
Registration is open for the next round of training which begins in May next year. This is a training for people who feel the calling of their soul to teach these ancient and modern practices for deep healing. Each one teach one as they say!

I send you all so much love, hope to see some of you in the Healing Circle on Monday and between now and the Winter Solstice encourage you to tune IN … to you!

Love ,

Txx
