“Luisne, the first blush of light before dawn breaks”
translation from old Gaelic
Stay safe, be kind and we will get through these difficult times together.
“Luisne” (pronounced lishne) is Irish meaning “the first blush of light before dawn breaks”. One of Luisne’s goals is to contribute to the dawn of a new consciousness. Since 2004 Luisne has served a growing community throughout Ireland. Its beautiful undisturbed environment could justifiably be called a “spiritual landscape.”
Luisne provides events, courses, workshops, talks, meditation sessions, cultural & theatrical events and much more for the local and wider community, both on an individual and group basis.

Check out Gretta's course video here Gretta is a qualified Holistic Therapist and, over the years, having learned many different types of meditation. She had intended teaching meditation but realised that while a lot of people need some kind of relaxation, they don’t always want to get into meditation. So Gretta decided to offer physical relaxation which basically involves visualisation, using the breath, and slowly and easily moving through the different parts of the body, with some additional features. It is a very simple technique and will already be familiar to some people. Gretta has been doing these relaxation sessions for a few years and when restricted by the Covid regulations, moved them on-line. Currently, she facilitates one session a week on Zoom. -
