TaiChi/QiGong

Intermediate Class (Meditation Room)
Open to people who already have experience and practice of Tai Chi.
Taught by Siobhan Casey & Monica O’Loughlin.
TaiChi/QiGong, using mind body awareness techniques, teaches us posture alignment and breath control to help us remember and restore our deeper natural breathing, leading to a more relaxed nervous system. This, combined with focused movements, leads to improved energy flow to the internal organs and so assists us physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually in the movement towards greater health, happiness and enthusiasm for life’s goals.
Participants can wear loose comfortable clothes and a soft soled, flat shoe if possible.
Cost: €90 for 6 sessions. Payment is made in person at the class.

Walking the Spiritual Path Meditation with Miriam

The insights and questions that arise from the reading inspire us to delve deeper into our spiritual paths.
Everyone is welcome. No experience necessary.

Testimonials from Our Holistic Community
The Perfect Space for Healing Circles
We hosted our Human Circles in the wonderful Luisne in Bray. The room has amazing energy and feels so welcoming. It was the perfect space for us to gather in circle and support the people who attended our circle. We look forward to hosting there again soon and would recommend the room to anyone looking for a comfortable, safe space for hosting healing groups.
I have felt very welcomed by Luisne. I use the large meditation room regularly for our Family Constellations practice group. The space has been perfect for us. There is a really lovely feeling in the room. And we have loved having the gong there too, cleansing us all between constellations! I like that we can make tea and have use of the small fridge also. A fabulous space. Thanks to all at Luisne!
Luisne has been amazing for me as a holistic practitioner. The welcoming and inclusive atmosphere here is perfect for both personal and professional growth. It’s a place where everyone feels connected and supported, which has really boosted my sound healing practice and group sessions.
The community at Luisne is something special. It’s not just a space; it’s a supportive network that truly enhances our mental, physical, and spiritual well-being.
Thanks to the whole team at Luisne for creating such a wonderful space. You’ve made a huge difference for all of us!
I attend to reset the energy levels and release tension and for connection to others.

Meditation with Sacred Mandalas with Marie Andre
Taster Session to be announced
Mandala is Sanskrit for circle and in its most basic form, is a circle contained within a square and arranged into sections that are all organized around a single, central point.
In Hinduism and Buddhism, the belief is that by entering the mandala and proceeding towards its centre, you are guided through the cosmic process of transforming the universe from one of suffering into one of joy and happiness. The mandala can be understood in two different ways: externally as a visual representation of the universe or internally as a guide for several practices including meditation. In various spiritual traditions, mandalas may be employed for focusing attention of the practitioner and as a spiritual guidance tool, for establishing a sacred space and an aid to meditation. Marie Andre will gently guide you into relaxation and meditation as you complete the mandala template.
Cost: €20 for taster session 90 minutes
To Book: Please contact Marie Andre at marieandrehelga@gmail.com or text the office on 086 051 7575.
