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.
Past Events
We Celebrated the Light Within
Saturday 21st June, 6pm – 10pm
On the longest day of the year, we gathered to honour the radiant energy of the Summer Solstice. This special evening was thoughtfully designed to support well-being and holistic growth, blending ancient wisdom with modern therapeutic practices. It was a time of renewal, connection, and shared intention.
All proceeds from the event went directly to Luisne, helping us continue to offer affordable meditation and well-being services to our community.
Solstice Opening Ritual – Connecting Through Sound We began the evening with Barbora, using voice and breath to deepen our connection to the natural world.
Illuminating Women’s Health – A Holistic Well-being Circle Luisne’s practitioners shared transformative approaches to well-being, including Amatsu, movement for perimenopause, art therapy, integrative health, and RTT.
Gentle Yoga with Michela Michela guided us through a gentle yoga session, helping us embody the wisdom of the evening with grace and intention.
Soothing Sound Bath & Closing Ritual with Barbora We immersed ourselves in healing vibrations as we honoured the light and the solstice’s energy. As night fell, a closing ritual created space for reflection, renewal, and release.
Extended Meditation: Still the Mind, Nourishing the Heart Recap
On Saturday, September 14th, we held another enriching Extended Meditation session: “Still the Mind, Nourishing the Heart.”
It was a deeply grounding morning that began with quick walking outdoors, setting the tone for a series of 20-minute sitting meditation Zen practices interspersed with mindful walking. A brief, silent tea break offered a moment of quiet reflection before the pattern was repeated. Many who attend these sessions find them to be incredibly rich, empowering, and affirming for their own meditation practice.
These Extended Meditation sessions take place four times a year. If you’re interested in joining us for the next one, please contact Sr. Miriam directly at 0872138222 or miriam@luisne.ie to inquire about upcoming dates.

Yin, Yang & Sound Healing Retreat Recap
On Sunday, October 20th, we hosted a truly rejuvenating Yin, Yang & Sound Healing retreat, expertly guided by Laura and Barbora.
It was a wonderful afternoon where attendees journeyed through grounding yin postures, flowed into gentle, breath-synchronized movements, and settled into a peaceful guided meditation, all culminating in a restorative sound healing session. This retreat was all about hitting the reset button for your nervous system, allowing both body and mind to find deep rest. Everyone left feeling wonderfully centered, calm, and completely rejuvenated.
For those interested in exploring more of Laura’s offerings, you can find her work at Ved Karma.
