The Healing Power of Nature- Mindfulness and Compassion Retreat

October 28, 2021
Nature for Stress Management

As I write this on a sunny bank holiday weekend here in Ireland I’m really in tune at the moment with the move through autumn into winter in my lovely rural part of the world. The garden is very untidy, shedding growth through a brilliant array of colours fading and falling, as all prepare for the long winter sleep. Even though I have been really busy indoors with work I have spent this week practising what I preach – disengaging from my own personal cult of ‘busyness’ . I have been ( even and especially when I do not feel like it) taking time outdoors to be healed and wholed over and over, with even small doses of the green and blue that the ancient wisdom traditions always knew was medicine for the mind body and spirit, and which neuroscience has now evidenced in new ways.

‘ Natures peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees.

The winds will blow their own freshness into you,

and the storms, their energy ,

while care will drop off like autumn leaves’.

John Muir


Upcoming Mindfulness and Self Compassion Retreat

I am currently planning a Mindfulness and Compassion Retreat which I will deliver via zoom on Sat Nov 20th from 10.30 to 4pm. No previous experience of Mindfulness or Self-Compassion is necessary. This is a very popular day of selfcare, relaxation and healing, and usually books up quickly. I am also reducing the fee from €70 to €40 this time – mostly in recognition that many women I am working with who know they need selfcare have real difficulty investing in themselves from their place of depletion.


So I am giving absolute priority this time to my blog readers who might like to join me for this day. If this is you please email me here to secure your place before the retreat officially goes on sale next weekend.- info@mindfulfacilitation.com.

Mindful Facilitation

Dee Hennessy

Senior Facilitator, Mindful Mindset Coach, and Supervisor As a young woman, working in frontline, management, and later as a consultant to the not for profit sector I was the original ‘teflon coated’ ‘resilient’, ‘ever ready‘ professional, passionate about my work, and maybe a tad hard on myself as I strived to be perfect. My burnout came out of nowhere and it cost me dearly. Since my recovery my lifelong passion has been to ensure that no one I work with burns out on my watch. Something that I like to remind myself and others is that ‘we are humans not machines’. For years I worked in four different ways as a Spiritual Companion, a Wisdom Supervisor, a Mindfulness Teacher and a Wellness Facilitator – each offering the wonderful but often depleted individual a different pathway away from burnout and towards a life of success, meaning, purpose and happiness. In recent years I have distilled my experience of supervising, coaching and facilitation into cutting edge, bite size trainings. I have brought my 20 plus years of experience to this because we need to address the current challenges of stress and burnout. Never before has it been so important to build resilience , wellbeing and mindful leadership as in this always ‘on’ digital age where we sometimes live our lives over stretched, over busy and out of touch with ourselves. Blossom, Wisdom Supervision and Wisdom’s Garden are each a specially curated safe space to do this important work.

What can you expect?

During the session, I listen as you share. I may occasionally question, challenge, or support you as appropriate. Ultimately, you will own whatever insights are uncovered, as well as whatever action you might take. We end the session with a short meditation, thanking Wisdom for the sacred space and the support, and asking for continued guidance and blessings in your life.
