Are you often inspired by the wise words of others, and feel called to turn your own heart-knowing into word-medicine?
But perhaps you struggle to get beyond the noise of doubt, hesitation and inner critics drowning out the quiet voice that guides you where you need to go.
Would you love to shift from tongue-tied and brain-freeze to writing, sharing and resonating deeply with the wisdom that comes from your deepest knowing?
This gives you the confidence to live fully and express clearly in ways that are true for you.
To trust your inner knowing, following your soulâs path where you are guided.
When you begin to create and live from your own medicine, you feel more on track in your life, work and relationships.
In the daily grind, itâs hard to access reliable guidance and easy to find yourself spinning, but rarely landing on solid ground.
Join us to be held in sacred space and guided into expanded states where you can access the wisdom that can guide you like the north star in the dark night.
Then you can let go of holding back, putting others first, playing small, and allowing your unique song to go unsung.
Be more confident to take up space, trust your truth and be unapologetic about who you are and how you express.
And feel freer to lift the pen or brush or mic, allowing whatâs in you to come out and be shared.
I get it.
Hi, Iâm RĂonach (pronounced rhee-on-ock).
I was forged by bone-deep shyness. I avoided all groups outside of school. For many decades, I dreaded standing in front of people, feeling like I had no skin.
It was creative writing, and poetry, that opened me to finally want to share my voice. It brought me home to myself like nothing else. I was able to step into leadership as a non-profit CEO, melting so many visibility blocks that had kept me in hiding.
The right poem, and the right words, engaged deeply, rewrites our old stories in powerful ways. They continually help me to find and step forward in ways that feel like coming home.
What I love most is to help people see themselves clearly, and share their wisdom, gifts and voice in potent ways.
My childhood was spent running around the wilds of Ireland. I love wind, the beauty of sea-washed pebbles, and making ink and art from wild plants.
What would change in your world if you could write your own soul medicine and let it guide you home?
This workshop is an invitation to listen to your deepest, wisest self. Finding the soul medicine words you need to guide your next aligned steps.
In two potent days together, youâll be supported to:
- Enter expanded states to find the words that are seeking you.
- Write and be witnessed in ways that help you trust, rather than dismiss, your own wisdom.
- Allow your soul-poems to help you inhabit a new identity, seeing who you are with a clarity that opens new pathways.
- Heal layers of silencing your voice, whether internal or external, personal or ancestral, so you can express more freely in conversations that matter.
- Deepen your connection with the source of your guidance, learning to access and trust a wisdom that always has your back.
No experience of writing or poetry is needed. You can write and share in English or in your mother tongue.
Together, we'll create a container where you can âŚ
- Melt frozen parts, so you can generate your own safety from the inside out, moment by moment.
- Feel safer in your body to show up, connect and express in ways that feel uniquely You.
- Grow your confidence to share your power and vulnerability, so that you touch others with the realness of your presence.
- Be seen and celebrated in your fullness, so you can own the value of your presence, as well as the gifts you bring.
No pushing, only gentle melting. Step by tender step.
The workshop will guide you through a powerful healing and expression process.
POWERFUL WRITING RITUALS
You'll be guided to enter expanded states, using music, poetry and guided practices. When you go deep, the words you need find you, bringing a beauty and wisdom beyond the understanding of your conscious mind.
During the workshop, you will experience a simple, but potent, process of embodying your own words. In the potent listening field of the group, you can hear the resonance of your own deeper truth.Â
This gently rewires your system and expands your identity, allowing you to see yourself and what's possible in new ways.
HEAL THE SILENCING OFÂ YOUR WISDOM
For generations, our words of wisdom were silenced, denied and undermined. We've internalised this suppression, causing us to doubt and dismiss our deeper knowing.
Our word-magic work, and the wisdom of our group field, will bring to the surface layers of collective and ancestral wounds that are ready to be released.
Where relevant, you'll be guided through powerful spoken-word invocations to release wounds of patriarchy, systemic oppression, projections, or persecution that live in your bones.Â
Clearing these layers turns down the volume on the inner and outer voices that keep you doubting, hesitating, and playing small. It liberates you from the paralysing fear of what others think.
And it supports you to reclaim your sovereignty, so you can speak with confident potency, even in the face of those who would disagree or seek to undermine you.
BE SEEN AS YOU ARE
The workshop will strengthen your connection with your deep knowing through guided writing and sharing practices. As you share the words that live deep inside you, and witness how they touch others, you feel the resonance of your own truth more clearly.
Speaking your writing to the group is an essential part of this workshop, in ways that feel right for you.
You will be invited to step forward, be seen, witnessed and celebrated as you share from your fullness and your wholeness. Owning both your powerful self and your vulnerable self - knowing that all parts of you are welcome.
Experience the transformative magic of meeting others in authentic presence to open a space of soul-to-soul connection. Together we forge a new culture of rising, shining and celebrating each otherâs unique brilliance.
This work expands your capacity to:
- Remember who you are in your clearest moments, and anchor that into word-medicine you can carry with you as a talisman, so you can access that expanded self in the fog of daily life.
- Stop spinning, caught up in the stories spun by the world, and begin to take the steady next steps that bring you closer to what feels true for you.
- Feel more confident to own all of your humanity, sharing your brilliance and imperfect edges without shame or hiding.
- Trust the beauty of your own words, allowing your unique expression to take up space unapologetically.

"I HAVE THE CONFIDENCE TO SPEAK UP FOR MYSELF NOW, TO SAY WHEN A BOUNDARY HAS BEEN CROSSED."
"Working with my poem was really powerful and felt incredibly sacred. It brought me a deep intuitive sensing, beneath the mental to more feeling, discovering and knowing. Working with Rionach released blocks within me that kept me stuck for years, but it felt like such a safe space. It transformed my visibility issues. I found myself volunteering to talk about my work, which I would never have done before."
Judith Salentijn, Netherlands
"IâM OKAY TO BE VISIBLE NOW, IN ALL MY DIFFERENT FACETS."
I had no idea poems could rewire our brain and emotions with such grace. It was an incredibly transformative experience and actually changed my posture! It gave me the confidence to commit to sharing my gifts. I feel so calm and have a real sense of being me."
Fra Panella, UK
"Working with Rionach, I experienced a huge clearing of ancestral blocks that kept me in hiding. This work melted the walls around my heart. I felt the power within me and saw that people really want to listen to what I have to say! Before I didn't feel safe. Now I can drop into my heart and radiate from there. Such a gift!"
Sandra von Schmeling, Germany
"Working with Rionach helped me to melt a frozen trauma wall and let go of a lot of armoring and protection. I felt really safe throughout this vulnerable process, which was really important for me."
Cynthia McGrath, USA
"IT BUILT GRADUALLY IN SMALL STEPS, WHICH FELT SAFE BUT OPENED UP HUGE PARTS OF ME."
"I was scared at first, but the group was such a safe space. Now I can focus less on what words I should use, and know the right things will flow from me. IÂ have a sense of protection I didn't have before. I feel liberated being all of me and Iâm now bringing all pieces of me into my work."
Marloes Nierop, Netherlands
"I WAS SO AFRAID OF MY GREATNESS, TO FILL UP WITH ME. THIS IS WHO I REALLY AM. LIVING MY FULL SIZE!"
"The most transformational part for me was to stand up in front of an audience and say out loud: âI'm a woman, phenomenally!â Every time I did, it got more powerful. I was brought up hearing: âDon't be tall, don't be your full size.â Working with Rionach helped me to stand in my truth and become even more visible with that."
Levina Kaarsemaker, Netherlands
"I FEEL A DEEPER PRESENCE OF MY SOUL THAT'S CONSTANTLY FLOWING THROUGH ME."
"Working with Rionach helped me to feel my own energy and begin to love and honour myself, which has been my hardest life lesson. It was a pivotal moment that supported me to begin a new chapter. I resigned my job and got a new one that allowed me to train as an acupuncturist. I now help people to find healing poems. I'm infinitely grateful to be walking my talk. It's rippling out to so many people."
Simeon Bridge, UK
"IâM SHOWING UP IN WAYS I NEVER DID BEFORE, IN FACEBOOK GROUPS, ON CAMERA, DOING LIVES AND INTERVIEWS."
"I was lacking confidence around who I was here to serve, what my message was and speaking on camera. Now I own the fact I am a transformational artist, leader and visionary. I feel clear in my message, more relaxed in my nervous system, more anchored in my body and rooted in my purpose. After being in hiding for two years I made my first offer and got it out there."
Jenny Kiely, Ireland
