In-Person Training Programmes
CRYSTAL THERAPEUTICS
Level 1 - 3 Training Programmes
Crystal healing is an ancient form of gentle, holistic, non-invasive natural healing that works with your body’s own inner healer to restore equilibrium to your whole BEing.
Our approach is not to teach 'crystal prescriptions' for general application - focus is placed on unique dynamic real time assessment of the individual as they present in each session, and establishing and treating the root of the issue. Through successfully treating the root cause, the symptoms will naturally cease to exist and the individual will experience relief.
Crystal compounds, chemistry, and homeopathic principles of the crystals we work are covered in our Advanced course, so as to encourage responsible and informed crystal therapy.
WILD MEDICINE MAKING YEAR
Herbal Apprenticeship Programme
Our herbal apprenticeship program is a hands on season by season adventure into the world of folk herbalism. The framework of this program is wild native medicinal herbs of Europe, Irish traditions and lore, and the Celtic Wheel of the Year. Our approach is rooted in relearning how we perceive health and illness, getting to know the herbs themselves, and developing a skillset in keen observation and awareness of the language of the body so that we can recognise 'conversations', patterns of disharmony, and imbalance. This provides a much more useful, practical, and holistic understanding of folk herbalism than simply learning to utilise herbs by matching them with illnesses.
Throughout this program you will come to understand the foundational properties by which herbs work, how the body's organs and systems respond to them, holistic assessment, and the art of using your senses, intellect, and intuition to perceive the physiological, energetic and etheric properties of herbs, and more.
This program is not just about herbalism though, it's much more than that. It's about a healthier greener way of living, personal development, self awareness, observation, service, and dreaming yourself into BEing. Throughout the year together, we not only speak about plant allies and their medicinal virtues and herbal lore, but also explore ways of fully integrating them into daily life.

biophilia mentorship
One to One Online Mentorship Programme
BIOPHILIA MENTORSHIP™
A year-long rite of passage, carried by wind and rooted in stone, shaped by the elements, the soul, and the old turning of the year.
BIOPHILIA Mentorship™ is an intimate, one-to-one online mentorship shaped by the Celtic Wheel of the Year and the lived experience of moving through it over time.
Across the eight seasonal thresholds – Samhain, Winter Solstice, Imbolc, Spring Equinox, Bealtaine, Summer Solstice, Lúnasa, and Autumn Equinox – the work follows the rhythm of the year as it is observed in the land, in the body, and in the patterns of a life. Each threshold brings its own elemental movement, archetypal presence, and field of experience, allowing a deeper awareness to form gradually through the year.
We meet once each month for a three-hour session, held through shared attention and the spoken word. Between meetings, simple, precise invitations bring the work into daily life so that it becomes lived rather than merely understood.
This is steady, relational work that supports a more grounded way of meeting change, decision-making, self-awareness, and the unfolding of your own life over time. It asks for consistency, attention, and a willingness to engage with what is present.
The mentorship is rooted in Irish cosmology and oral tradition, while remaining open and accessible regardless of where you live or what background you come from. You do not need prior knowledge of Irish tradition to enter the work. The rhythms we work with can be observed anywhere.
Only three places are offered each year, allowing the mentorship to remain direct, considered, and fully attended. This kind of sustained, one-to-one work over time is uncommon.
If you recognise yourself in this, the full mentorship page outlines the structure, approach, and application process in detail.
