    In Deepening the Senses, we deepen our connection to the inner world and soul self. So often in our lives, due to difficult early childhood experiences, past limiting belief patterns, and intergenerational trauma, we can experience a disconnection from our authentic, embodied soul selves…

“We are all badly in need of the symbolic life. Only the symbolic life can express the need of the soul – the daily need of the soul.”

CARL GUSTAV JUNG

Eileen Sullivan

I grew up in Connemara, a wild and rugged landscape on the Atlantic coast of Ireland. Oscar Wilde famously said of the region ‘Connemara is a savage beauty’. I grew up in a small, rural Gaelic (Irish) speaking community where Gaelic is still spoken today in the homes of people living there.

My desire is to share with you a felt sense of that culture and spirit and, as a Psychotherapist, to support how that connection can nourish and guide you on your own personal development journey.

Upcoming Workshop

Awakening Bealtaine

Embracing Our Authentic Power - A Celebration of Gráinne Mhaol (or Grace O’Malley) – “Pirate Queen” of the Irish Seas.

Sunday, May 5th, 2024
9:00 am - 12:00 pm PST (Pacific Standard Time)
5:00 pm - 8:00 pm IST (Irish Standard Time)

Gráinne Mhaol is one of Ireland’s foremost heroines of the 16th century. She was a renowned seafarer and pirate who took to the high seas at age 11, a woman living an unconventional life, authentic to herself. We will explore how to embrace our inner power, wisdom, and intuition and how to cultivate a relationship in support of ‘the inner marriage’ of the masculine and feminine within. We will explore the affirmative energy of the fierce warrior within, build a healthy relationship with anger and begin to assert healthy boundaries.

  • “Gosh I feel very lucky and blessed. What a beautiful gathering. Soul nourishment. Thank you for your gentle holding of space and weaving wonderful Samhain magic. Thank you for the wonderful work that you do. All the magic of your in-person retreats was there. It was a special side step out of normal time into a soul healing space time. Go raibh míle maith agat."

    Participant of Deepening the Senses Online Gathering

  • "I spent the morning as I had wished for. To engage in company who are like minded and a facilitator who knows. You certainly delivered……well done. A rewarding and fulfilling experience that touches deeply with plenty of food for thought and action!"

    Participant of Deepening the Senses Online Gathering

  • "Thank you for such an enriching morning last Saturday. The benefits have stayed with me since. I loved the internal spark I felt upon listening to the stories you shared and sitting with the magical images of the Cailleach. I felt connected to an aliveness inside of me and found the morning with Eileen and the group complimented how more at home I feel during the autumn and early winter time. I experienced a lovely connection with Eileen’s way of holding the group, so warm, inclusive, open, respective, insightful, and informative. I have done very little group participation on zoom these past months, more from choice , as I have perceived it to be more of a stressor than a support to me. My experience of this morning felt supportive and nurturing. Thank you Eileen."

    Participant of Deepening the Senses Online Gathering

  • "It was a great morning. Great to gather together with other ladies to share our feelings, experiences, visions and of course to connect. I visualise the Cailleach zooming! It’s great to meet a facilitator who understands and knows. Many attributes for a truly fulfilling gathering …knowing the subject matter, topics, structure and delivery of them. I hope to attend the remaining yearly gathering to complete a yearly cycle of sorts."

    Participant of Deepening the Senses Online Gathering

  • "Thank you so much Eileen for a magical experience. I loved witnessing the sharing from the other women. There was so much wisdom in the circle. The slideshow with the images resonated beautifully. I found the pace perfect. I absolutely loved Eileen’s facilitation. I would describe her approach as warm, humorous, deeply compassionate, interested and knowledgeable. Thank you so much for such an enriching experience. I look forward to experiencing your magic again!"

    Participant of Deepening the Senses Online Gathering

  • "I really enjoyed meeting other people, and listening to their wisdom and experience. This was not something I had anticipated in advance but it really made me aware how starved I have been for human connection since COVID lockdown."

    Participant of Deepening the Senses Online Gathering

  • "Thank you Eileen for a heart soaring experience. It is still with me and I know I will carry it forward. Thank you for creating such a safe space for us all to calmly open our hearts and souls in the shared experience. It was truly wonderful. I loved the imagery and the presentation of images with your score of evocative music and thought provoking poetry and word. I think that was a really important part of the morning . The imagery was astounding. Eileen you are a special facilitator and so much more. Your gift of calm and really ‘seeing’ each of us individually even though we were at home was so powerful. You are magic! You carved a really warm and inviting space, albeit all of us behind our screens. I almost forgot that we were in that format. It transmitted and translated so seamlessly. You are the essence of presence and calm."

    Participant of Deepening the Senses Online Gathering

  • "Thank you so much for a very nourishing morning. I felt very present and able to use the space well. I experience something very powerful in the way you work with mythology, archetypes and Jungian psychology."

    Participant of Deepening the Senses Online Gathering

  • "Thank you so much for another morning of nourishment. I get so much from your retreats. You were born to do this work and you facilitate such a safe and kind space. I am very grateful to and for you. I loved every second of the morning."

    Participant of Deepening the Senses Online Gathering

  • "Thank you so much Eileen for a heart warming homing experience. Truly a gift."
