New! Online Workshop & Course Series
Meeting the Gaelic Otherworld
Encountering the Numinous | Individuation & Ancestral Healing
This 6-course series is an immersion into ancestral deep time and the numinous — interweaving insights from Jungian depth psychology and psychotherapy with Irish mythology, folklore, and the living landscape and language of Ireland.
Rooted in Irish mythic and folkloric tradition, this work offers a slow, imaginal approach to inner life, healing, and meaning-making. Each course may be taken as a standalone experience or as part of the unfolding journey.
Each course may be taken as a standalone experience or as part of the full six-part journey.
An Invitation
In Irish folklore, the Otherworld is not separate from this one. It exists alongside the everyday — revealed through mist, music, dreams, threshold moments, and encounters that subtly alter perception. To meet the Otherworld is to enter a different way of knowing.
This series offers a mythopoetic and psychologically grounded space for reflection, inner listening, and symbolic exploration. Through story, image, ritual attention, and ancestral imagination, you are invited into a deeper relationship with inner life, meaning, and the numinous.
Rather than offering techniques or prescriptions, the work supports a slow unfolding — one that honours psyche, body, and soul, and invites presence, curiosity, and creative engagement with what emerges from within. Here, myth and folklore become a language of the psyche, offering orientation when life feels disoriented, fragmented, or disconnected from deeper meaning.
The work unfolds gently, inviting curiosity, reverence, and deepened presence.
The Otherworld, Individuation, and the Numinous
In this series, we explore Carl Jung’s concept of individuation and the role of the numinous in psychological transformation and trauma healing. We encounter ancestral ways of seeing and being in the world — what W. B. Yeats described as “the condition of quiet that is the condition of vision.”
We peer into the realm of the Aos Sí — often known as the “faeries” — approaching their imagery not literally, but archetypally. Through ritual attention and symbolic curiosity, we explore the transformative energies of the unconscious and the numinous as they live within our own inner world and daily life.
Rooted in Irish Myth & Ancestral Memory
This work is grounded in Irish mythology and folklore — not as story alone, but as a living language of the psyche. It unfolds as a visceral, visual meditation on Ireland and its indigenous wisdom, designed to stir the senses and awaken the imaginal life.
Through image, story, symbol, ritual attention, and embodied reflection, we engage the symbolic world to explore how the past continues to shape the present, what has been carried through lineage, and how unconscious patterns may be brought into awareness and gently transformed. Themes of loss and grief, rites of passage, initiation, and transformation are held as part of this inquiry.
In Meeting the Gaelic Otherworld, Irish myth, language, and folklore offer a way of encountering the numinous not as abstraction, but as lived inner experience.
The Shape of the Journey
Meeting the Gaelic Otherworld unfolds through six interconnected courses, each approaching the Otherworld from a distinct mythic and psychological perspective. This series is held as an evolving, living journey.
The work is shared through live, online international gatherings that invite collective presence, reflection, ritual attention, and imaginal exploration. Following each live gathering, the material becomes available as a self-paced online program, allowing participants to return in their own time and rhythm.
Each course includes an orientation to creating sanctuary — an intentional hearth-space that supports rhythm, safety, and presence. Courses may be taken individually or as part of the full six-part journey, together forming an imaginal and initiatory arc of individuation, ancestral healing, and symbolic deepening.
You are welcome to enter wherever you feel called.

FAQ
-
In depth psychology, every archetype carries both life-giving and shadow expressions. The Mother archetype can nurture, protect, and sustain — and it can also overwhelm, enmesh, or suffocate.
The term Mother Wound describes the impact of receiving physical care without consistent emotional attunement or support, a pattern often carried across generations.
This series explores the Mother archetype in both its light and shadow, inviting conscious engagement with how it shapes our inner lives, relationships, and sense of self.
-
This series may resonate if you experience chronic self-doubt, difficulty with boundaries, people-pleasing, or a sense of emotional responsibility for others. More detail about who this work is for is shared above.

The live workshops offer a shared, time-bound experience rooted in presence, dialogue, and community. They allow for collective reflection, witnessing, and the aliveness that emerges when we gather together in real time.
The courses translate this work into a carefully crafted, video-infused format that can be revisited and re-engaged with over time. You can move at your own pace, return to practices and teachings as needed, and begin whenever you feel called to enter the journey.
While the formats differ, the heart of the work remains the same. Both draw from mythology, poetry, and the ancient Gaelic Celtic world, and invite connection with the body and the deeper symbolic, soulful dimensions of the self.
