We have a deep longing to be seen.
But being seen is scary work.
The pain of not being seen runs deep.
When youâre not seen, heard, or met in the ways youâd like to be,
a part of you can shut down, shut up, shut the door, walk away.
Itâs easy to think: Why bother? No oneâs interested.
Iâm not wanted. Itâs not safe.
Yet being seen, in all your beauty, fullness and wobbly imperfections,
can feel even more scary than remaining in hiding.
Itâs a lot to let in.
It may change how you see yourself.
Open you to new possibilities,
new ways of relating to yourself and others.
Challenge the parts that want to keep you small and safe.
These parts are old. Sometimes older than you are.
Together, weâll create a container where you can stretch your edges to:
- see and cherish yourself, in all your fullness and wholeness.
- be seen, held, witnessed and celebrated for your very beingness.
- listen to and express your soulful voice, in deeply human ways.
- turn down the volume on your inner and outer critics.
Held by the magic of poetry and music, of prayers and loving guides, inside a wise energy field that knows exactly what you need, peel away the layers that are ready leave at this time.
No pushing, only gentle melting. Step by tender step.
Weâll heal personal, collective and ancestral layers of not being seen.
Weâll see ourselves and each other with a clarity
that remedies the distorted image we see in the mirror.
When you are seen, expressed and received in your fullness,
new possibilities open up.
You have a clearer sense of what to say Yes to,
and what to say No to.
Because you have a clearer sense of what brings you alive,
of the You that longs to be lived fully at this time.
The workshop will guide you through a powerful healing and expression process.
- Heal wounds of not being seen, layer by gentle organic layer, from personal, collective and ancestral levels.
- Tap into the wisdom of your heart and soul through working with a companion poem.
- Reconnect with your Wild Voice, the part of you who was never tamed.
- Be seen, witnessed and valued in your deepest expression.
This helps you to melt your frozen parts, own your truth and step into your fullness.
HEAL THE WOUNDS OFÂ NOT BEING SEEN
The wisdom of our group field will support you to bring to the surface the layers that you're ready to heal at this time. You'll be gently guided through deep energy-work processes to melt frozen parts, release projections and heal ancestral pain.
WORK WITH A COMPANION POEM
When you register, you'll receive RĂonach's carefully chosen selection, Poems for our Seen workshop, packed with potent poems to shift your energy. Choose a poem, from this or any other source, infused with the vibrational medicine you need at this time.Â
During the workshop, you will experience a unique process of working with your poem. This goes deep fast and gently rewires your system on physical, mental, emotional and spiritual levels.
SPEAK FROM YOUR SOUL
Part of the workshop includes an invitation to speak some or all of your poem to the group, guided and supported every step of the way.
Experience stepping forward, being seen, witnessed and celebrated as you share from your fullness and your wholeness. Perfectly imperfect and beautiful, you can't get anything wrong. All parts of you are welcome.
EXPERIENCE BEING SEEN
Our wounds of being seen were formed in relationship with others and are healed in relationship with others.
Throughout the workshop you will experience:Â
- Become a loving witness to yourself and others, being seen and celebrated as who you are in your magnificent and messy humanness.
- Experience the magic of meeting your deep self and sharing with others in a field of presence and connection.
- Create a potent collective culture of celebrating each otherâs gentle power and unique brilliance.
"As a human being, we cannot accept a part of ourselves that we haven't shared with another human being and had validated, rather than violated." ~Â Kurt Wright
MY STORY
Hi, Iâm RĂonach (pronounced rhie-on-ock).
Iâm a human being, with all the ache and awe that being human brings.
I was forged by bone-deep shyness. Poetry opened me to my soul essence and to finally wanting to share my voice.
Now, as a poet, speaker and transformation leader, sharing from depths is my soul medicine.
As an energy-sensitive and seer, I help people shift energy patterns from personal, collective, ancestral and soul levels.
I hold space for the journey of becoming seen, known and expressed as the unique essence you are.
What would change in your world, and in our world, if you could see yourself and be seen in all your power and human beauty?

"I WANTED TO OVERCOME MY FREEZE RESPONSE SO I COULD SHOW UP CONSISTENTLY."
"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, Qigong Teacher, Germany
"IT COMPLETELY CHANGED HOW I FEEL AROUND PUTTING MY WORK OUT THERE AND BEING SEEN."
"I'm speaking out more and feel ready to share my work. I was never into poetry, but this truly alchemical work with Rionach was a revelation. Affirmations never worked for me, but the right line of the poem comes to me at the right time, like a mantra. "
Valerie Collins, author and mentor, Spain
"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, Intuitive Artist & Transformative Coach, Ireland
"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, Belonging Coach, UK
"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, nurse and essence practitioner, UK
"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 - Isis Sofia retreat centre, Netherlands
