There’s a part of you that was never tamed, never lost.
One that lives in the edges, peering out of the leaves with shy eyes.

Our wild edges have often been unwelcome or unseen.
Hidden or pushed away. Misunderstood or feared.

When we live in fear of our wildness,
we don’t feel at home in ourselves or our lives.

But when you invite in and befriend the magic of your wildness,
you recover a natural source of wisdom and power
that brings you home to your deepest knowing.

You can reclaim your natural essence,
the raw, unapologetic nature of you who are,
that liberates you from trying to be someone you’re not.

Your wild edges are potent.
They contain the gift of your beingness.
The unique seed of You that wants be nurtured into wholeness.
A blueprint that shows you the way home.

When you create space for your wildness,
learn to listen, let it guide you,
follow its unpredictable rhythms and unexpected pathways,
it will take you on a journey you can trust,
even when your destination is unknown.

Together, we'll create a container where you can:

  • Listen to your wild edges.
  • Allow your wild voice to be heard.
  • Be seen, held, and cherished for your natural essence.
  • Own your fierceness and your gentle power.
  • Come home to the wisdom of your wildness.

Your wildness is not all roars of rage
or dancing with abandon,
though they too are welcome.

It’s the You that’s too vast for words.
Your soft animal body. 
Your song from depth.
Your grief cry. 

It's your dance with wind.
Your kinship with tree, bird, stone or cat.
Knowing you come from ocean, rock + star.

It's your No. Your Yes.
Your not-knowing.
Your creative urges.
The mystery in your dreams.

The workshop will guide you through a powerful healing and expression process.

  1. Rediscover your unique wild edges, and heal relevant layers of personal, collective and ancestral wounding around that.
  2. Invite in your wildness through working with a companion poem & engaging directly with the wisdom of nature.
  3. Reconnect with your wild voice, the part of you who was never tamed, through deep writing and sharing practices.
  4. Be seen, witnessed and valued in your most tender and potent expression.

This helps you to melt frozen parts, see yourself more clearly and step into your fullness.

REDISCOVER YOUR WILD EDGES

Part of this work is learning to see your unique wildness, and how it wants to be nurtured and expressed at this time. You will be supported to gently melt fear and control. And re-root yourself in the dark and fertile soil of your being.

The wild wisdom of our group field will support you to bring to the surface the layers you're ready to release or re-integrate at this time. It knows what you need and how, together, we can heal the wounds of losing touch with our wildness - personal, collective, ancestral.

WORK WITH A POEM FRIEND & OTHER NATURE BEINGS

We will work with the wild words of holy poetry. Poems are postcards from the wild edges that open the door and invite wildness to visit. They entice your shy, untamed one to come closer and reveal their presence.

When you register, you'll receive RĂ­onach's ebook of 50 potent poems especially selected for Coming Home to your Wildness. Choose a poem, from this or any other source, infused with the vibrational medicine you need to invite in your wildness.

During the workshop, you’ll experience a simple, but potent, process of working with your poem. This goes deep fast to gently rewire your system on physical, mental, emotional and spiritual levels.

We will also work directly with nature through engaging with the beautiful re-wilded land of Isis Sofia (our workshop centre). The power of the ancient Vecht river nearby, and other magical ways of partnering with the wisdom of wildness, will support our work.

**Bring what you need to spend an hour or so outdoors in comfort.**

SPEAK YOUR WILD VOICE

Part of the workshop includes an invitation to step forward and speak your poem to the group, guided and supported every step of the way. We will also tap into your wild voice through deep writing and sharing circles.

Experience stepping forward, being seen, witnessed and celebrated as you allow your wild edges, your wholeness, to come home to you. Knowing that all parts of you are welcome - you can't get it wrong.

EXPERIENCE BEING SEEN

We lost our wildness through learning how to be in human community. And we can heal those wounds through letting our wild edges be safely witnessed in human community.

Throughout the workshop you will experience:

  • Become a loving witness to yourself and others, allowing your wildness to be seen and celebrated in all your untamed magnificence.
  • Experience the magic of meeting your deep wild self and sharing with others in a field of presence and connection.
  • Create a potent collective culture of celebrating each other’s gentle power and unique wild expressions.

"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." ~ Kurt Wright

MY STORY

Hi, I’m Ríonach (pronounced rhie-on-ock).

I’m a human being, with all the wonder, pain and wild mess that being human brings.

I was forged by bone-deep shyness. Poetry brought me home to my natural essence and to finally wanting to share my wild voice.

Now, as a poetry alchemist and soulful visibility guide, I bring deep clarity through helping people access their own wisdom and gentle power.

My childhood was spent running around the wilds of Ireland. I love wind and waves, sea-washed pebbles, rolling hills, and dancing leaves.

I’m learning to make ink and art from wild plants. And often talk to plant and stone people knowing they're alive with potent medicine.

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 tap into the wise, creative force of your wildness more often?

"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

"I’M 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

"I’M 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: ‘I'm a woman, phenomenally!’ Every time I did, it got more powerful. I was brought up hearing: ‘Don't be tall, don't be your full size.’ Working with Rionach helped me to stand in my truth and become even more visible with that."
