This site, dancing the worlds, came about in 2005.I guess it was time for something like this to happen, it came about naturally and spontaneously. I had already spent many years training in various disciplines and practices. I had studied and practiced in the Nyminga tradition of Tibetan Buddism for many years and currently practice a form of Tibetan yoga from the Tibetan Bon tradition called Tsa Lung, along with a practice of healing sounds from this same tradition. Coming to the Bon tradition was an organic process after the death of my father when my connection with the Nyminga tradition came to a natural completion. I subsequently came to the Bon teachings through a book recommended to me by a friend called, Healing with form, energy and Light, in Shamanism, Tantra and Dzogchen by Tenzin Wangyl Rinpoche (thank you Jackini). The Bon tradition can be dated back to about 10,000 years. The primary focus in these traditions is Healing and through the study and practice of various disciplines over these past 18 years, I have witnessed an organic progression of healing abilities develop and continue to amaze me.
For over 15 years I have a Healing practice in Cork City. I have also in the past year and a half been drawn to South America, specifically Peru where I have been fortunate to work closely with Shamans and healers from the jungle ares of Iquitos to the Andes mountain around Cusco and Pisac. Please see the articles section on this site for some writings on my experiences.
Because of the interest and requests I have received over the years due to my work, I started, under the name of Dancing the Worlds, to give a series of Workshops and it continues to grow from there.
I am now offering healing trips to Peru, to the exhilarating mountain energies of the Andes to the more wild and untamed jungles where we will work with indigenous curanderos and shamans.
I hope in the not to distant future to offer healing journeys to the fascinating island of Kauai in Hawaii.
The term Shaman is often translated as "the walker between the worlds". I thought, well, why not dance.......
I was born in 1960, in Milltown, Co Kerry and qualified as a nurse in 1982 in Cork City, Ireland. In 1991 due to life upheavals I stopped nursing and began delving into the area of Holistic/complimentary health and spiritual understanding. These had been lifelong interests, but due to nursing demands and bringing up my two children this area had been somewhat, but not totally neglected. Now I began in earnest in the pursuit of a more spiritually fulfilling, whole experience of this wonderous mystery that is this life and to bring this magic home to my heart. Little did I realize what kind of a journey I was embarking on.
