Such an incredible evening with the multi talented John Boland from @getupadventuresdublin, for our Athionchollú Men’s Group.
With a truly powerful talk about his story with addiction and how the most dangerous thing a young man or grown man can have, is a reputation, that they try to live up to by masking their actual true self.
I’m so honoured that the men turned up tonight, and we managed to deepen our connection and common stuggles together as men in this world.
Thank you, lads! This was series no.6, and hopefully many, many more to come. I leave our sauna feeling 2 feet taller and full of hope ❤️
ALL IS WELL... see you soon..

Athionchollú Men’s Sauna tonight was so fulfilling! Thanks lads for coming. I’m buzzing here at home.
This was the 5th week of our guest speaker series.
Week 1: Pete from TIGH’N ALLUIS spoke about the Irish sauna history and the actual ‘Tigh'N Alluis’, which were used on our beautiful lands nearly 2000 years ago. About Pagan beliefs and rituals.
Week 2: We had our good friend Barry McDonagh, from @dare_response who spoke about anxiety and coping mechanisms. His best-selling book and his journey dealing with anxiety.
Week 3: We had Luke from @the_healing_forest who is also my pal and mentor. Luke has a way of going deep without even noticing, some skillset. Luke is a very experienced men’s space holder, who works with @thesacredsons and his own men’s group @woodsmen Watch out for his next one, not to be missed.
Week 4: We had Joe Garth from @medicineinthemovement. He spoke about consciousness, such an incredible talk. Joe works with the signs that are always around us and the balance of energies, masculine and feminine. Good pal of mine and an inspiration to me.
Week 5: Tonight myself, Karl and Barry held a Finnish Sauna Ritual for the lads, using what we learnt from our trip to Finland with @heritagesauna @sauna_akka . Such a beautiful experience. We brought the temple of the forest into the sauna using whisks, aromatherapy, meditation, and intention! Calling in our ancestors and spirit guides to help us heal.
Please get in touch if you would like to join our next sauna and special guest speaker.
I am really feeling so privileged that men are showing up and joining me for the much needed men’s work and the sacred space to share and be held by our brothers. Our Yurt is really something special, if I may say so myself 😂
Thanks to @glencullenadventurepark for having us.

Irish Sweathouses: An Ancient Tradition of Purification
Hidden in the landscapes of Ireland, sweathouses (Tigh’n Alluis) are remnants of an ancient healing tradition. These small stone structures, dating back centuries, were used for purification, healing, and spiritual renewal, much like Scandinavian saunas or Native American sweat lodges.
The Ritual of the Sweathouse:
People would heat stones inside the sweathouse to heat it up. The intense heat was believed to sweat out illness, toxins, and negative energy.
Many sweathouses were built near holy wells, streams, of ancient sites, emphasizing their role in spiritual and physical cleansing.
Used well into the 19th century, these sweat rituals were often communal, bringing people together to restore health, cure ailments, and rejuvenate the body.
The spirit of the Irish sweathouse lives on in contemporary saunas, hot stone therapies, and holistic healing practices.
