The Wisdom of Your Body - A Day with Hillary McBride

We are delighted to welcome internationally renowned psychologist, researcher, and author Dr. Hillary McBride to Ireland for a special workshop exploring embodiment, healing, and spirituality. This event is brought to you by ourselves, along with a consortium of practitioners interested in embodiment and keen to elevate Hillary’s work in the Island of Ireland.

Drawing on her celebrated books The Wisdom of Your Body and Holy Hurt, Hillary will guide us through a day of interactive, workshop-style experience blending teaching, reflection, and gentle embodied practices. Together, we will explore:

  • How to listen to our bodies as sources of wisdom and sacredness

  • The impact of faith and spirituality on our relationship with our bodies

  • What it means to tend to “holy hurt” — the wounds left by harmful or shaming faith experiences

  • Practical tools for cultivating wholeness in body, mind, and spirit

This workshop is for anyone curious about embodiment, longing for healing from spiritual wounds, or seeking to reimagine faith and spirituality in life-giving ways. Lunch and refreshments are also included in the ticket cost.
