WELCOME TO
HUMMINGBIRD ART + MEDITATION CENTER
An Art + Meditation Center for kids & adults to ignite your joy, express your soul & make magic.
Welcome to my little haven of enchantment in the historic Collis Sandes in Tralee County Kerry. I have an array of classes and workshops running throughout the year all designed to bring more creativity and magic into your life.
From meditation circles to clear the mind and tap into your intuition, to art classes to start expressing the true colour of your soul, as well as fun inspiring workshops around feminine mysteries, magic, fairies and all things elemental, there’s something for everyone (small and big kids alike!)
I truly believe in the power of art to transform our lives, the wonder of meditation to ease our chaotic minds and the joy of playing, dreaming and tapping into the magic all around us in nature.
I’m devoted to this beautiful land of Ireland I get to call home and bring her essence into so many of the classes and workshops I hold.
So check out the kids and/or adults section and class schedule below and let’s start filling your life with more vibrancy and joy than you ever thought possible!
Peace & Pottery
Peace & Pottery: A Morning of Movement & Making
Saturday, June 29th | 10am – 12:30pm
Collis Sandes House, Tralee
We’re delighted to invite you to Peace & Pottery — a gentle, joy-filled workshop with ceramicist Amy Smith and somatic movement guide Tricia O’Connor.
This nourishing morning blends mindful movement with hands-on creativity to help you unwind, reset, and reconnect with yourself.
🌿 What’s Included:
✨ Somatic Movement Practice
Ease into your Sunday with a soft, grounding session designed to bring your body back home. Somatic movement is a gentle, body-based practice that helps regulate your nervous system by releasing tension and restoring a sense of inner calm — perfect for easing out of the week and into yourself.
🎨 Paint Your Own Ceramic Bud Vase
Summer is blooming all around us — and what better way to celebrate than by creating your very own vase to hold the beauty? Amy will guide you through painting your own handmade ceramic bud vase, a vessel to bring the outside in. Working with clay is known to have a naturally calming and transformative effect on the nervous system — it brings us into the present moment in the most tactile, joyful way.
☕ Tea, Coffee & Connection
Between the two creative sessions, we’ll take a relaxing tea and coffee break to sip, chat, and soak in the serene surroundings of Collis Sandes House.
The Details
🕰️ 10am – 12:30pm
🧘♀️ One hour of somatic movement (guided by Tricia)
🎨 One hour of ceramic painting (led by Amy)
🍵 Tea/coffee break in between
📍 Held at the peaceful and beautiful Collis Sandes House
🎒 What to bring: yourself, a yoga mat, and a cozy blanket for comfort

SPRING Family Art Workshop
Imbolc Sunday Family Art Workshop Room 2 Collis Sandes House 11-1.30pm
Lets celebrate the arrival of Spring together with Art and Craft making that weaves together the stories of Brigid and Imbolc.
Art activity one Brid Ogs
Brid ogs are hand crafted dolls that both adults and children will make together. The brid ogs carries on a tradition that goes back thousands of years. The Brid og would be left on boats and in houses as a symbol of protection for the year a head.
Using the Brid ogs we will set postive intentions about what we want to see grow through Spring.
Art Activity 2 Lino Printing of Animals like Hares, foxes and salmon.
Brigid had many friendships with Animals and you’ll hear many stories of brigids adventures with these animals.
Lino printing is a syle of printmaking where you will carve your own image onto a lino block and then print onto paper with rollers.
This is fine art practice and you and your family will learn how to do this practice at home also.
Storytelling Activity
Listen to the story of the Brat bride which is bridgets muliti coloured cloak.
As the Cailleach’s cloak brought Winter, Brigids brat brought Spring.
Brigid decided to make her home in Kildare. She wished to build a convent there and set out to find the perfect site. Eventually, she found a place that would be ideal for her new convent. However, the land belonged to the King of Leinster.
Brigid met the King of Leinster and a band of horsemen returning from a hunt, she approached the king and told him she needed land. He asked her how much she needed, and Brigid replied that all she asked for was the amount her cloak would cover.
Amused by this strange request, the King agreed, and she laid her cloak on the ground. To his amazement, the cloak grew and spread until it covered the rich, green acres we know today as The Curragh of Kildare. This area is also known as St. Brigid's Pastures.
Whats included in your Family ticket
Your family ticket covers four people, that could be four kids, two adults and two kids, three adults and one child. All ages welcome. Whatever way you want to fill the four spaces is fine.

Samhain Workshop
Samhain Workshop
Slieve Mish Mountain from 6.30pm-7.30pm Tralee
Hello
Join me in celebrating Samhain, the witches new year on the Slieve Mish mountain.
The Slieve mish mountain is named after the original wild woman Mis
Mis took to the mountains in grief after her father, a king was murdered. She became half a woman and half an animal until she was coaxed down from the mountain by a young harp player.
Mis represents the dark feminine, the part of you that holds power, who is anchored to her inner authority and knowing.
She knows how to scry the stars, the earth and the soul. She holds a deep connection to the cycles of the moon and nature.
She’s is the witch, the mystic and the seer.
She’s the part of you that you deny and suppress’s her spiritual power, honesty and authenticity or fear it’ll get you kicked out of the tribe.
Being kicked out of the tribe isnt a concern for her, she has books to write, art to create, healing to do. She knows she is loved and is welcomed and respected by others like her.
Her presence is needed in communities, her enormous love is needed to guide people towards their hearts and gifts.
I hold rituals for people on this mountain when they are crossing the threshold into a new chapter of life. Mis lives deep in the mountain and will transmute all the pieces you need to let go of and she’ll recycle them back into love, magic, power and intuition.
On Samhain, which is also the new moon in scorpio we will hold a dark feminine ritual by the river on the mountain and we will welcome the new year and seed intentions for the Winter.
We will also be connected to the vibration of the dark, the water, the stones and the heather to attune to the constant healing presence of Mother Earth and Mis.
Its not going to be a trek up the mountain, we will be at the base of it.
It’ll be magical and fun as we embrace the darkest part of the year.
Mystic Masters Exhibition Culture Night
MYSTIC MASTERS EXHIBITION
I’m delighted to be launching my self published Mystic Masters Oracle Card deck on Culture night at Hummingbird Studio, Collis Sandes House Tralee. I will also be exhibiting the Mystic Master original pieces and holding free card readings.
The exhibtion launch of the Mystic Master oracle card deck will be 4-7pm and free cardings will be available from 6-10pm
These 22 characters presented themselves when the whole world was collectively preparing for a new chapter and a new way of being in their lives. It was during the 2020 lockdowns they came to assist anyone going through an awakening journey. Seemingly answering to those seeking purpose, and a deeper understanding of the innate gifts they came to earth with.
The cards are a powerful tool that can show you how to shape your gifts and talents, just like an artist crafting a masterpiece. It's all about embracing the opportunity to become the masterpiece you already are. Working with these cards allows you to hold more cosmic light and love in your heart, which accelerates transformation.
Each Master shares their wisdom with you, gathered over many centuries and throughout various societies. Some characters witnessed the rise and fall of empires, while other Masters originate from galaxies beyond. They teach spiritual authority and how to become the sovereign ruler of yourself and your life, bringing with them a sense of royalty and magic.
For example, the Kingfisher will remind you that "Real kingdoms are built with the heart at the center," and what it means to be a royal of the "New Age." Masters speak of concepts such as how to take pride in your work, and what it takes to be devoted to create your life of bliss.
All are disciplined in their practices, but do not scold. They provide tools and examples that assist you with your self-mastery. After all, a new way of being and showing up for yourself and the world brings the need for 'new' life skills. With this deck you will learn the skills to live the golden potential you innately own.
When you begin working with these Divine Masters, you'll notice they assist you at various levels in your life. The cards can support your life's work, your spiritual or artistic practices, and how you are living and creating. For example, to assist with your inner growth and expansion, helping you recognize what is awakening within, your potential and possibilities, and sometimes in balancing or clearing the past, all with a focus on becoming an authority in your own life.
Working with them will reveal knowledge of where you are on that path of birthing.
Or, to speak with the words of Lorenzo the Medici: “Once again, it is the dawning of a new age. This is a great time to be alive.”
