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!

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.
