WELCOME TO

 HUMMINGBIRD STUDIO

An Art + Meditation Studio 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!

Energy Healing for Kids and Adults

Awaken Calm, Confidence & Connection Through Energy Healing ✨

Are you or your child feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or disconnected?
My healing sessions are a gentle yet powerful way to restore peace, balance, and self-trust — helping you return to the natural flow of your soul.

I offer hands-on energy healing that channels a radiant current of light through the body — soothing the nervous system, releasing emotional tension, and awakening your inner strength.
Blending Integrated Energy Therapy, Belvaspata Healing, Mediumship, Meditation, and Somatic Movement, each session is uniquely guided by the energy and needs of your body and spirit.

🌿 For Children:
These sessions are especially nurturing for children with ADHD, autism or additional needs, as well as sensitive, soul-led kids who feel deeply connected to nature. The healing helps them feel calm, grounded and confident, supporting emotional regulation, focus, and self-esteem.

💗 For Adults:
Energy healing offers a space to heal the heart after breakups or emotional pain, release self-doubt, and reconnect to your true purpose. Many adults describe feeling lighter, more peaceful and more in tune with their soul and nature ready to step into a new chapter with confidence and clarity.

Each session is a sacred experience — an invitation to return home to yourself.
Whether you or your child are seeking calm, confidence, or deeper meaning, this work will help you realign with the light within.

✨ Come experience the transformation of energy healing — where calm is restored, hearts are healed, and your true essence shines through.

FREE EVENT Nature And ART OUTDOORS

🌿 Nature and Art OUTDOORS: GET A TASTER FOR OUR SEPTEMBER NATURE INSIDE + OUT AFTER SCHOOL CLUB

SIGN UP FOR FREE EVENT AT THE FORM BELOW!

A Six-Week After-School Club Rooted in Play, Nature & Creativity
Tuesdays | 3:30 PM – 5 PM
For children aged 4–10 | Led by Artist Tricia & Therapeutic Play Practitioner Rachel Worthington.

Join us for a nourishing six-week after-school journey where we gently bring the magic of nature indoors—and head out into the woods whenever the weather allows.

Nature Inside & Out is a slow-paced, grounding and joy-filled club for children aged 4–10, designed to help them unwind after the school day and reconnect to themselves through creative nature-based play.

Each session is a soft landing after a busy day, a space where children can just be. Together, we’ll explore nature through the senses, make beautiful things with our hands, and follow the natural flow of the afternoon, whether that means sand tray therapy, weaving with willow, or sitting quietly listening to the birds.

If the weather is kind, we’ll spend part of each session in the woods—building willow tipis, making mini habitats, noticing seasonal changes or simply lying back and listening to the wind in the trees. Inside, we’ll continue the magic with art practices that might include visual Art, crafts, natural painting, mandala-making, or crafting with gathered treasures.

At the heart of it all is a sense of freedom, connection, and deep acceptance. There’s no pressure to perform or "do it right" just space to explore, create and be fully themselves. With a therapeutic play practitioner supporting each session, we hold space gently for children’s feelings, friendships and unique ways of engaging.

🌼 What the Sessions Look Like:

  • Nature-Based Exploration – indoors and out: from woodland wanders and sensory games to nature listening and sand tray therapy

  • Art & Making – creative sessions using natural materials: painting, weaving, clay, storytelling through art, and more

  • Time in the Woods (weather permitting) – building tipis, collecting treasures, grounding play and imaginative freedom under the trees

  • Calm, Grounded Transitions – soft rhythms that help kids decompress and shift gears after a structured school day

  • Child-Led Flow some days are lively and muddy, some are quiet and dreamy and all are welcome

🍃 Why Families Love It:

  • Freedom to Be Themselves – every child is accepted exactly as they are, with no pressure or expectations

  • Friendship & Bonding – shared play, trust and creativity help children connect in gentle and joyful ways

  • Supports Emotional Wellbeing – nature, play and creativity offer grounding, soothing tools for big feelings

  • Fuels Imagination & Curiosity open ended play invites wonder and creative exploration

  • Nurtures the Whole Child – emotionally, socially, creatively and spiritually

  • Held with Care – by facilitators who are experienced, compassionate and deeply child-centered

This isn’t just an after-school club—it’s a weekly exhale, a little wild freedom, and a creative nurturing space for your child to feel safe, seen and inspired.

SPRING Family Art Workshop
Feb

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.
