How about some work- life balance…. While enjoying a lovely weekend filled with a stellar line-up of live music and performances, inspiring talks and demos, creative workshops, somatic, shamanic, and ta***ic practices, mindful movement, breathwork, dance, and so much more, all wrapped in a blanket of spaciousness to allow preparation and integration, this is more than just a festival - it is a portal, an opportunity to catapult and catalyse, to be held and to let go.

My daughter Jenn from Coast Wellness has curated this truly beautiful substance-free wellness festival in Collooney Co Sligo

Wild & Well offers an immersive experience with on-site camping available from Friday until Monday September 4-6th
All workshops, performances, and talks are included in your festival ticket. Food vendors will be serving nourishing bites and delicious non-alcoholic drinks throughout the weekend, and our community market is the perfect place to support local businesses with beautiful offerings.
The sauna will be hot and ready for you to warm your bones with weekend or drop-in passes available.
The heart of Wild & Well is the sacred fire, tended to with love throughout the entire weekend, where you can stop for a cup of tea and a chat any time you desire.

I never experienced anything like this until Jenn hosted this beautiful festival in 2023. In its 4th year I thought I might share here as I truly believe this work life balance is critical.

Jenn has also shared a discount code which can be used for ticket purchase this week. The code is BEWILD

Ticket sales are critical for sustainability of these small community festivals as we are all aware.
Please share with your network and friends as you see fit.

Experience holistic wellness and vibrant community at Wild & Well Festival in Sligo, featuring performances, workshops, and sacred play in a substance-free environment.

Dr. Mary Massery is coming back, live.

40 years of clinical practice. Over 1,000 lectures across 50 US states and 18 countries. The Florence Kendall Practice Award, the APTA's highest clinical honour. And 90 minutes where the agenda is yours.

This is an Ask-the-Expert workshop on posture, breathing, and how body systems connect in real kids. Not a lecture. No slide deck. Mary opens with 30 minutes on the clinical concepts, then the floor is open for your questions, the ones that come up when you are back in the clinic and the plan on paper is not matching the child in front of you.

Airway, reflux, continence, posture. Mary treats them as one connected system, because they are.

🗓 Wednesday July 29, 6:00pm US Eastern / Thursday July 30, 10:00am NZ
🎟 $47, full replay included for anyone who can't make it live
🎁 Ticket unlocks 2 months inside CEO if you decide to keep going

Our Hybrid Clinical Training Program related to our Human Centred Approach to 24 hour-postural support, pressure care and related functions is being so well received by clinicians all over Ireland and UK
This blended program includes ~ 5 hours of pre-recorded webinar modules PLUS 2-days face-to-face Hands-On Training.
The feedback repeatedly highlights how the in-person Hands-on training days is changing the way clinicians approach the postural presentations they are seeing daily in their clinical practices.
Examples of recent feedback:
"This for me was the best part and will have a huge impact on my clinical practice, we spent so much time hands-on that I am walking away with practiced skills rather than just an idea of what to do (most other courses demo and give minimum practices)"
"Definitely the most efficient and excellent training I’ve ever done. Jenn had a fantastic way of explaining and ensuring our understanding -The structure to the assessment"

Our June training is sold out. Our July dates have some remaining spots with the early bird discount available until June 12th.
