A 6-Month Journey into Karuṇā - a yogic concept of deep, embodied compassion. Radical compassion, if you will.
In a world that can often feel disconnected, and sometimes harsh, it takes real strength to remain open, to be kind, and to stay present with ourselves and each other. The ancient yogis were clearly onto something here!
Karuṇā is not passive. It is strong and soft at the same time. It asks us to meet ourselves and others with tenderness, especially in moments that feel uncomfortable or messy. It is the practice of softening without collapsing, and staying present without hardening.
In the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, compassion (karuṇā) is named as one of the core attitudes that steadies the mind and brings clarity (Yoga Sutra 1.33). It is not just a feeling, but a practice - something we cultivate again and again.
Karuṇā invites us to:
Stay with what is difficult rather than turning away
Respond with care rather than react from habit
Build a deeper sense of inner safety and resilience
This monthly in-person women’s circle will take place at Escapada Health, Dún Laoghaire, from 11am – 1pm, on the following dates:
Saturday, 11 July
Saturday, 8 August
Saturday, 12 September
Saturday, 3 October
Saturday, 14 November
Saturday, 5 December
Connect with the same group of women each month and share the journey with them.
Each gathering is a 2-hour circle and movement practice, where we’ll explore:
Embodied movement to build strength and ease (inside and out)
Meditation and breathwork
Reflection, visualisation, and story
Space for stillness, sharing, and connection
You’ll also receive supportive practices to carry you between circles, allowing the theme of Karuṇā to gently weave into your everyday life.
Optional access to a community group to share and connect with other women is also available.
This is a space for connection, restoration, and deep inner listening - a place to soften into compassion as something lived and felt.
