With Ailsa Keppie RMT, SSE
Many women were never taught how to care for their breasts beyond medical screening. Yet the breasts play an important role in circulation, lymphatic health, and our relationship with the heart space of the body.
Join us for a gentle two-hour women’s circle where we will explore simple breast-care practices, including lymphatic awareness, self-massage, and ways to reconnect with the natural wisdom of the body.
This workshop offers a warm, respectful space to learn practical tools for self-care while deepening appreciation for the body we live in. These practices can be especially supportive for maintaining breast health and vitality through all stages of a woman’s life.
Participants will leave with a simple 10-minute breast-care routine they can continue at home.
✨ All women welcome
📍 Our Celtic Hearth
⏳ 2 hours
Spaces are limited to keep the group intimate.
All practices are taught as self-care and self-touch only, and participants may adapt or opt out at any time.

A Year of Celtic Wisdom and Embodied Renewal
Through the four fire festivals of the Celtic year, we trace the eternal dance of creation and transformation. Each retreat — Brigid’s Blessing, The May Queen’s Garland, Lugh’s Harvest, and The Morrígan’s Mystery — offers a portal into the elemental forces of life. As we move with the seasons, we learn to tend our inner flame, celebrate love and abundance, offer our gifts, and surrender to the wisdom of endings.
