September is a busy time of year.

That means it’s the ideal time to forward plan a little time for self-care and a group of Cork wellness experts have come up with just the thing.

A heart-centred afternoon of movement, connection, and community will take place at Collective Cork, Tobin Street, in support of Nasc Gaza, a women-led initiative providing direct aid to families in Gaza, on Saturday, September 27th. 

The event runs from 3:30pm to 6pm and all proceeds go toward essential resources like clean water, meals, medication, and transport for those most in need.

• Yoga with Aileen – Gentle movement to ground and energise
  Aileen Ferris is a yoga teacher who holds space with compassion and care. Her visit to Palestine in 2018 made her acutely aware of the resilience in communities facing hardship, and inspired her commitment to embodied solidarity through healing practices.

• Laughter Games with Jimmy – Light-hearted play to lift spirits
  Jimmy has over 15 years’ experience teaching and performing circus arts and general silliness. His time working in refugee camps in Greece with Clowns Without Borders left a lasting impression, where he witnessed how laughter could cut through trauma and create moments of joy and connection in the harshest conditions.

• Snacks & Chats – Nourishment and connection

• Yoga Nidra with Aileen – Deep rest and guided meditation

• Opening & Closing Circles – Intentional space to arrive and reflect

“Whether you’re new to yoga or simply seeking a meaningful way to contribute, this event welcomes all.” say the organisers.
