A special candlelit evening designed to help women slow down, rest and reconnect with themselves is happening in Cork this weekend.
Sanctuary, a calming ritual-style gathering for women, will take place at Cork Lotus Yoga on Sunday, March 15th from 6.30pm to 8pm.
Hosted by facilitator Fiona Loughran, aka The Embodied Mystic, the intimate event promises a peaceful, low-light space where attendees can unwind and reset their nervous systems through gentle movement and restorative practices.
The evening will include somatic exercises, restorative breathwork, yoga nidra and a sound journey, all designed to help participants slow down and reconnect with their bodies. Guests will also be invited to take part in a quiet ritual element, with barefoot grounding, candlelight, warm tea and sweet treats adding to the cosy and nurturing atmosphere.

Described as a “sensual, embodied sanctuary,” the gathering aims to create space for women who feel they have been carrying too much and simply need a moment to exhale.
Fiona says the evening is about allowing women to step out of the rush of everyday life and “rest inside themselves”.
“It’s a nervous system reset and a moment of feminine restoration,” she explains.
With limited spaces available to keep the experience intimate, organisers are encouraging anyone curious about the practice to book early.
Tickets and further details are available through Instagram via Fiona’s page or the Cork Lotus Yoga account.
