Aoife Valley Donegal

Aoife Valley Donegal is an artist, writer, and meditation teacher based on the northwest coast of Ireland. Her work celebrates the natural world and soul-centered living. Aoife has taught thousands of people mindfulness meditation in the past few years. In 2017 she wants to set up a new honeybee sanctuary that will also hold residential meditation retreats.

For over 25 years I have been an independent workshop leader in the fields of nonviolence and community arts, helping people, young and old, reconnect with creativity and compassion. For 10 years I have taught body-awareness mindfulness meditation to thousands of people in groups and 1-1. More recently I have been studying body/mind healing through the nourishment and detoxification protocols of Medical Medium.

Nature-connection and meditation retreats of up to eight people will be held in the Spring, Summer, and Autumn months. A secluded, off-grid wooden hut will be available to experienced meditators for silent personal retreat throughout the year.

An organic garden and orchard will provide fresh vegetables, herbs, and fruit. All planting will be of benefit to the health of humans, bees, soil and all wildlife. The food served at Wee Owl will be vegetarian, organic, dairy & gluten-free, and will include juices, cultured foods, and wild foraging.

I have been an intuitive healer since I was a child and strengthened my awareness and compassion on over 20,000 hours of a silent retreat in Buddhist monasteries and retreat centers. My daily meditation practice and reverence for God and Mother Earth are the ground on which I stand.
