After a long winter, it’s hard not to love the fresh energy of spring. Life is emerging everywhere and the landscape around us transforms with blossoms, new leaves and vibrant spring flowers.

Right now, our peach tree is laden with juicy, sun-ripened fruit—a welcome sight especially after guarding the young blossoms from the frost. Peaches aren’t just delicious—they’re medicine, beauty, and joy all wrapped into one soft, golden package. A Gift from Nature Peaches (Prunus persica) have long been revered in both Ayurvedic and Western herbal medicine for their cooling, moistening, and calming […]

Our wildflower meadow is absolutely gorgeous at the moment – thick with yarrow (achillea millefolium) & common knapweed,(Centaurea nigra) and absolutely buzzing with life! This field has been left to rewild for the past 4 years (after years of cattle & horse grazing), and the transformation has been incredible. All the meadow flowers you see are naturally occurring, and the biodiversity here […]

In recent years, many people have been able to see for themselves the great benefits of rediscovering the ancient knowledge of lunar rhythms. The books by Johanna Paungger-Poppe and Thomas Poppe have now reached a circulation of over 20 million and have been translated into 31 languages. They are a household name in the German-speaking world. In Austria, Switzerland, Germany and Northern Italy there’s virtually no doctor, osteopath, natural healer, hairdresser, wood merchant, who doesn’t know about their books, many of them using these as reference works. This will be their first public appearance in Ireland. Further info: www.paungger-poppe.com

For many years we have been yearning to grow our own food for both ourselves and the students attending our courses & workshops. This was one of our best years for growing our own food and it has been great to share the abundance with our students.

Since the beginning of Spring we have been busy improving the surroundings of Satmya, we got new wooden signage, outdoor seating and we have been busy in the polytunnel getting seedlings ready to plant out around the business.

We wanted our building to be in harmony with the locale – rural county Clare. The design is similar to that of traditional Irish buildings, so it perfectly blends in the surrounding landscape. However, the orientation and the layout stray far from Irish tradition. We used Vastu shastra (the Indian Feng Shui), which loosely translates as the teaching or doctrine of dwelling.
