I’m really happy to share that starting in April, I’ll be bringing monthly sound sessions to Athenry community 💫
Today I visited the community centre and I have to say I was genuinely surprised by how wonderful the space is. The building is beautiful, the rooms are spacious and welcoming, and the facilities are really lovely. I was honestly a bit stunned by how much is happening there.
There are so many workshops, classes and activities taking place – for both children and adults – and it feels like such a vibrant place for the community.
If you’re looking for classes, workshops, or if you’re a practitioner or small business looking to rent a room, I highly recommend having a look at what they offer.
And of course, I’m very excited to start sharing sound sessions there once a month from April ✨
If anyone is curious about the space or would like more information, feel free to message me and I’ll happily pass your details on to Donna, who manages the centre.

A room full of people who had never experienced a sound bath before.
New faces. Open hearts. A little curiosity.
And then… stillness.
Some of you were softly snoring.
Some of you melted into the floor.
Some of you surrendered to the sound so deeply it felt like the room was breathing as one.
It was warm.
It was cosy.
It felt safe.
There is something very special about watching people trust the process for the first time.
About seeing bodies soften.
About feeling the sound carry everyone somewhere quieter inside themselves.
And I loved giving the sound.
Every bowl, every vibration, every pause — shared with intention.
Thank you for showing up.
Thank you for surrendering.
Thank you for letting me hold that space for you.
Until next time ✨

Step into a vibrant world of pink, purple and electric blue for a flower-powered evening designed to shift your mood and awaken your senses.
We begin with an optional blue lotus tea — an ancient botanical known for its gently relaxing, mood-softening qualities. It’s not about the flavour; it’s about the feeling — a symbolic sip to mark your transition into the journey.
You’ll then be guided through an immersive sound bath with crystal singing bowls and layered frequencies to help your nervous system unwind and your mind expand.
Expect colour.
Expect joy.
Expect softness.
Expect fragrance.
Wear florals or your brightest colours — let’s bloom. 💙💜🌸

I'm looking forward to this event💜

Six years ago, I sat on a wooden pier with my very first crystal singing bowl.
I had just completed my certification.
I thought I knew enough.
I thought I was ready to facilitate sound baths for groups.
That purple bowl was my first crystal bowl.
And I hated it.
It was so difficult to make it sound bearable.
It squeaked. It resisted. It exposed every bit of tension in my body.
The more I tried, the worse it sounded.
Crystal singing bowls reflect you.
They respond to your tension.
To your pressure.
To your fear.
To your need to prove.
They don’t lie.
And at that time, I didn’t fully understand that.
After a few weeks, I sold it.
I felt embarrassed.
I questioned myself.
I quietly wondered if maybe sound therapy was a mistake.
But what I understand now is this:
Crystal bowls do not respond to force.
They respond to relationship.
If there is no relationship between the therapist and the instrument, it will never truly work.
And if it doesn’t work for you, it won’t make a difference for the people listening.
People don’t respond to sound alone.
They respond to presence.
To intention.
To the invisible thread between the facilitator and the instrument.
Back then, I was trying to produce sound.
Now, I listen first.
Back then, I wanted it to be good.
Now, I want it to be true.
I stepped away for a year.
And when I returned, I returned softer.
Less attached to proving.
More willing to be taught.
Crystal singing bowls humbled me to the point where I genuinely thought this path was not for me.
But I stayed.
And I am not the same person now.
Today, when I hold space for groups across County Galway, I do it from a completely different place.
Not from ego.
Not from certification.
Not from performance.
From connection.
From respect.
From relationship.
When I look at this photo now, I don’t see someone who failed.
I see someone being shaped.
And to that version of me sitting on that pier, I would simply say:
Thank you for staying.
Thank you for coming back.
Thank you for not giving up.

✨ GORT — something beautiful is arriving✨
On March 20th at 5:45pm, the Community Centre will become a space of deep rest and resonance.
Soft light.
Mats laid out across the room.
Breath slowing.
Healing instruments filling the air with layered, grounding sound.
My name is Marta.
For the past five years, I have been holding immersive sound journeys for communities — developing my own unique way of working with sound and groups.
This is not background music.
This is an intentional, carefully guided experience.
A space to soften.
To regulate your nervous system.
To step out of the noise and into something steadier.
The room is spacious — I’ve opened 30 tickets to keep the experience comfortable and held.
If you’ve been feeling overstimulated, stretched, or simply in need of pause or simply curious…
this is your invitation.
March 20th
5:45–6:45pm
