Mulvarra House, Bauck, Saint Mullins (2026)

06/03/2026

Gorgeous weather in St Mullins today, it feels like we have turned a corner on the rain and the cold of the last 6 weeks. Just in time for the Spring Equinox which happens on March 20th this year. This day when the day and night are of roughly equal duration marks a turning point in the upward climb of the sun into the sky, after the spring equinox the daylight hours start to outnumber the nightime.

In the modern Celtic wheel of the year, this time is named Ostara or Eostre after the Pagan goddesses of the same names, who were venerated by the Anglo Saxons and the Germanic tribes. While there is limited information available on these figures apart from a single mention in the 8th century history by Bede, there is a lot of evidence that the Old English term for Easter (Eastre) came from this word Eostre /Ostara.
We are going to be marking the occasion with another sauna breathwork session on the evening of the 20th March. You can find all of the details from the booking page on the mulvarra website - li k is in mulvarra bio

The march full moon was given different names in the Celtic tradition - the Seed Moon or sometimes the Wind or Plough Moon. In Old English it was know as the Lenten moon, as the start of Lent has always been measured from the preceding new moon.

A very Happy Lunar New Year. As the first new moon after the January full moon, this day would also have marked the first of Spring in the old Celtic calendar, which was a lunar calendar. Although we tend to celebrate Imbolc on the first of February which the Church also fixed as St Brigids day, this would not have been the way in Celtic societies. Imbolc was set by the new moon which this year, falls on the 17th. For the next full moon, on 4th March we have our next full moon breathwork and sauna session here in St Mullins. Booking is done though the Mulvarra website, click the link in our bio to get all the info and to book. Just a few places left so don't wait too long to book!

We have a handful of spots opened up for this weekend's Full Moon sauna breathwork sessions. These sessions are always about slowing down and using a strong connection to the natural rhythm of our breaths to achieve states of deep calm and relaxation.
The calendar we follow in scheduling the events is a different and much more natural way of marking time following another profound natural rhythm- the cycle of the moon. Since this was how the Celts most likely organised themselves, we are also connecting into some very powerful and ancient ways of experiencing time and the flowing of the seasons. The underlying principle is a reconnection to nature and to that which is most natural in us - our breath. This weekend allows us to weave all three strands of connection in a rare concurrence- the alignment of St Brigid days with the February full moon . St Brigid's Dayor Imbold to give it its older name was one of the old Celtic cross quarter days- the days which fell midway between the solstice and the equinox. Traditionally in Celtic societies as Imbolc or the official start of Spring. Join us to help mark this next turning of the wheel of the year. We start with a revitalising soak in the gorgeous and follow with a deeply relaxing breathwork session in our dedicated yoga studio, the Breathing Space. Rounding off the evening as a special treat we will have a yoga nidra practice in the studio. As this is a bank holiday weekend, to cater for demand we are running two sessions: one on the Saturday(31st January), and one on the Sunday(1st February).

Like the first two sessions in October and November, the theme of the evening will be sleep....

With Samhain around the corner, its worth mentioning that most of our knowledge of how the Celts drew up their calendar has been gleaned primarily from one source…
🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
Its hard to believe, but this image of a fragmented bronze calendar represents most of what we know about the Celtic way of measuring time. Called the Coligny Calendar after the region of France where it was found in 1897, it maps out a period of five years divided into months of between 29 and 30 days. Significantly it differs from most of the other calendars found from that period in the classical civilisations in one key respect - it is a lunar calendar, following the phases of the moon. Samhain - or Mid (month) Samoni in Gaulish, has a prominent position on the calendar and may have marked the start of the Celtic year
🌓🌓🌓🌓
We will delve a little more into what has been learned from the Coligny calendar in our next couple of posts. This time leading up to and around Samhain is a magical time, if we allow ourselves permission to look beyond the surface level, we can uncover some profound truths about our connections to the more than human world.

*****Full Moon Sauna and Breathwork Autumn and Winter series starts in St Mullins next Wednesday with … Sleep Lab - Pt 1! *****
We are so excited to announce the first of a series of new monthly events starting here in St Mullins. This will be our second collaboration with the lovely lads and lassies from after a really fantastic summer series of outdoor yoga and sauna which ran from May, and finished last weekend.
For the Autumn and Winter months we are changing the format to a monthly event which gives us more scope for really focusing in some detail on major issues to do with health and wellness. While the core programme will be consistent throughout the Autumn and Winter months – sauna and breathwork, each event will have a unique focus. For our first two events, the theme and focus will be ….sleep.

So, next Wednesday evening, we start at 7pm with a with a 50 minute sauna in the gorgeous Heron Sauna on the river in St Mullins ( cold plunges are an optional activity for the hardy souls among the group).
After the sauna we can either walk (5 minutes) or drive up to the fabulously cosy studio here at Mulvarra House for the breathwork/relaxation part of the evening. We will start off by looking at the science behind sleep and why it is so vitally important in our lives. Then we will look at some of the most common issues which can have a damaging effect on our sleep patterns. We will then examine some very simple but effective breathwork techniques which have a proven track record in combating some of these common sleep issues.

Prebooking is essential and done through the Mulvarra website to book the whole session ( link in bio). Directions will be included in confirmation email when you book. Places are already booking quickly for this so don't wait too long to book this one. More info in the comments below.
