6 Week Lenten Journey
(Plus complimentary half day retreat)


You are warmly invited to walk this sacred path—a journey into the unfolding mystery of your life, held tenderly in the embrace of Christ’s unconditional love.
 

Together, we will tend the places within that long for healing, offering them compassion and care through a gentle weaving of contemplative practices, prayer, and insights from psychology and neuroscience. This Lenten Programme will be graced with guided meditation, scripture, poetry, music, and spacious silence - preparing us for the miracle of Easter.
 

We will explore themes such as healing attachment wounds, befriending the shadow, forgiveness and letting go, and intergenerational healing—all within the sacred rhythm of rest and renewal. Here, you are invited to soften, to breathe, and to be held in the tender gaze of Divine Love.
 

We look forward to journeying with you through this sacred season. 

Monday evenings, 23rd February—30th March 2026,
7.30p.m. - 9p.m. (via zoom)

 

Presented by Martina Lehane Sheehan & Friends of Ruah

These sessions will be recorded.

Cost: €120 (Full Package including half day retreat on Good Friday)

Comments From Participants

Sincere & heartfelt thanks to you both for the wonderful meditative spiritual enlightening evenings which you so kindly donated to us. 

I loved them.

A taste of Martina's poetry from her new book 'Rise Again - Towards A Horizon Of Hope

Tonight was beautiful! As usual Martina your input on the Gospel was outstanding - 'break it open' as you say - I love that phrase and now every Sunday's Gospel presents more potential than it ever did for me!

Lucinda, your presentation tonight was marvellous! How superbly you put that together - we were carried along in awe with the script and the visuals! And then the final song - so so lovely!

Better than a show in the theatre!

Thank you again for these last weeks. I'm really looking forward to the Lenten retreat!

The hard work you had done in the background was very obvious to us!
