Are you yearning to deepen your connection with nature? Look no further!
Our mission is to connect you to nature in an easy and accessible way. A good way to do this is by going on a forest bathing walk, or come to one of our nature connection retreats.
We realise live events can take up a lot of your time, might be planned on days that don’t suit you, or can be expensive. With our DIY Nature Connection products, we’ve got you covered. Have a browse around our shop.

Christmas Party for
Small Business Owners
19.00 - 22.00
The Burnaby, Greystones

For many freelancers and small business owners, the end-of-year office party doesn’t happen. Simply because there’s no office and no colleagues to celebrate with. As a solo entrepreneur you are the team, which means missing out on the classic Christmas party experience. This year, that’s all about to change. Orlagh and Cat from Beneath the Canopy are lighting up the holiday season by bringing small business owners together to celebrate 2025; the wins, the challenges, and everything in between. So, dust off the Christmas jumper, get ready to raise a glass, and join us on Thursday the 27th of November from 7 PM at The Burnaby Pub in Greystones for a night of connection, laughter and festive fun!
Whether you’re a freelancer, small business owner, or creative independent, this is your invitation to celebrate the end of the year with kindred spirits. We’re celebrating early in the season, at the end of November, because a lot of creative entrepreneurs are very busy in December with Christmas markets and end of year orders.

Winter Solstice Nature & Sauna Retreat

The GAP, Glencullen
€65 (early bird)
Embrace the magic of the Winter Solstice and join Orlagh and Cat for a soul-nourishing celebration of the shortest day and the turning of the light.
We'll begin with a gentle nature connection walk, attuning our senses to the hush and wonder of winter’s landscape. We will let our creative juices flow during a journaling and poetry workshop, where we will reflect on the end of the year with insight, memory, and imagination. We will sip wild-foraged teas in a mindful tasting ritual that awakens the body and spirit.
And finally, while the light fades, we melt into the heath of the Tigh 'N Alluis yurt-sauna. Letting the warmth carry away the old and welcome the new.
This is a day to honour stillness, celebrate renewal, and kindle your inner light. At the end of the day you will feel restored, inspired, and deeply connected.
