Good To Go Northern Ireland

Ann Ward, founder of Xhale has a deep spiritual connection with nature.

 

She inherited her great love of the landscape from her mother, whose birthplace was on the volcanic mountain of Slieve Gullion, nestled in between a number of sacred sites.

 

Ann has practiced meditation for over 20 years. As a result she has created immersive,mindfulness experiences, courses and retreats using the gifts of meditation and the landscape.

  • Good for the soul

    It was a truly beautiful day – good for the mind and soul’

  • Magical

    It is impossible to single out any one thing as it was the complete package that made the day so magical.

  • Transformative

    "I can’t thank Ann enough for introducing me to this transformative and fulfilling way of living life."

  • Focus

    ‘I found the practice of using mantras useful because it helped me to focus’.

  • A Haven

    ‘Slieve Gullion is a haven and was the perfect place for this day retreat. It was an additional bonus that Ann provided a wealth of knowledge about the landscape which enhanced the beautiful guided walk’.

  • Perspective

    ‘Ann's lunchtime meditation sessions really helped me gain perspective during a stressful period at work and provided a warm and welcoming space for work colleagues to share time with each other and relax.’
