Ruah Rest Reflections

Beginning on Sunday 28th July we are commencing FREE weekly short video reflections to help us find and reclaim the 'Soul of Sabbath' and to help resource us a little for the week ahead.  These reflections will be available to view each Sunday on our website ruahrest.com and on our Facebook page @martina lehane sheehan.


Beannachtaí Prayer Pod

As a lot of you know, we have a prayer pod here on the grounds.  The extending of Blessings and holding intentions is all part of the spirit of Ruah, so you are welcome to send your intentions, where they will be held in prayer each evening.

To submit your intention email info@ruahrest.com

Spiritual Direction

Sharing our faith journey has long been part of the Christian tradition, Ruah offers on line spiritual direction and directed retreats.  With the shortage of retreat centres, many people choose to put aside some time either in their own home or travel somewhere to stay in a nurturing place in nature. 

These 'packages' are offered on a three day or six day basis where you meet your director twice daily via zoom.

Save The Date!

We are very excited to announce the launching of my new book on poetry, 'Rise Again', (which Pat inspired and indeed instructed me to do before his passing!). We will be launching the book here in Cork in early September but for those of you from our online community we would like to invite you to join us for our online launch which will be taking place on Monday evening the 9th September.  

Following the launch, there will be a six week online programme, based on the book and integrating a 'lectio divina' method of reflecting on scripture and poetry.  This will begin on Monday the 16th September.
