You are invited to join Miranda Macpherson for an immersive residential weekend retreat of profound spiritual teaching, supported self-inquiry, meditation, chanting and prayer in a beautiful, peaceful setting only 75 mins drive from Dublin and 45 mins from Belfast.
Let Miranda lead you on a journey through and beyond the habits of mind as you dive deeply into the Way of Grace.
Miranda Macpherson is a spiritual teacher who is unapologetically feminine, joyful and down to earth in her way of being. She is dedicated to loving others back into the freedom and wholeness of our true nature. Miranda is known for her depth of presence and refined capacity to guide others into direct experience of the Sacred. Within a tangible atmosphere of unconditional love, she teaches and transmits a synthesis of self-inquiry, devotion, meditation and psychological wisdom that embraces every aspect of our humanity as a gateway home. She shares an integrated approach to non-dual realization born out of her own awakening process, inspired by the silent presence of Sri Ramana Maharshi, A Course in Miracles, extensive study of the world’s wisdom traditions and more recently, the Diamond Approach. With over twenty years experience teaching and counseling internationally, Miranda’s clarity offers a powerful holding in which to access deeper dimensions of consciousness, unwind ego obstacles and embody spiritual depth in everyday life. Miranda founded the “OneSpirit Interfaith Foundation” in London where she trained and ordained over 600 ministers.
Today Miranda leads the “Awakening Love & Wisdom” ongoing sanghas in Marin and Sonoma counties in California and teaches internationally. She lives in the San Francisco bay area with her husband Bob Duchmann.
Miranda is also giving a transformative evening talk called LIVING THE WAY OF GRACE in Dublin on Monday 6 May '19. Full info and bookings here.
"Through my work with Miranda over the last 18 months, both online and at live retreats, I experience a much more ready access to the field of love in which we al reside. This is a tangible, physical, felt sense of something for which I have always longed...a coming home....which now enables, holds and empowers all aspects of my life, and which I know will grow and grow as I continue the practices and letting myself BE! Miranda's teachings encompass a deep knowing and understanding of the psychological, emotional, mental and spiritual experiences of being human...and practical and powerful ways of melting the patterns and defences which we all adopt in order to survive, thus freeing us to be more and more to be who we really are. Her compassion, presence and the transmission she brings through are an immense gift. the video format of her online classes also make it possible to receive this transmission directly which makes this gift very accessible. As a practitioner I have also learned an enormous amount form witnessing Miranda's capacity to facilitate people out of deeply held trauma, so inspiring and touching."
You can find many free video and audio teachings as well as powerful guided meditations from Miranda here.

The beautiful grounds, tranquil, peaceful atmosphere along with the modern facilities make Dromantine the perfect venue for your spiritual unfolding over this weekend.
