Celtic Resilience Practices

Invest in your wellbeing, connect meaningfully to community, tap into the inner well of resources that enhances your resilience and recovery.

Caims (Sacred Circles)

Scottish Caims (or sacred circles) would help Clan members to gather to mark the beginning and end of life's seasons, celebrate sacred events, and help one another move through life transitions. These beautiful spaces allowed for clan and community to experience pain, hope, growth and joy through culture, ritual, meaningful connection, and ultimately in 'togetherness. These factors increase resilience, wellness, learning, creativity, belonging, knowledge sharing and feelings of being supported. Alys facilitates a space for you to tap into ancient healing rituals and customs of the Scottish Highlands. You are welcome to join a community Caim at the Immrama clinic in Homebush, Sydney, or make private bookings (either held at the Homebush space or at an appropriate alternative venue). All Caims use small group settings with a maximum of 13 participants. Type of Caims include:

Milestones and Transitions: Feel held and supported by those closest to you at milestone moments like birthdays, divorces, graduations, or menopause.
Celebrations and Events: join to mark annual calendar events such as Samhain (Halloween), seasons, anniversaries, or solstice dates.
Moon Blessings: Dip into the divine feminine energy to mark celestial changes through new moon intentions, full moon blessings, or Goddess honouring
Maternity Blessingways: an ancient ritual marking the rite of passage to assist mothers-to-be to transition into the next phase of their mothering journey.

Immrama: Holistic Trauma Healing Centre

Alys is also the Principal Practitioner and Co-Founder of Immrama: Holistic Trauma Healing Centre, alongside Ashley Gobeil of Ashley Child Therapies.

Located in Homebush, this centre is a collective private practice that consists of three service branches: counselling, community wellbeing and professional wellness. Our approach supports all aspects of the person’s wellbeing (physical, social, relational, emotional, psychological, and spiritual).

At Immrama the practitioners facilitate individual, family and group-based counselling that is both trauma informed and trauma specific. These services aim to support children, young people, families and adults who have experienced abuse, neglect, violent crimes, and all other forms of trauma.

A unique and meaningful service that Immrama offers is Wellness Circles. Known in Scottish Gaelic as Caims, these half day events draw upon the ancient healing practices and wisdoms of Alys' Scottish Clan and from the practice wisdom that both Ashley and Alys hold from the last 15 years of therapeutic work. Caims increase resilience, wellness, belonging, insight and recovery.

Immrama is an Ancient Celtic term meaning Wonder Voyage or Soul Journey. It is a person's spiritual pilgrimage back to ones divine self.' Immrama voyages traditionally included a crossing of the deep waters, where a person didn't necessarily know where they were headed, only that they were oriented towards somewhere their soul needed to go. In yoga, the divine self is also referred to as the true self and is made up of joy, balance, harmony, peacefulness and love. The water symbol is one that captures emotions, flexibility and flow. Therefore, these two ancient healing philosophies seemed fitting to combine to provide everyone with an opportunity to reconnect to the self through a gentle voyage from tension to relaxation and balance.
