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 nature.
Xhale’s vision is of “deeply connected individuals, communities and organisations, nurtured through the gifts of meditation and nature”
‘It was a truly beautiful day – good for the mind and soul’.
‘It is impossible to single out any one thing as it was the complete package that made the day so magical’.
‘I can’t thank Ann enough for introducing me to this transformative and fulfilling way of living life’.
‘I found the practice of using mantras useful because it helped me to focus’.
‘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’.
‘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’.
