“Absolutely amazing experience if you are looking for something a little out of the norm. For corporate or just a group of friends. This experience is a treat for all the senses. It’s fun, it’s healing, it’s so, so different… one of its kind in Ireland.The Japanese tea ceremony is an indescribable, beautiful mindful ritual which Jackie trained in extensively and performs so elegantly and respectfully. It was a true joy to experience. The restorative yoga, with a magical touch of reiki, just showed off Jackie’s life’s work. She is a true perfectionist and master of all she does.But the food… omg the food… what we had all been looking forward to… certainly didn’t disappoint. To experience tasting true authentic Japanese cuisine, cooked on site with the best and freshest ingredients, was an adventure for the senses. And all in the most spectacular, spiritual, sacred venue.I can’t recommend this experience highly enough… Will definitely be happening again!!”

RE: Tea Ceemony and Japanese Food retreat at ForkHill Church
“This was truly a lovely day. Beautiful tea ceremony a peaceful mindful experience followed by yoga, reiki and authentic Japanese food. Thank you so much Jackie it was all beautiful and of course delicious. I highly recommend this beautiful day of self care. The venue in Forkhill church was beautiful, so respectfully restored, a great venue so full of history.”
I'm so thankful to have had a chance to attend Jackie's Kundalini Yoga Retreat. As a first timer to Kundalini I wasn't sure what to expect but I certainly wasn't disappointed !!! Jackie's wealth of knowledge & experience of Yoga & Japanese culture is fascinating. She had a really gentle & intuitive way of teaching and connecting with the group encouraging a sense of Joy & fun. I can't wait for the next one, 🙏

Jackie’s Grief Yoga on Saturday 12th was great.
She very gently but firmly took us through movement to acknowledge our loss and then the main theme was transformation. She is expert in Reiki techniques as well and touched us all with healing energy. I would certainly recommend another session.

My experience attending the grieving yoga sessions has been very positive. The first session was emotionally tough, intense…but so worthy, it was liberating. I felt a huge relief afterwards, emotionally draining though, so I had to lie down for most of the afternoon.
I felt a release from all the emotions that I had stuck for a long time, that I didn’t allow myself to express or accept.
Jackie has that effect on people around her, bringing peace, calm and positive vibes.
This yoga sessions didn’t disappoint at all and I’m glad we have the chance to enjoy more of them.
Keep them coming.

Overall reflection on the retreat: Beautiful room, peaceful yoga and loved the Japanese spin and information. Food excellent. Did I have any shifts or insights? Yes, a calming experience and peace. Suggestions for next time? — More of the same.

Hi, I attended the grief yoga on Saturday 12 July held at the Dolmen centre Omeath. The teacher was Jackie Suginaga.
Jackie gave so much to this day. She was empathic and professional and guided us in how to deal with grief through the power of breathwork, yoga and mindfulness. I gained knowledge and understanding and tools for self help.
Jackie is an exceptional teacher and I was lucky to have the opportunity to experience and benefit from her outstanding skils.

I love Jackie’s style of teaching. On a retreat, she put me completely at ease with Kandalini Yoga, even though I hadn’t tried it before. I can’t wait for the next one.

I loved the ceremony and the ability to try new experiences. The tea was exceptional and lovely and din’t feel it to be bitter in its taste.

Absolutely beautiful day. It was such a wonderful mix of energy & rest. I loved learning about Japan + the tea ceremony custom. It really helped me to come home to myself. The Mantra’s where really releasing and grounding.
