The 5 pillars of wellness and why September is good to make a fresh start

This month marks the launch of our very first newsletter, along with a series of free events to coincide with World Wellness Weekend (WWW) from 19th–21st September.

September is a natural starting point for new intentions and projects.

Our community events will take place on the 19th, 20th and 21styou can to join us.

Why today 9th September Matters

The 9th of September is also Saint Ciarán’s Day. On the island of Inishmore, one of the Aran Islands off the west coast of Galway, the rites of St. Ciarán are celebrated. It is a place close to my heart, as both my son Keiran and this project were, in a sense, conceived there. I return whenever I can, and in 2026, when I bring a group of teachers to Galway for ERASMUS+ KA1 training mobilities, I will go again. Perhaps you’d like to join me?

Behind the ruins of Teampall Ciarán there is a dolmen and sacred well, marked by a holy whitethorn tree. In the Celtic rite, pilgrims walk clockwise around the well, counting each round with a pebble. Each circuit is an intention or prayer—3, 5, or traditionally on Aran, 7 rounds.

A simple intention might be: “May I be well. May I generate wellness.”

For us, regeneration is about doing more good, giving back to others, our communities, and our planet—while also practicing self-compassion and caring for our own wellbeing.

The Five Pillars of Wellness

According to World Wellness Weekend, there are five pillars of wellness. Each has a mirror that reflects and deepens its meaning:

  1. Sleep & Creativity
    Rest restores us, and from silence and dreams, creativity is born. This could be our first intention: quality rest and inspired creativity. On the 20th, we’ll offer a workshop to help you open to creativity from the heart.
  2. Mindfulness & Serenity
    A calm beginner’s mind allows us to observe the present moment with clarity and compassion. Mindfulness is at the heart of our project—its fruit is wisdom and compassion. Join us in our weekly meditations as a member of our community.
  3. Movement & Vitality
    Our bodies are meant to move. Movement connects us to the world and deepens our awareness of ourselves. Join us on Fridays to move, breathe, and regenerate the earth together.
  4. Nutrition & Immunity
    Food fuels not only body and mind, but also soul. In Ayurveda, nutrition is linked to:
    • Prana (vital energy, air)
    • Tejas (nourishing fire)
    • Ojas (bodily radiance, earth and water)

See our course on ayurveda for more information: https://naturaclass.net/product/curso-de-ayurveda/

We are what we eat. In our Friday Regenerative sessions and monthly events, we’ll share local, organic, and seasonal food—and breathe in the energy of prana.

  1. Purpose & Solidarity
    Purpose gives life direction, and solidarity reminds us we are not alone. This is why we are launching our project now: to weave partnerships and community around a shared purpose of regeneration—to create a wiser, more compassionate world.

So, we leave you with a question:

👉 What is your purpose?
👉 Will you choose to become part of the ReGeneration?
