Resilience Clinic now in development


The foundation is excited to announce, that in association with long time collaborator Sean Bay from The Bay Partnership, that we are hoping to open Ireland's first Resilience Clinic in Kilkenny in January 2008.


This exciting project is being established in response to the need for facilities which are low dependence but fast recovery and Sean, Paul and the Alchemism Faculty are working on the specifications for the building, which is 1 mile outside the medieval city of Kilkenny in TinnaKilly Park.


It is expected that we will be offering a 12 day programme which will include resilience programmes designed to enhance mind, body and spirit for people who need to restore their resilience which may be eroded due to life's pressures.


With a 165 bed nursing home located on the same grounds, the resilience clinic will have available at its doorstep all of the medical facilities required, but will offer a much more advanced resilience programme including coaching, educo gym body work, burnout prevention and recovery programmes, spirituality coaching, complimentary therapies and a host of "a la carte" resilience recovery programmes..


After 12 days, there is no doubt that you will find your phoenix
