Anne Lillis, Holistic Creative Therapy

20/04/2026

I have just set up a new page for my Holistic Creative Therapy. This is a therapeutic approach treating the whole person, mind, body and spirit, by integrating creative expression with mindfulness. It involves art-making, movement, drama, music and writing to connect with self-awareness, emotional balance and healing.

This approach is suitable for all ages and experiences, and aims to help individuals unlock insights, resolve conflicts and enhance overall well-being.

I facilitate one-on-one therapeutic sessions for individuals.
I also facilitate a group workshop online every Sunday, at 7pm.
If you'd like to find out more, you can look up my website, annelillishct.com, or if you think you'd know anyone who'd be interested, they can follow me here.

Lovely intensity and passion coming into classes. Poets and painters. It grows if you persevere rx

The first class in common ground was really lovely. Just to hear people share with enthusiasm about specific moments of beauty and how it affected them, brought such a bond of joy and warmth to the creative environment😍

In memoriam John o' Donohoe

THE WAVE

You arrived as a ripple of change emanating
from an original, unstoppable,
memory, a then made now,
entirely yourself, found now in the world,
now as creator of that world.
You were a signature written in sand
taken by the ocean and scattered
to another wave form, your disappearance
only made more beautiful
by the everyday arrival of a tide
where my voice can still join yours,
hungering for the fall of water,
so that walking the reflected sand,
I set myself to learn by your going,
knowing across death’s wide ocean,
the ultimate parallel to friendship.

'In essence the soul is the force of remembrance within us. It reminds us that we are children of the eternal and that our time on earth is meant to be a pilgrimage of growth and creativity. This is what music does. It evokes a world where that ancient beauty can resonate within us again. The eternal echoing of music reclaims us for a while for our true longing.' John O'Donohue.

'Sometimes beauty is that unpredictable; a threshold we had never noticed before opens, mystery comes alive around us and we realize how the earth is full of concealed beauty ' reading John O'Donoghue after the Hugh lane gallery.
