éist - Saying No to Silence CLG

ÉIST – Saying No to Silence is a not‑for‑profit organisation dedicated to creating safe, trauma‑informed spaces where individuals can reconnect with their bodies, voices and communities. Through a range of gentle, inclusive programmes they support nervous‑system regulation, emotional healing and collective dialogue for people of all ages, abilities and identities.

Their flagship offering, Connect | Regulate | Reflect, is a six‑week series led by yoga teacher Kim Darby that blends accessible yoga, breathwork and embodiment exercises, all delivered without hands‑on adjustments to honour personal choice. In addition, ÉIST hosts the Coming Home to Yourself meditation and healing circle, a night of guided meditations, journalling, circle sharing and vocal expression designed to calm the mind and nurture self‑compassion. The organisation also runs Queer, a community‑led discussion on sexual violence within LGBTQIA+ communities, fostering survivor‑centred, consent‑driven conversation and solidarity.

All programmes are open to beginners and seasoned practitioners alike, with spaces limited to maintain a supportive, confidential environment. Participants are encouraged to bring a yoga mat, notebook and an open heart, and can book their place via the company’s online portal.
