Early Beginnings

Niamh Clune was born in Dublin in 1952.  Her father was a musician and her mother was all-Ireland champion of Irish dancing.  A musician’s Union strike forced the family to move to London in 1954.

Niamh grew up in London Irish pubs surrounded by music.  She joined her first band in 1969 and went on to sing with many famous people. Her career in music came to an end in 1980 when she decided that she wanted to explore and develop her natural mysticism and ability to heal people.

Healer, Teacher, Therapist,

She had already begun training at the London Maitreya School of Healing in 1976 as a protege of Lily Cornford who was herself trained by Alice Bailey. Niamh quickly became a leading light in London's alternative healing movement. She furthered her training by working with Ian Gordon-Brown and Barbara Summers who had founded the first school of Transpersonal Psychology in London. Eventually, she gained her Doctorate degree at Surrey University specialising in the Imaginal Mind, and developing Colour Body Imaging and the Seven principles of Psychological Authenticity as a new spiritual/therapeutic practice.

 

An Emancipatory Interest...

In the nineteen nineties, Niamh went to work alongside her husband Douglas in Africa, where they worked in overseas Aid and Development for Oxfam, UNICEF and World Food Programme.  Whilst in Africa, Niamh also came to realise how environmental issues impact on World Poverty.  On returning to the UK, she became a passionate environmental campaigner. In 2002 she decided she was going to take her simple message to the World Summit in Johannesburg.  She wrote a song for the World Summit, titled “We are the Voice,” which she and her daughter, Aleisha, performed at the official opening.  The song was used to advertise the World Summit over DSTV in more than 52 countries.

Social Entrepreneur

Niamh won a Social Entrepreneur Ireland award for her creative, community-in-the-environment enterprises.  

Niamh is the author of the groundbreaking, The Coming of the Feminine Christ.

She lives in Galway and also practices as a teacher and psychotherapist in Bristol.

REVIEWS of THE ANGEL IN THE FOREST

'(The Angel in the Forest) is a true account of how inborn, innate knowledge hidden in the soul breaks through into people's personal lives and stories; and they find themselves living out a myth...'

 

"This exquisitely written book... may well recall similar waking dreams described by the well-known Irish poet, philosopher and theosophist - George William Russell - also known as AE..." Pathways magazine Victoria, Britich Columbia.'

 

Geoff Ward (Western Daily Press/Mysterious Planet) writes:

'Many would say that the great affliction of our times, endemic in all our strife and conflict, and troubling us individually and socially, is the loss of soul.

When soul is neglected, it doesn't just disappear somewhere; it re-emerges in the world symptomatically in violence, lack of meaning, obsessions, addictions and preoccupations with image over substance.Psychologist, teacher and environmental campaigner, Dublin-born Dr Niamh Clune, is what I would call a specialist of the soul and, in her remarkable new book, The Mystic Labyrinth plays an important part in attempts to reorientate us."
