Simona Irwin is a mindfulness teacher, neuroplasticity coach, and facilitator of Systemic Constellations. She is the creator of the Befriending Fear series and co-founder of the Mindful Earth Refuge, an eco-dharma community in Toronto. Simona also leads The Gathering Stream, a growing online space that supports people living with trauma, chronic fear states, and disconnection to return to inner aliveness, belonging, and embodied transformation. She offers monthly in-person circles and classes in Toronto. Her work draws on ancestral repair, somatic parts work, deep ecology, and meditation to support nervous system rebalancing and soul-level restoration and remembrance. Grounded in lived experience, Simona brings gentleness, depth, and kinship to what is often exiled or held in shame. She holds space for grief, fear, and fragmentation to be met with reverence and care. With decades of experience as both student and guide, her approach is rooted in practice, relationship, and a deep trust in the body’s innate wisdom. She is a mother of two, dedicated to her 5Rhythms movement practice, devoted to the land, and held by a lifelong relationship with the mystery. Her work is circular, multi-layered, and at its core an invitation back into reciprocity and deep connection with self, other, and the earth.
