Holding the Well
How this space is held
Where sound holds you
There are moments in life that ask us to move outward.
To attend, to respond, to carry, to hold.
Well of Urd was created as an offering of deep rest — a way of turning inward, where sound moves around and through you, and the body is invited to soften back into its own natural rhythm.
Nothing is asked of you.
There is no striving, no fixing, no performance.
Only the simple sense of being met by sound, and held gently within it.
What this space tends
This grew from a quiet noticing: how rarely we are truly allowed to rest, and how deeply the nervous system responds when it finally feels safe enough to do so.
Sound has a way of reaching where words cannot. It moves through the body like the ebbing of a river, washing, settling, opening, and sometimes softly stirring what is ready to shift.
What is offered through these sessions is not an experience to achieve, but a way of entering. A way where the mind can unhook, the breath can widen, and the body can remember how to receive.
The one who holds this space
I’m Marielle.
My relationship with sound began through study and time spent with a gong teacher in Norway, but it has been shaped just as deeply by listening — to instruments, to silence, and to the living world that steadies and guides me.
Nature has been one of my quiet teachers. Through seasons, elements, and quiet encounters, I learned what it is to meet sensation, to soften into it, and to let the body find its own rhythm again.
Now rooted in Ireland, I offer gong baths and sound journeys that are gentle, grounded, and carefully tended.
I’m not here to take people anywhere.
I’m here to offer a gentle way back to themselves.
How the sessions are held
A session with Well of Urd is a time to lie down, settle in, and allow yourself to be met by sound.
There is nothing you need to do.
No experience required.
No special way to be.
The sounds are offered in a way that leaves room — for the breath, for sensation, for whatever wishes to arrive.
Some people drift.
Some feel sensation.
Some meet emotion.
Some simply sleep.
All of it is welcome.
What is held most carefully is the quality of the experience — one of safety, slowness, and respect for each person’s own rhythm.
An open door
Whether you are arriving in stillness or searching for it, you are welcome.
This is an invitation into deep rest.
Into listening.
Into a quieter way of being with yourself.
