On 13th March you are invited to treat yourself to a day of gentle dancing to beautiful music as we move together in a circle creating community. Our lives can feel fragmented in these challenging times. Dance meditation can help bring about a greater harmony of body, mind, spirit and heart. No previous dance experience required. Come! Enjoy! Be surprised!
This one day Workshop will be facilitated by Barbara Perry chf and the total cost for the day including a light lunch is €50.00. Barbara is a graduate of the Institute for Dance Meditation/Sacred Dance in Germany. She leads dancing circles in Ireland on a regular basis and has given workshops here, in the UK and USA.
The first weekend programme of the Year will take place on 13th & 14th of March and is entitled “Meditation with Fireflies” – Facilitated by Brother Denis Gleeson. This weekend residential or non residential programme will give us an introduction to the life, work and prayer of Thomas Merton. (1915 - 1968) Merton was a Trappist Monk, a modern mystic, a poet, a prolific spiritual writer and social activist. He remains a major spiritual influence and an inspiration for our times. The programme will commence on Saturday 13th March at 10.00am and conclude after lunch on Sunday 14th, the programme can be availed of on a residential at €130.00 or non residential basis at €90.00.
A second weekend programme entitled “Being close to the Broken Hearted” – again facilitated by Brother Denis Gleeson. The programme will look at if God is good, why does he allow so much human suffering and why does evil exist? Human suffering and evil are among the great mysteries of life? We struggle to explain them and in our daily lives, we certainly struggle to come to terms with them.
Why do the innocent suffer? How do people come to do such terrible things?
These are some of the questions that will be explored over this weekend in an attempt to come to some kind of understanding of the evil and suffering which will inevitably touch our own lives.
Once again this programme is available on a residential (€130.00) or non residential (€90.00) basis and will commence again on the Saturday at 10.00am and conclude at 2.30pm on the Sunday.
