Thursday 9 April - Friday 10 April 2020
9:30am - 4pm

Location:

Gandharva Loka, The World Music Store, 62 South Great George's Street in the heart of Dublin

Facilitated by:

  • Orlaith O’Sullivan (reflection & mindfulness)

  • Clíodhna Ní Aodáin (vibration & cello)

  • Mary Knysh (heartbeat & rhythm)

DAY 1 CONNECTS us to our extrovert-drumming fire-energy. An emotional spring clean, clearing blocked energy and joyfully releasing that which we no longer need. A cathartic and fun day leaving us energised and inspired. 

DAY 2 UNITES us with our intuition, our heart and our wisdom. Using sound healing to connect us with our internal contemplative energy, we drop into presence, practice silence and rediscover wellness by recalibration. Together, we create an environment that makes it possible for us to revitalise and thrive, leaving us nourished and uplifted.

These three teachers - Orlaith, Clíodhna and Mary - establish a circle of open authenticity, presence and playfulness.

Together, they weave a space of profound connection, with a rich mix of music and silence, listening inwards and expressing outwards; of recognition and joyful belonging.

The day is open to all, and no experience is needed.

Give yourself the gift of renewal, rejuvenation and revitalisation in the first spring of the new decade!

  • Early Bird: €195 till Feb 29th 2020
