MEDITATION & HEALING EVENINGS

Summer Solstice Hill of Tara

Recognise your talents, walk between the Beltaine fires, play conkers, make a Brigid’s cross or plant seeds. 

 You are invited to share these activities, and many more, with our open group on the Hill of Tara, County Meath. 

As the earth and universe support us, so we gather to mark our associations with the land and with each other, working in tune and attuning ourselves to the changing seasons. 

We acknowledge and celebrate our lives on earth, moving through the cardinal markers of the solstices and equinoxes and celebrating the doorways of Imbolc, Bealtaine, Lughnasadh and Samhain, reconnecting to our place on the earth and within the cosmos. 

This is the fifth year of these celebrations, held on this ancient sacred landscape.
