Lughnasadh, Lunasa, Lammas

last fire festival and first harvest of the year

on the Hill of Tara, Meath, Ireland

10 August 2008 at 3pm

TaraCelebrations invite you to evenings of woodland contemplation in the beautiful grounds of An Tobar, Navan

 Monday 8 September is the last opportunity to enjoy meditation in the woodland setting

All are welcome - whether you have been before or this is your first visit

from Monday 15 September meditations will continue in the Oratory at An Tobar

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. 

 Below are some seasonal photos taken from our ritual meditations during the year

Brigids Crosses arrive on distant shores

made during the Imbolc ceremony  on Tara these have travelled across the water both eastwards and westwards from Ireland
