June 2009

Welcome to Tir na nOg, the realm of endless possibilities, amazing insights, and great cake

Hello!
May was a hectic and productive month here at Tir na nOg.  As usual, we kicked it off with our celebrations for the beginning of summer - the Beltane Firewalk and an Open Day the next day (this always seems like a great idea 6 months beforehand when we plan the calendar, and is always a magical weekend, but sometime round about 2pm on the Sunday afternoon, I usually find myself a little dazed and confused due to all the excitement and sleep deprivation.  Amusingly, this year, at just about that time, I was being interviewed by Your Radio.  I haven't been brave enough to listen to the recording they sent yet...).  Since then, there have been a whole host of other events and exciting developments, from lots of new things arriving for the shop (witches, wizards and monk incense burners; brilliant quotes on cards, mugs, candles and canvas; wands ready for you to decorate and finish yourself, and lots more - 4 years of opening boxes, yet still the excitement hasn't faded ..) to a Singing Bowl Concert and yesterday's Return of the Unicorns workshop. And in the middle of it all I even got to take a very quick trip to Glastonbury to see the site for the Goddess Conference firewalk on 29th July - check out the website for more details on the event, it's going to be extraordinary..  And if you can't make it all the way down to Somerset, I have added an extra firewalk date of 8th August, as lots of people had been asking for a summer date here at Tir na nOg.

So what does June have in store?
Well, with weather like this, it has to be all about soaking up the warmth, relaxing in nature, and recharging our batteries.  And that's just the staff..   But if the glorious sunshine, the vibrant green leaves and the shimmering bluebells on the enchanted woodland walk aren't enough to tempt you for a visit, then imagine enjoying them with a packed lunch from the cafe too - we'll pack up your vittles in a pretty paper bag and you can go find yourself a sunny bench or a shady nook..  You can deepen that sense of well-being with one of the many therapies we have on offer..Massage, Reiki, Reflexology, Kinesiology, Bowen Technique, Feldenkrais Method and Gestalt Psychotherapy
And if you want an even better excuse, check out our calendar dates for the month of June:

The Chill Out Sessions
On the 2nd Thursday of every month at 7pm, beginning May 14th, Lyn & Laura of Lunicorn will be hosting some meditation sessions at Tir na nOg. Open to all, from complete meditation novices to the more experienced.
 For those who think they can't meditate, they can! The Lunicorns will talk you through an easy, gentle meditation which only requires an hour of your time to be still, contemplate and relax. If you've been put off before by rules which say 'you must sit in the lotus position' or 'you must have a straight back', then fear not - The Lunicorns will blow all of those restrictions away. Come and enjoy!

One final piece of news: there are now 3 lovely spaces available to rent in the West Stables building here.  Suitable for office, therapy, possibly studio, or retail - if you think you might be interested, contact Oona through the usual email address or phone number.
