HeartSpace Events

21/08/2024

Hey HeartSpacers.
Donal here.
Long time no feel.
Writing to let you all know that a few of us are making plans to resurrect HeartSpace events next year in Ireland (then maybe Spain and/or Portugal), so watch this space.
In the mean time, I'll be offering shorter events with some of the HeartSpace elements during the next couple of weeks: Starting this weekend in Belfast, then onto Clare, and finally Galway.
We already have a few HeartSpacers coming along to each.

I'd love if some of you come and join us.
I know its short notice - sorry... and thanks if you are willing to help spread the word, and get your friends along (please share this post!!)
Check out the posters, video and event pages linked below.

Dear HeartSpace Family,

With so much love and some grief we have decided not to hold the HeartSpace Gathering this August as it feels too hard to navigate the current social distancing guidelines at a gathering about togetherness.

However, we fully intend to hold some events in the near future, possibly as soon as September, and we will keep you updated as soon as our plans become more clear.

The value of the work that we do at HeartSpace feels stronger than ever in this time where society's old story of separation is reaching new extremes. We so wish that we could hold space for you all to be together in this time, welcoming all the parts of ourselves in compassion and meeting our needs for love, connection and belonging.

With this thought we've decided to have a get together on zoom this Thursday evening where we can share what's alive for us, celebrate our love and give space to let go and grieve what we have lost. This is how we would like to let go of this year's HeartSpace Gathering together.

Thursday 21st May at 8 - 9.30pm BST
zoom link: please message us or email heartspace.events@gmail.com for the zoom link

We hope to see lots of your lovely faces there! Please arrive 5 minutes early so we can start together. Everyone is welcome, whether you have been to a HeartSpace event before or were intending to come in the future.

Refunds for HeartSpace Gathering will be issued within a couple of weeks, please bear with us as we need to wait for some funds to arrive back in the bank account. If you would like to transfer your ticket to next summer's camp just let us know.

Lots of love to you all, we hope you are all well and finding plenty of connection and unity in these powerful times,

from
Sherry and Donal,

and with love from the HeartSpace team: Maeve, Niall, Ciara, Hannah and Karl.

We're delighted to finally confirm that Heidi Violet will be joining us for the Spring retreat and offering her heart opening Cacao Ceremony and ecstatic Cacao Dance. Anyone who attended our new year celebration or one of her events around Ireland will appreciate the blissful heart activating magic that she cultivates.
There are still places left at both weekends, among a steadily growing group of delicious humans.

"Maya Angelou suggests there are four questions that we’re all unconsciously asking each other all the time.

Do you see me?
Do you care that I’m here?
Am I enough for you, or do you need me to be better in some way?
Can I tell that I’m special to you by the way that you look at me?

Being present doesn’t require meditation, deep breaths, or anything like that. It’s just a one second decision, “Ok, I’m gonna be present now.” "

The 4 critical questions we're all unconsciously asking each other near constantly
