The Celtic and Roman Worlds: The World of St Patrick

What happens when two worlds meet? 🌍
This weekend we explore the fascinating crossroads of Celtic Ireland and the Roman world in the time of St Patrick. Patrick was born into Roman Britain but found his life forever changed when he was brought to Ireland, a land shaped by ancient Celtic traditions, sacred landscapes, and tribal culture.

In this free talk we’ll step back into the 5th century to explore how these two very different cultures met, clashed, and eventually blended. How did Patrick bridge these worlds? And how did that meeting shape the spiritual story of Ireland?

Join us for a morning of history, story, and reflection as we walk through the landscapes, ideas, and encounters that helped form the Ireland we know today.

Free talk | All welcome 🍀

Please book your place by contacting Tom on 0874183053 or DM.

✨ Nervous system reset (90 seconds ) before work tomorrow ✨

✨Sometimes thinking about going back to work can prevent us from enjoying the present moment.

✨It’s time for a gentle nervous system reset… this won’t take long ( it’s actually only 80 seconds ! ) … simple visualisation to help regulate the mind.

✨Hope it helps 🙂… we’ll put up another ‘ 90 second reset ‘ midweek.

✨End of week (90 seconds) nervous system reset ✨

✨It is important for your body to be given a signal that it can now rest after a day’s work. The nervous system can then reset itself into the rest and recovery mode.

✨Often in modern life we don’t give the body an actual break from activity along with an opportunity to heal itself.

✨I hope these series of 90 second resets help you feel better.

✨Have a lovely weekend…
