Ireland Odyssey Journey: July 2024

WITH GILLIAN SCHOEMAKER AND ALAN POTTER

Join Gillian Schoemaker and Alan Potter on the Ireland Odyssey Journey, tracing the threads of the spiritual history of Ireland: a rich and profound story dating back many thousands of years. We’ll see ancient megalithic sites, castles, monastic settlements, vibrant Dublin, a variety of landscapes, charming towns and villages, traditional music and song, and much, much more.

• An unforgettable journey awaits, in the company of like-minded people with an interest in an anthroposophical perspective.
• Most mornings, we will meet together to prepare for the events of the day. In the evenings, we may gather to share impressions and experiences.
• At many of the sites, we will explore the spirit of place though song and story, eurythmy,
  and informal talks with Gillian and Alan.
• We will endeavor to experience our Odyssey in the light of earth-healing and gratitude in these special places where the worlds of humanity and spirit were closer than today.
• There will be time for ponderings and wanderings too!
• Time to enjoy the landscape and soul-scape of Ireland – the beautiful interplay of light, sea, mountains and sky. And sunshine – and maybe even some rain! And rainbows!
