Meditation

Conor‘s workshop ‘Decolonisation of the Gaelic Mind’ explores the possibility that our modern minds may be colonised and the many reasons why so many of us have such unhealthy relationships with the Irish language. He hopes to show why our native language is important today and to inspire others to come back to ár teanga dúchais(native tongue) from a fresh perspective.

Conor Ruadh (B.S.c Psychology), is a hypnotherapist, meditation teacher, currently undertaking an apprenticeship in shamanism and advocate of the Irish language. His work heavily emphasises the importance of inviting our native tongue into modern spirituality and our daily lives. He also believes that coming back to our native language and our traditions can be an act of decolonisation. Conor is a Gaeilgeoir raising his child through Irish.

The class will look at the five elemental phases of Daoism, their relationship to the organs and the cycle of the seasons. We will use simple exercises to work experientially with the elements through movement. As we are in Autumn our focus for the session will be on exploring the Metal and Water elements and nourishing the lungs and kidneys, attuning us to the energetic quality of the season and preparing us for the transition into Winter.
