John Cantwell, Karen Ward & Aoife De Danann - Opening Ceremony

‍Opening Ceremony

Join us for the Opening Ceremony to launch Hidden Hearth @Lisnavagh. John Cantwell and Karen Ward of Slí An Chroí will alongside Aoife Ní hEochaidh Reamáinn offer a powerful Fire Ceremony to synchronise and connect with the energies of Autumn and the end of the Celtic Wheel of the Year as we head towards Samhain.

Our ancestors gathered in community to celebrate their harvest and we too have much to be grateful for and to celebrate over these exciting two days together. All are welcome as guests and exhibitors come together to ponder our personal, communal, and global intentions and these may be added to over the weekend as Aoife and her glorious team of FireKeepers will tend this place of community over the weekend.

All are welcome as guests and exhibitors come together with gratitude for our personal, communal and global Intentions.
