What’s New in 2015?
We have some beautiful changes that will deepen your experience of the Solstice.
☼ We are starting earlier this year: Sat 19th Dec @3pm . There will be more time for stillness and for catching up and making new friends. ☼ There will be more stillness with the energies of Newgrange at sunrise (since we will be doing ceremony on the solstice morning of the 20th of Dec). ☼ New additions to the timetable this year – new wisdom holders – new trad Irish music band – bedtime sound healing ☼ You will be able to go inside Newgrange with little queuing after the lottery winners come out. ☼ Holding of a ritual on Dowth honouring the sunset alignment ☼ New healthy drinks & tonics bar: Organic/Raw/Vegetarian/Vegan (the bar is not included in your ticket price) ☼
