Dear friends,&lt;BR&gt;
First of all I would like to say a huge thank you to all that supported Dunderry Park and the Oaktree Charitable Trust in 2011. It has been an extraordinary year. It saw us run our first international festival and gathering the Spirit of Folk Festival and also was the year we took Spirit in the City to the next level with guest speakers from all around the world as well as welcoming everyone as always to the warm fires and tall standing trees at Dunderry Park.&lt;BR&gt;
2011 saw a huge increase in international visitors to Dunderry who have heard about the community of people interested in Shamanism and the work that we do here at the centre. We hope to nourish these connections in 2012 and that Dunderry will become a centre where, as children of Gaia, we can come together, one tiny step at a time, to bring more love, compassion and healing to ourselves and others. &lt;BR&gt;

Dear friends,&lt;BR&gt;
 &lt;BR&gt;
There are still a few places left on The Shamans Journey workshop happening this weekend at Dunderry Park. For more info see &lt;TT&gt;&lt;A HREF=&quot;http://www.shamanismireland.com/shamanic_courses/shamans_journey.html&quot;&gt;http://www.shamanismireland.com/shamanic_courses/shamans_journey.html&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/TT&gt;&lt;BR&gt;
SPIRIT IN THE CITY  The Spirit Boat Journey in Shamanic Traditions&lt;BR&gt;
December 1st, 7-10pm, Cultivate Sustainable Living Centre, Dublin 2, 15/10&lt;BR&gt;
For more details see - &lt;TT&gt;&lt;A HREF=&quot;http://www.meetup.com/Spirit-in-the-city/events/41917202/&quot;&gt;http://www.meetup.com/Spirit-in-the-city/events/41917202/&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/TT&gt; &lt;BR&gt;
The next Spirit in the City will be an exploration into Shamanic Journeying as a method for self exploration and insight.&lt;BR&gt;
Shamanism is humanities oldest spiritual practice and it has long been thought that the particular rituals, ceremonies and journeys used by our ancestors are still relevant to us today.&lt;BR&gt;
The Spirit boat, in particular, is an ancient shamanic ritual performed by indigenous communities to journey together to non ordinary reality to access deep knowledge and wisdom. We will physically build a boat with chairs, then sitting facing west we will open sacred space by rattling in the 4 directions, smudging the boat, chanting, drumming and rattling as we launch the boat on our collective journey. We will then be supported by powerful hemi sync music from the amazing &amp;quot;Shamans Heart&amp;quot; album.&lt;BR&gt;
 &lt;BR&gt;

This weekend workshop is open to those who wish to explore the Shamanic realms at a deeper level. It is also an opportunity to meet old friends and make new ones. This workshop is held twice a year at the Summer and Winter Solstices.&lt;BR&gt;
We will come together in the circle to create a supportive healing community where we can journey deeper into ourselves and beyond. We will be performing ritual and ceremony on the sacred sites of the Boyne Valley. There will also be a sacred Celtic sweatlodge ceremony and we will journey into Mother Earth inside the cairn.&lt;BR&gt;

15/10  to RSVP visit &lt;TT&gt;&lt;A HREF=&quot;http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=290007607684234&quot;&gt;http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=290007607684234&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/TT&gt;&lt;BR&gt;
We are very excited to announce that the next Spirit in the City will be a night learning and experiencing the phenomenon of LAUGHTER YOGA with very special guest and friend Angie Kinsella.&lt;BR&gt;
As always the night will kick off with tea, coffee and chats followed by a short drumming journey/meditation. Angie will then give us a brief history and explanation of Laughter Yoga followed by a mini workshop.&lt;BR&gt;
We will then break for tea followed by chats, discussions and QandAs.&lt;BR&gt;
More on the Talk and Workshop:&lt;BR&gt;
Angie Kinsella of YogaWay is delighted to be introducing the joys &amp;amp; tools of laughter yoga to spirit in the city.&lt;BR&gt;
In the mini workshop we will be practicing a couple of simple warm up games focusing on childlike playfulness (children laugh on average 300 times a day, adults laugh 15 times, lets reconnect to the kid in all of us). Eye contact is another important factor in helping us to connect deeply to each other in a light and fun loving way. These games will allow us to loosen up and feel free to laugh for no reason at all. The games will be followed by a simple meditation working with unconditional laughter, inner smiling to rejuvenate, nurture and increase the life force in the body finishing with a grounding meditation.&lt;BR&gt;
We look forward to seeing you at one of the gatherings!&lt;BR&gt;
Warm regards,&lt;BR&gt;

Dear friends,&lt;BR&gt;
First of all I would like to say a big thanks to all who supported The Spirit of Folk Festival through coming along, playing, volunteering or sending us good wishes. It was an amazing success and we are already looking forward to Spirit of Folk 2012.&lt;BR&gt;
If you would like to see a short film of the event here you are &lt;TT&gt;&lt;A HREF=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9aijScmTqNA&quot;&gt;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9aijScmTqNA&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/TT&gt;&lt;BR&gt;
The winter however is approaching and we have many community events coming up!&lt;BR&gt;
SPIRIT IN THE CITY Ram Dass Fierce Grace&lt;BR&gt;
20th October 2011, 7-10pm&lt;BR&gt;
Cultivate Dublin 1&lt;BR&gt;
15/10&lt;BR&gt;
To RSVP visit &lt;TT&gt;&lt;A HREF=&quot;http://www.meetup.com/Spirit-in-the-city/events/36099492/&quot;&gt;http://www.meetup.com/Spirit-in-the-city/events/36099492/&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/TT&gt; &lt;BR&gt;
Harvard professors Richard Alpert and Timothy Leary made counterculture history in 1963 when they were fired from that institution for conducting controversial psychedelic drug research. In the purple haze aftermath, Alpert journeyed to India and found his guru Maharaj Ji, who renamed him Ram Dass (servant of God). Best known for his 1971 bestseller Be here now, which was a spiritual touchstone of the era, Ram Dass became an inspiration to people across the globe. Filmmaker Mickey Lemle  who has known his subject for more than twenty five years  intersperses vivid archival footage from hippiedoms glory days with intimate glimpses of Ram Dass today, as he continues to remake his life since being  in his words  stroked in 1997. Named by Newsweek as on of the top five non-fiction films of 2002, Ram Dass Fierce Grace is an engrossing, poignant meditation on spirituality, consciousness, healing and the unexpected grace of aging.&lt;BR&gt;
The evening will be hosted by Martin Duffy using Lecture, video and group dialogue &amp;amp; discussion.&lt;BR&gt;

IMAGINE...&lt;BR&gt;
You hear drumming in the meadow......that shamanic beat that sets your pulse racing and your heart on fire.......you see journey folk you know gathering around the fire close to the tipi tents listening to music that comes from the rhythm of the Earthsong, awakening deep ancestral memories of joy and hope....Folk music sings our hearts into life.... reminding us of our ancient rootedness in the Land......The Trees here are putting on their autumnal amber russet shades of colour, proudly preening themselves for the party where Spirit Folk will commune to laugh, dance and play under their golden boughs......and after dark their nighttime splendor will illume with festoons of many hued lights.......ah and the smells of hot food barbecuing, musty wooded paths and smoke fired night air.........moving into magical mystical moments as we join with the fairy folk coming out to play with us....they know we are gathering, they've called us here in community, this is an important time i&lt;BR&gt;
n evolutions history they say......&lt;BR&gt;
Soo spirited folksy friends come along even for a few hours and help us support the emerging vision of a Universal Humanity that we are all working to create by being together in this and the otherworld ......What the folk! none of us will get outta here alive te he,  It's time to sing dance, have fun and remember our true ecstatic nature.....&lt;BR&gt;
Meet you in the meadow,&lt;BR&gt;

			<title>Shamanism Ireland Drumbeat Message - SITC - Visions of a Universal Humanity</title> 
			<link>http://www.shamanismireland.com/cgi-bin/mail.cgi/archive/shaman/20110817075223/</link>
			<description>&lt;BR&gt;
Dear friends,&lt;BR&gt;
Well here we are, in late August, and the move to autumn is finally here. This is a time for change, a time for growth and a time to reflect on what brings us contentment, compassion for others and a healthy state of mind and body.&lt;BR&gt;
Things are changing in the world and now more than ever we need to be kind to our fellow man and come together in community to work on a better future. This change maybe hard at times but it is also exciting!&lt;BR&gt;
Our next Spirit in the City meet up is a discussion and dialogue on this very issue.&lt;BR&gt;
SPIRIT IN THE CITY  Visions of a Universal Humanity&lt;BR&gt;
25th August 2011  7pm-10pm  Cultivate, Dublin 2&lt;BR&gt;
To RSVP visithttp://www.meetup.com/Spirit-in-the-city/events/29692161/&lt;BR&gt;
15/10 (Free in for those getting their Spirit of Folk Festival tickets on the night!)&lt;BR&gt;
The next Spirit in the City will be a short documentary presentation followed by an in depth discussion on the topic, &lt;BR&gt;
Visions of a universal Humanity &lt;BR&gt;
&amp;quot;Without vision, the people perish-----With vision we flourish&amp;quot; &lt;BR&gt;
Barbara Mark Hubbard brings together some of the finest minds of our time to reveal a positive future for humanity filled with infinite possibilities. &lt;BR&gt;
Hidden beneath the breakdowns of modern society are breakthroughs that herald a radically new human condition. While most of these breakthroughs are small, yet vital incremental changes, others are clearly significant new capacities that can fundamentally change our lives forever. &lt;BR&gt;
Hosted by Martin Duffy through lecture, video and group discussion. &lt;BR&gt;
