Over four weeks, Niamh Brennan will focus on the relationship between cosmology, ecology, spirituality, and the human. This course runs as a series of courses running over 4 days on the following dates:
Friday 13th March, 9:30am – 12:30pm
Friday 20th March, 9:30am – 12:30pm
Friday 10th April, 9:30am – 12:30pm
Friday 24th April, 9:30am – 5pm (Full Day)
For those who study the human story, cosmology means the Mega Story—the 13.8 billion year story of life’s unfolding. Did you know that the human story and the universe story are inextricably linked? Do you know the universe story? Do you know that you are made from the same elements as the stars, and that the universe and you are still evolving—that everything in creation is related? In light of what you will learn, the question to ponder is: how will you live your precious life? What can you do? How can your inner life shape the exterior world at a time when the planet we call home is so endangered? You can make a difference!
Optional extra: €20 per day for a delicious two course lunch prepared by our Chef using the best of organic produce from An Tairseach’s Farm. Please order when booking.
