Embodied Presence – The Wisdom of Rest – a weekend 5 rhythms workshop with Caitríona Nic Ghiollaphádraig
If resting was as important as activity we would all be more at peace with ourselves. We would all prioritise being good to ourselves. Shifting life-long patterns of going, going, going can be a one step forward two steps backward dance, yet giving ourselves time to deeply rest, and embody stillness can improve our health and well-being.
In this workshop, we will move towards rest over and over, as we use the wisdom of the 5 rhythms to guide us towards the art of conscious relaxation.
When: Sat 26th & Sun. 27th May 2018. 10.00 – 5.00 both days.
Where: The Granary, Bessborough
Cost: €75
Learning to listen to the body – an Introduction to Rosen Method Bodywork - morning workshop with Íde O'Carroll.
Experience this unique path to physical and emotional well-being through embodied self-awareness. Discover the points of holding in the body, where tension resides. Begin to sense the body’s response when attention is paid to these points of holding.
In Rosen Method Bodywork, healing comes from within ourselves, supported by the practitioner’s touch, words and presence.
Rosen Method Bodywork (RMB) involves gentle, direct touch to:
- Relax muscle tension and chronic holding
- Increase flexibility and vitality
- Deepen physical and emotional awareness
For further information see: www.rosenmethodopencenter.com
The session will begin with an introduction to Rosen Method Bodywork followed by a demonstration and group discussion.
When: Saturday 9th June, 2018. 11.00 - 1.00 p.m.
Where: SHEP Centre, Ballincollig
Cost: €10

5 Ways To Increase Workplace Wellbeing From GIY
Happy, healthy employees are the sign of a successful company. Not only a means to an end but a positive reflection of a workplace run well.
The Basics, A Healthy Workplace
Here are Michael Kelly’s top tips for putting food and food growing at the centre of your workplace.
1. Eat Together - Studies are suggesting that employees who don’t talk about topics other than work and eat at their desks may have poorer mental health than those who do. Supporting healthy eating is fantastic but encouraging employees to take their lunch breaks and eat together is even better.
- Get More plants - Research shows that certain plants act as air purifiers and also release oxygen into the atmosphere. This significantly improves indoor air quality and employee cognition. Good plants for indoors spaces include kale, mint, coriander, jade, bamboo and snake plants
- Let’s Go Outside - Like plants, humans need regular exposure to UV light to encourage production of Vitamin D and elevate levels of serotonin in the body. This makes us feel happier and more content. Allowing for a few minutes of outside time during the day can dramatically increase employee wellbeing, particularly if there’s some nature involved (trees, plants, grass).
- GROW Food. Growing food is a mindful, hopeful, purposeful activity that reconnects you with food and health and can even be done your desk (we call it al-desko growing). Some of our partner companies have put in veg gardens where employees can do some food growing on their breaks, getting your hands in the soil is known to boost serotonin levels and gives employees access to delicious, seasonal, organic food.
- Encourage volunteering - One guaranteed way to increase productivity in your office is to create a sense of purpose and belonging. Encouraging employees to contribute to something meaningful in the community, like a community garden, through paid staff leave, in or outside of normal working hours, is a fantastic way to develop organisational pride and improve employee morale.

DETAILS OF THE CREATIVE IRELAND COUNTY CORK GRANT SCHEME 2018
The Creative Ireland Programme is an ambitious one – it is ‘an invitation to the entire country to get involved in something truly inspirational. At its heart is collaboration - between central and local government, between culture and industry, between artists and policy makers - to facilitate an ecosystem of creativity’.
The Programme has five key strands, which are:
1: Enabling the Creative Potential of Every Child
2: Enabling Creativity in Every Community
3: Investing in our Creative and Cultural Infrastructure
4: The Creative Industries including Media Production
5: Unifying our Global Reputation
The Community Participation Strand (Strand 2) is being led by local authorities across the country. As part of the Creative Ireland Programme, each City and County will shortly be publishing a 5-year Culture and Creativity Strategy. The County Cork Strategy has benefited greatly from the numerous workshops held and submissions received, and it will be available soon here. This strategy is underpinned by the following 6 key priorities:
1: Enhancing and Investing in our Local Cultural and Creative Infrastructure
2: Liberating Creativity – encouraging the exploration of creative ability through culture, both at the individual and community level
3: Knowing Ourselves – fostering a sense of belonging to place through our culture and heritage and expressing this creatively
4: Supporting and promoting full community engagement with culture
5: Showcasing County Cork – supporting and promoting Cork’s cultural wonders and talent at home and abroad
6: Our Native Voice – Our Irish Language
In order to work towards the key themes and priorities of the National Creative Ireland Programme and the County Cork 5-year Culture and Creativity Strategy, the 2018 Creative Ireland County Cork Grant Scheme and Creative Ireland County Cork Pop-up Shop Scheme 2018 have been put in place, both of which are being financed through monies from the Department of Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht.
The Schemes recognise the importance of the community sector to the county’s very culture and well-being and aims to support people and communities in undertaking projects and events that are in keeping with any one or many of the Creative Ireland Programme Strands as well as any or many of the 6 priorities set out in the County Cork Culture and Creativity Strategy (as set out above), in addition to initiatives that will generate awareness of the Creative Ireland Programme as a whole. The Pop-up Shop Grant Scheme is geared at promoting a wide range of activities and is also intended to support a number of festival events throughout the County. Consideration will also be given to events that are being undertaken for the national day of culture and youth – Cruinniú na nÓg – taking place on Saturday June 23rd 2018.
Full details and application forms are available here or by email request via creativeireland@corkcoco.ie.
Please note that the closing date for proposals and application forms is 16:00 on Thursday 17th May 2018, to be sent to: Conor Nelligan, ‘Creative Ireland Coordinator, Cork County Council, Floor 3, County Hall, Cork or by email to conor.nelligan@corkcoco.ie.

Performance-related payments for farmland wildlife
A new project in the Bride Valley in east Cork will reward participating farmers for wildlife on their farms. The ‘Biodiversity Regeneration In a Dairying Environment’ (BRIDE) project will provide participating farmers with farm habitat plans that identify the most appropriate and effective wildlife management options for individual farms. Farmers will be paid for their conservation actions.
The BRIDE project was one of eleven projects selected from over 100 applications by Department of Agriculture Food, and the Marine, and the European Union, under the European Innovation Partnership (EIP) funding programme. An innovative element of the project is its higher payments for higher wildlife gains (a results-based approach). Thus, the more flowers in a hedgerow or field margin, the higher the payment. The greater reward for a higher quality product is very familiar to farmers, and the BRIDE project applies this principle to the management of wildlife habitats. This also means that farmers will be paid for the ongoing management of selected existing wildlife habitats, which is an important feature of the project.
Donal Sheehan, the BRIDE Project Manager (who lives in Castlelyons) places great emphasis on the fact that “the BRIDE Project has been designed by local farmers for local farmers and this is one of the most important distinguishing features of the project.” The BRIDE project will be open to farmers within the Bride river catchment, from Glenville to Tallow. A public information meeting will be held in Corrin Event Centre at 8pm on Wednesday May 2nd.
The Project will run for 5 years and is designed to increase and maintain biodiversity on intensively managed farms in the area through simple, innovative measures. The effects on wildlife will be monitored through the project, which aims to create suitable habitats for local important populations of wildlife include skylarks, yellowhammers, bumblebees and frogs and newts. The BRIDE Project differs from traditional agri-environment schemes through its use of a results-based payment system i.e. more farmland habitats will result in higher financial payments.
An ecologist will work with participating farmers to develop a farm plan and advise on how to maximise the wildlife on their farm, and will focus on important habitats such as hedgerows, bogs, woodland, ponds, derelict buildings etc. Wild birds and other animals don’t respect farm boundaries, and the BRIDE Project is also designed to work at a landscape scale. It will involve several clusters of neighbouring farms to collectively enhance biodiversity on a much larger scale than would be possible on an individual farm basis. Farmers will improve the environment for the wider community and local participation will help forge a strong identity that values local wildlife and the ‘farming with nature’ concept.

Heritage Europe and the County of Cork Publication- How to get Involved
In this the European Year of Cultural Heritage, 2018, and as a fitting addition to the Heritage of County Cork publication series, supported by the Heritage Council, it is the perfect opportunity to showcase the wonderful connections that Cork has with the European continent. Similarly, the opportunity presents itself to show just how strong the connections are between Cork and Europe and indeed to look at how mainland Europe has influenced Cork over the many years, through a manner of mediums.
|
The book therefore aims to take a holistic approach to heritage and will examine a plethora of heritage aspects ranging from archaeology and architecture to natural heritage, military history, ecclesial developments and maritime trade. The primary aim therefore is to highlight the in-depth connectivity between the County of Cork and Europe as a whole.
The Heritage of County Cork Publication Series, which has been recognised at the national stage, owes much of its success to the wonderful engagement by community groups, historians and the public at large with regard to their stories, connections, and photographs and accounts submitted for inclusion in each publication.
|
Cork County Council’s Heritage Unit now warmly seeks engagement in this the latest publication examining County Cork’s Connections with Europe and vice versa. If you are aware of any local connections with Europe, either through people, place and/or both, any such details including a short bit of text, any photographs, etc. would be warmly welcomed by the Heritage Unit up until Monday 29thMay 2018, many of which will be incorporated into the final publication. Please email any and all details to
conor.nelligan@corkcoco.ie and thank you most sincerely.
