As summer settles in, we’re reflecting on a lovely month just gone and looking forward to more great days out together in July. Whether you joined us for previous events or are thinking of coming along for the first time, there’s something for everyone this month and as always, you’re very welcome to take part in any of the events, no matter where they’re happening across the county.
Looking Back on June
We had a wonderful time at three very different, but equally special, events last month:
A Tour of the Art & Soul Exhibition in Castlemartyr offered a vibrant and thought-provoking afternoon immersed in local and national contemporary art.
Our Mini Retreat at Dzogchen Beara in West Cork provided a peaceful day of reflection, natural beauty, and mindful connection with fellow members.
A heart-warming evening of Music and Storytellingas part of the Doneraile Arts Festival - a lovely blend of local culture, laughter, and song at the Glenanaar bar..
Thank you to all who joined us and helped make these gatherings so memorable!
