Earlybird Discount: 15% off tickets booked before 31st July. Discount is applied automatically upon checkout. 

Discover the rich tapestry of the Celtic year with our first expert speaker, Seán Fitzgerald, who will guide you through the “Ritual practices within the Irish seasonal cycle of the year”. Seán, a renowned Cork illustrator and writer, has previous works including “The Last Battle of Moytura” and “Lugh na Bua – Lugh the Deliverer,” two extensively illustrated books on Irish myths and folklore which were well-received internationally. His talk will include illustrations of gods and goddesses and photographs of traditions, bringing to life the seasonal customs and the festivals of the Celtic Calendar.

Our second expert speaker, Helen Bel Logue is a professionally trained, psychological astrologer, using the modern western approach. She will dive into the astrological significance of this Equinox both generally, in terms of what it represents every year, but also the specifics to this particular year. In addition to exploring the Equinox we will highlight the significant lunar and solar eclipses of 2024. Discover the powerful energies these eclipses bring and how they can be harnessed for transformation and growth. Gain insights into how these eclipses align with the themes of balance and change inherent in the Equinox and what they mean for you personally and globally.

Throughout the day, local craft providers will be onsite including Parklane Rocks, crystal specialist.
