George Peterseil book launch

Locally-based architect George Peterseil will launch his new book House Whisper - Energies of Man, Places and Spaces at the Linenhall Arts Centre in Castlebar today (Friday) at 7.30pm. “We all live in a place and a space we call home. But how deeply are we connected to it? According to quantum physics, more than 90 per cent of reality is invisible. This apparently empty space is actually filled with energy that contains intelligence and stores all past, present, and future events.” By sharing his personal journey from living a life of separation to one of connection, George Peterseil guides you on your own journey to nurture a deeper connection with yourself and your environment. Admission is free, and all are welcome.
