ICPPD offers a professional diploma in expressive arts

Thu, Oct 24, 2019

ICPPD is offering a one year professional diploma in expressive arts, described as ‘unique and pioneering in Ireland’. This programme delivered over 10 days is for professionals, or others interested in using creative processes to support expression with clients they are working with.

Christine Moran, academic director at ICPPD and an expressive arts facilitator, writes - “I have never been artistic; I have always been creative. I think we are all creative beings. We all have within us the ability to express ourselves in creative ways, as carpenters, technology designers, decorators, parents, entrepreneurs. In whatever roles we have in life we can find creative ways to solve our difficulties or express our creativity. As creative beings it is important to have means of expression or we get stuck and sometimes become ill. Our inner juiciness dries up, we abandon our playful, curious inner child. Sometimes we need to express things in a way that is beyond our normal knowledge. There are times when we need more than words to describe the multidimensionality of what we are feeling.”

Gaslight at The Meyrick

Thu, Oct 24, 2019

The Meyrick has long had a special place in the hearts of the people of Galway. Known as the Railway Hotel when it opened in 1852, and later as the Great Southern Hotel, this stately showpiece looms large over Eyre Square. In 2006 it was re-named the Hotel Meyrick in order to maintain a link to its historical background, as Eyre Square was once named Meyrick Square. The hotel then underwent a refurbishment programme intended to reinstate the grandeur and elegance of its 19th century heyday, marble flooring, high ceilings, chandeliers, and rich fabrics all contribute to recreating the grandeur of old.

There is nothing like the image of a turf fire to carry you through the wilds of winter in search of solace. Driving through Connemara last Friday night, the twilight mountains turning to dark, the moon reflecting off the glasslike lakes painting the vistas between Recess and Clifden a wonderful mixture of blue and black, I longed to arrive at my destination and to feel the heat of orange flames on my face, to lay down my weary self, and to give myself over to hosts tasked with reenergising me with fine food, fine wines, and a hearty welcome.
