People of the Tribes: Meet Marguerite.

Tue, Apr 16, 2019

I always wanted to follow my heart in life. It was just one of those things. I studied biochemistry and then psychology, but something was missing. I loved what I did, but I wasn't in love with it. I suppose, one day I just said to myself, if you are going to really find your thing, you better do it now. Time is moving along. I just did it. I don't know why, but I switched on the laptop and wrote a children's book.

Planting out sweet peas

Mon, Apr 15, 2019

If you’re thinking of growing sweet peas this year, this weekend is a great time to plant them in the garden - and I can’t think of a better way to spend the bank holiday than prepping the garden for the summer season ahead. You can grow them from seed, in which case you would need to have sown them indoors or under glass in January or early February, but most garden centres are stocking young plants about now. Either way, make sure they are hardened off before you plant them outside, to lessen the shock they’ll get from moving outside into a colder environment.

A pig fair in Eyre Square

Thu, Apr 11, 2019

Hely Dutton, in his survey of County Galway in 1824, wrote: “In every considerable town there is a market for fat cattle and sheep once a week. The earliest cattle fairs in Galway were held at Fairhill (hence the name) but in the 19th century, they moved to Eyre Square. It was where the farmer sold his product to other farmers, to butchers and to visiting dealers. It was where town and country met, where the rural people would come to town to sell, then buy whatever necessities they needed before returning home."

Carol Kelleher - Full-day workshop this Sunday 14th of April 2019 at Bearna/Furbo Youth Hub 10am to 4 pm

Thu, Apr 11, 2019

Carol Kelleher, a native of Galway, is a clear, powerful medium and channel for sacred healing energies. Having worked as a teacher for many years, she embarked on a personal journey of intense purification and transformation. She has studied and explored many healing modalities, including Reiki, IET, psychic development and mediumship.

It is however to transformational cellular healing that she is most drawn. Once Carol establishes the connection with the higher dimension, her role is to get out of the way as much as possible to allow the healing energy to do its work. She is not the healer, just a willing channel through which the healing flows. This work helps to unlock and release fears, traumas and self-limiting beliefs. It breaks old behaviour patterns and programming that no longer serve us. It enables us to come alive to our true power, passion and potential. We learn to plug into the field of creation and how to live from that place.

Sit Down Next to Me

Mon, Apr 08, 2019

Do you pack your garden seats away every winter? I don’t. The thing is, winter’s not that clear cut in these parts - it doesn’t have a fixed beginning and end, tending to show up, uninvited, at intervals throughout the other three seasons. The upside of this is that summer gets a crack at it too, with still, balmy days possible any time from February to November, and it’s a real shame not to take advantage of these to snatch a few welcome minutes in the garden, so I like to make sure there’s always somewhere to sit. By the time you’ve hauled your furniture out of storage and brushed the cobwebs off, the window of opportunity might have closed.
