Back to Belfast

Where has the year gone? September already!
In less than two weeks I shall be back in Belfast seeing friends and giving talks and workshops arranged by Graham and his staff at the Solstice shops in Coleraine and Holywood. I am counting the days.
There is something very special about Ireland for me, perhaps its the friendliness and openness I experience there; or a connection to the Celtic spirituality ever present in those I meet. Talking about angels is easy in Ireland.
Last year during the six month Angel Workshop Facilitators Course I taught there I grew to know the lovely brother and sister team Ciaran and Geralyn well. The group of 12 women enjoyed a group dymension that enabled huge growth and the experience of some wonderful and amazing angelic visions and insights. I became close friends with Maggie and her family who now co-organise most of my workshops and almost all of the one-to-one sessions in the Belfast area, and I feel truly blessed that I have drawn these loving souls into my life.

Then I look back to March of this year, and a superb St Patrick's weekend with a difference at the Drumalis retreat centre in Larne. Twenty six of us, meditated with the angel energies, exercised, shared experiences of openness, gave and received angelic messages and healing, partied and parted with a determination that this should be a regular weekend angel residential.

In April I presented a larger workshop in Dublin, hosted by Mairead of the Angel shop in Dun Laoghaire, and again enjoyed a magical experience. This coming October as a guest speaker at the Awaken to the Divine Feminine Conference organised by Finbarr Ross I shall be flying to the Emerald Isle once again. With so many sites of mystical wonder I clearly have so much to learn there.

Taken from the beautiful Pocket Celtic Prayers compiled by Martin Wallace Here's an Irish Blessing to leave you with:

May the road rise to meet you
May the wind be always at your back
May the sun shine warm upon your face
The rain fall soft upon your fields
And until we meet again
May God hold you
In the hollow of his hand.

Love and Blessings
