The Inner Cheile (Francesco & Căit) will be running the Saturday Night Hawthorn Heart Ceremony - 18:00-21:00
Together we will connect with the chief grief tree of these isles, the hawthorn, huath in the Celtic Ogham alphabet.
Asking the hawthorn for support we will explore moving through grief by resourcing the body mind and spirit with gentleness and togetherness.
This is not a space for verbally sharing our grief journeys, more so a space to be gently held in your grief process in a supportive and shared way, that offers your body mind and spirit some much needed restbite.
—————————————
There will be a guided mediation, body movement, vocal somatic exercises,, chants from around the world, and possibly a bit of organic Mexican cacao & Hawthorn (from Roslyn forest)
About Katie & Francesco as the "The Inner Chéile Harmonic Duo"
Katie and Francesco started "The Inner Chéile", a musical project aimed at creating and holding spaces of healing, love and celebration through shared harmonies and sounds.
Cheile in irish means "harmony" & "togetherness", reflection of the balanced space Katie and Francesco aim to cultivate within and between them, & to honour their Celtic roots.
