2009 CALENDAR OF EVENTS

Alive to the thrill of the wild. Meet the dawn in a mountain.
Wash your face in the morning dew. Feel the fervour of the earth...
With the music inside, dance like there is no outside. Become subtle enough to hear a tree breathe
Try to watch a painting from within: how it holds what it never shows.
- John O'Donohue from Benedictus: A Book of Blessings -
