KILDARE CALLS FOR A GLOBAL PAUSE FOR PEACE, 2025
The people of Kildare, Ireland, call on people worldwide to Pause for Peace for 1 minute's silence/reflection at 12 noon, local time, on St. Brigid's day, February 1st each year. By pausing for Peace we send out a message that we actively oppose warfare and the proliferation of arms in our world.
A global Pause for Peace Movement was jointly launched by Kildare Tourism and Solas Bhride in Kildare in 2023 to mark the new national holiday in honour of St. Brigid who was renowned as a Peacemaker in early Ireland.
Brigid’s Day Devotion
“Living Wisdom: Meditations and Practices for a Compassionate Life” to support World Interfaith Harmony Week 2025.
Join us as we begin with 'Brigid's Day Devotion' on February 1st honoring Brigid through daily devotional practices, the lighting of the flame, through her inspiration as a universal Goddess, a Saint, and as a Woman of Peace. We will celebrate Her day with prayers, poems, stories, and songs and a moment of silence answering the call of the people of Kildare, Ireland for a Global Pause for Peace on Brigid's Day. All are welcome.
ALCHEMY - Elder Honoring. Elder Offering
Alchemy is a gathering of kindred souls who share a love of and dedication to movement as a path for awakening, transformation, connection, and liberation. The Elders who will be guiding the daily process each have decades of evolution on the dance floor of life, actualizing inwardly, interpersonally, and professionally. They understand the science and the magic of movement for human evolution. They have been tempered and emptied in such a way that the medicine of movement moves through them in original and inspired ways.
So often in the field of conscious dance, we orient towards what is new and shiny. This group is wrinkly and wonderous. Younger, newer teachers on the path will benefit from being taught and lovingly held by those who deeply embody what can only come with time.
We need our Elders.
