The changing seasons remind us that there are rhythms to life. There are times of balance when the position of planet Earth relative to the sun ensures equal length of day and night and times of imbalance when there is a preponderance of light or dark.  To celebrate these seasons of our lives is to be connected to the great mystery of the universe.
Date: 22 September.
Time: 2.30 – 4.00pm followed by refreshments.
Cost: €5.
