What Then Is Love?

Special Announcement from The Living Room and Happy May Bank Holiday Wishes!

Christine Clear — Tue, 08 May 2012 13:50:17 +0000

Hello there Everyone,

Let me wish you a particularly and exceptionally and unbelievably and unexpectedly and extraordinarily happy May bank holiday weekend. I hope you get to do everything you want to do without any delays, denials or doubts (or lawsuits) and that you connect with eternity through a portal of your choice (oh, yeah). Speaking of connecting, let me remember you to Ursula Browne´s “Connect Course” which starts this Thursday (please see below). This course is for those of us wanting to cultivate a virtuous life through reconnecting and healing the broken/shriveled parts of ourselves we usually put in the shadows. Once they’re out in consciousness, the wisdom goes, we’re afforded stronger choices about who we really are, and what we really can be. All are welcome to attend to some or all of these six weekly meetings.

Let me also mention that Joey Feely´s Music, Meditation and Meaning will run for the next two weeks at 2.00pm – 3.30pm. Anyone and Everyone is welcome to listen to the wisdom of pop/rock/soul/reggae/jazz/traditional/ballad etc and join in on the ensuing discerning conversation which breaks it all down into bite size pieces, man.

Just also to announce and to save utter and complete disappointment: We will be closed until Thursday 10tth May at 9.00am (exactly) due to renovations within our control – we´re painting our office. Yippee for us, you might cheer (or not), but since we live in a republic (don’t start), I’d like to give you the option…

Okeydokey, so,

I remain your happily obedient servant

Christine

~ CONNECT, Facilitated by Ursula Browne Starts May 10th~

Connection to your core being allows you to stand upright in partnership, in family, in community. This 6 week course focuses on personal integrity, authentic behaviour and right relationship. Through music, meditation, poetry and conversation we allow each of our chakras (levels of wisdom) to reveal what is loving (and what is not loving), and to practice ways of receiving their deep guidance so that we deal with ourselves with respect and others with love. All are welcome to attend.

CONNECT

Body Spirit Heart Mind

Embrace Life

Through the medium of meditation, music, poetry and chakra reading connect with the spirit within and your creative power.

Discover the resources that reside in the essence of your being.

Hello there Everyone,

Here is our weekly timetable of events.

Just to say that we’re having a little raw food party on Wednesday – all most welcome – to end the first leg of our ‘Nutrition and the Nervous System’ course. We have all kinds of groovy ways of joining it up with some ‘Mindful Eating’ with Mari Kennedy, and more of that next week.

I hope this last week has found you being happy and healthy and creative beyond your wildest dreams ( yeah – even in this rain!)

Until we see you again in the flesh, enjoy the ‘manifesting sunshine’ meditations!

Best wishes,
Christine

Music Meaning and Meditation starting this Thursday: The Living Room

Music Meaning and Meditation. Click to enlarge

Hi Everyone!
I hope you had a fabulous Easter, and despite greying skies, an appreciation of the strengthening light!
I’d like to let you know of a course we are hosting entitled Music, Meaning and Meditation. This course, facilitated by Joey Feely, aims to spiritually empower young adults through a combination of music, popular culture and meditation. This array of art and meditation will describe and reflect upon aspects of our inner and social lives. Facilitated conversations will focus on feelings of self worth: how to deal with issues within families, communities, friends and peers and how to understand and to connect with society, the environment, creativity and the future. This course is particularly aimed at young men and women who can relate to their own experiences through the prism and safety of popular culture and it’s descriptions current life. You might let anyone you think might be interested know.
Also, our wonderful world of nutritional advise, food demonstrations and food samplings continues today with “Immunity and Toxicity” , this is a transforming course, which in the coming months we hope to align with “Mindful Eating” ( will let you know more as it evolves)
Let me wish you a happy and short week.
All the best for now,
Christine
