The Venue
At An Tairseach, The fully functioning organic farm is like a little piece of Eden transplanted into the 'Garden of Ireland'. We will be holding the sound events in the conference room (below) which is a wonderful setting with and 'airy' high ceiling and beautiful hardwood floor (which can have lovely effects on an acoustical level). At the events your initial focus should be your own personal comfort. It is recommended that participants lie down during the sessions, although there is no set rule and sitting or any other position is acceptable so long as the individual is comfortable and can relax. You may want to bring a yoga/camping mat, a cushion or small pillow for your head and a blanket if you require it. Once again the main issue is individual comfort.
THE PROCESS
As mentioned above our usual approach of two shorter sound sessions has prevailed and will do so for the forseeable future. For those who may not have the appropriate gear we do have a selection of mats, blankets and cushions available for use although participants are encouraged to bring there own kit if they have it as we may not have enough for everyboby. As is normal at our events we will not introduce any visualisation or guided meditation but participants are encouraged to follow whatever path presents itself. After the sessions a period of silence is important, allowing the sounds to integrate and 'sink in', this also facilitates a 'return' to our shared reality.
