IMPORTANT: This notice is for everyone who is planning to attend tonight’s event with Sarah Gilhooly, especially those who have purchased tickets (we have emailed those of you who did this). The event is now postponed until MAY 7th. Stay well and connect to your own presence. We will be back on March 27th with the screening of ‘Fantastic Fungi’.
Join us for an evening of exploring The Presence with EDUCO® Model educator Sarah Gilhooly on Thursday March 12th, from 7.30 to 9.30 p.m.
Sarah says, ‘The Presence is all around you and throughout the universe. It is a Power that has the capability of bringing about a new future. By tapping into your greater mind, your Life Force / Power can be expressed through you in its pure form, allowing you to experience the Presence. With this comes a greater mind, nature and power which is your Real Self.’
Sarah Gilhooly works as an Educator of Dr. Tony Quinn’s EDUCO® Model, an educational model that has won a global award for education, and was the subject of a series of life changing before-and-after studies with a university.
The foundation of The EDUCO® Model is to teach people how to use more of their minds, achieving a greater mental capacity, and ultimately accessing their True Nature as human beings.
EDUCO® means ‘to draw out’, and Dr. Quinn’s work is focused on drawing out the essence of who people are – their Real Self and their resulting Power / Life Force – for ultimate living.
When a person allows their Life Force to be expressed freely through them, they experience the goodness of their True Nature and a connection to a greater Presence in the world.
Our event with Sarah will take the form of a one-hour interview, followed by a short break, then a Q & A session with the audience.
This event will take place on Thursday March 12th, from 7.30 to 9.30 p.m. in Bewley’s Café, 78/79 Grafton Street, Dublin 2. Click here to learn more and book your tickets.

Healing With Dheai: A Meeting With the Acupuncturist and Author
Dheai Ilsaaid is a general Oriental practitioner and author who has trained extensively in acupuncture, Reiki, massage, iridology, cranial sacral manipulation and many more healing methodologies. He treats children under the age of fifteen for free. Children must be accompanied by an adult at all times. The best way to contact him is to call him on 086 077 7700. I met with Dheai to discuss the differences between Eastern and Western forms of medical treatment, how he approaches his healing sessions, and his new book, ‘Oriental Medicine & Eastern Philosophy’.
by Aisling Cronin
If you are looking for a comprehensive guide to the fundamental concepts that inform Oriental healing practices, Dheai Ilsaaid’s book Oriental Medicine & Eastern Philosophy is one to read. Two of the most important concepts – Qi and Yin/Yang – are explained succinctly in the book. Dheai says, “Qi (Chi) is the life force of every living thing in the universe. Just as different cells have different functions in the body, so also are there different types of Qi, relating to the different organs and their functions. There is Yin Qi and Yang Qi.”
Of Yin and Yang, Dheai says, “Yin is the fluid aspect of everything. Its function in the human body is to cool and moisturise and nourish the cells and organs. Yang represents the warming and the pushing upwards activities, such as circulation. Hence, Yin needs Yang. Yin is fluid in nature, Yang is movement or energy.”
Dheai treats a wide range of both mental and physical ailments such as insomnia, depression, respiratory problems, epilepsy, arthritis, infertility, high blood pressure and diabetes. Dheai uses many techniques to assess his clients’ ailments, based on the philosophies of yin and yang and the five elements. These techniques include facial diagnosis, tongue diagnosis and pulse diagnosis. He may also recommend treatments for the subconscious mind, including neurolinguistic programming techniques, positive affirmations, mindfulness, meditation, dream interpretation and hypnosis.
Dheai believes in treating each client as an individual, rather than assuming that every person who comes to his clinic with a similar complaint must have an identical cause behind that complaint. During our conversation, he offered a simple example of three people coming to him with a headache. One client may have developed a headache because of suppressed anger, another could be dealing with suppressed jealousy, while the third client’s headache might be caused by a poor sleeping pattern.
Bearing this in mind, when Dheai diagnoses a client, he uses a range of indicators to determine their health issues, then selects the best treatment for that specific individual. These treatments can include nutritional advice, a course of acupuncture treatments, exercises to improve postural alignment, or specific types of physical movements that retrain the subconscious mind.
Dheai is enthusiastic and passionate about spreading his knowledge about health to as many people as possible. He treats children under the age of fifteen for free. Children must be accompanied by an adult guardian when they visit his clinic.
Dheai practices in Waterford, Templemore and Dublin. He also runs his own Private College of Acupuncture and Oriental Complementary Medicine. The best way to contact Dheai is to call him on 086 077 7700. His website is generalorientalpractitioner.
