Swim in the sea.
Drink in the wild air.

Transmission Incoming
This July, we are excited to invite Kundalini transmission expert Venant Wong back to Positive Nights. His work involves transmitting both the raw life force of Kundalini and a state of non-dual awareness. This blend of energies promotes deep healing and alignment in those who receive it.
Fall in Love
Another Love Story is a bespoke music festival taking place in Killyon Manor, Co. Meath, from August 16th to 18th. It’s inspired by a deep faith in Irish talent, and a belief that there is a kinder, more sustainable way to run festival events.
