Kevin James Carroll’s Chanting Circles are a co-creative and empowering experience that can have you singing your heart out, dancing in bliss and diving deep into the profound silence that follows.

On Thursday July 5th, Kevin James is delighted to introduce a session of summer Sunset chanting of sweet mantras and Heart Songs in the beautiful Irishtown Gospel Hall, Dublin 4.
The Songs and mantras of Kevin James are about re-connection. They are a gift to the many hearts remembering the ONE: an expression of the movement of realisation that is spreading across the planet right now. This is a movement that honours the ancient cultures and religions of the world, embracing their commonality… their Oneness.
Each Heart Song is a modern devotional Hymn, a song of clear intent and purpose: to expand awareness beyond the thinking mind, to enter the bliss of the heart.
Doors will be open from 6.00 p.m. for a light social start, before the main event kicks off at 7.00 p.m. Various raw organic treats, juices and teas will be available to purchase. Admission to the event is €25.

These questions and more will be explored by the poet and spiritual psychologist Steve Taylor in a thought-provoking talk called ‘Making the Leap’ at the Talbot Hotel, Dublin, on February 16th.
This evening will include poetic meditations and exercises designed to move you into a deeper understanding of your own spiritual journey. Steve will also discuss the collective awakening that is taking place within humanity at the moment, and why so many people are being guided to explore their spiritual selves.
Steve is a senior lecturer in psychology at Leeds Beckett University and the author of The Calm Center, Waking From Sleep and The Leap. For the last five years, he has been included in Mind, Body, Spirit magazine’s list of the world’s 100 most spiritually influential living people. Eckhart Tolle – who published Steve’s last two books – has described Steve’s work as ‘an important contribution to the shift in consciousness that is happening at this time on our planet.’ There is no doubt that profound insights and understanding can be gained from attending his talk.

Businesses around the globe are recognising this and starting to incorporate environmental sustainability and mindfulness practices into their everyday routines. This marks a welcome change from outdated corporate business models that have tended to prioritise the pursuit of profit above all else, to the detriment of worker satisfaction, social consciousness, or the health of our environment.

This five-day summit is a free online event, running from Monday, January 8th to Friday, January 12th. All you have to do is sign up for the summit online, where you will be granted access to a wide range of inspirational talks on subjects such as how to bring presence and emotional connection into your work, leading through connection, and blending mindfulness, science and humour.
Each day has its own subject “track” which focuses on one specific area of conscious business. For example, Monday’s lessons are based on Conscious Leadership, Tuesday’s talks will focus on Purpose and Mission, and Wednesday’s talks will explore the area of Workplace and Culture. Each of these “tracks” include a mixture of best practice presentations, one-to-one interviews with experts, and keynote speeches, all of which aim to give listeners a full set of core principles and practical integration tools that they can apply within their own businesses.
