“I want you NOT to WORRY. We will support you.” – The Layden family, landlords of Dublin’s Georges Street Arcade posted a lovely message of support to their tenants on social media this week.
We have long been fans of Down to Earth, a health food store and homeopathic dispensary, on Dublin’s South Great George’s Street. It is always a joy to speak with them when they appear on the pages of our magazine. In our Summer 2020 issue, founder Jack Irwin shared an amazing historical link between the present-day store, and an old homeopathic dispensary which existed on the very same spot during the 1850s!
PLEASE NOTE: Due to global events, this event is now postponed. We hope to arrange a new date as soon as possible.
Following our previous visits from the acclaimed yoga teacher, musician and folklorist Jack Harrison, we are thrilled to have him back at Positive Nights to perform his beautiful music on Thursday April 2nd from 7.30 to 9.30 p.m. in Bewley’s Café, 78/79 Grafton Street, Dublin 2.
Jack first encountered yoga in the 1970s and 1980s in San Francisco. After leaving the U.S., he began to work with the Irish Wheel of Yoga in Galway. He launched his career as a yoga teacher in 2005. Throughout his career, he has travelled extensively and studied a wide range of yoga styles, including Iyengar, Satyananda, Ashtanga and Anusara.
Jack has also had a keen interest in music and singing since his childhood. He holds a Masters degree in Irish Folklore and Archaeology and has worked for many years as a consultant and lecturer in Heritage Interpretation. In recent years, he began to understand the deep connections between his three interests – yoga, music, and folklore/archaeology – and established the Celtic School of Yoga to help tie together the yoga traditions of India with those of the Celtic world.
He has travelled widely around the world, offering workshops, intensives and teacher trainings. and his teaching work is now strong influenced by the Celtic tradition. These practices explore how to ally movement of the body with breath, focus, mythology, poetry, music and the natural world.
We are thrilled to be hosting him for a special concert on Thursday April 26nd from 7.30 to 9.30 p.m. in Bewley’s Café Theatre, 78/79 Grafton Street, Dublin 2. Click here to book your tickets.
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.

About Ram Dass: Ram Dass first went to India in 1967 as Dr. Richard Alpert, a prominent Harvard psychologist and psychedelic pioneer with Dr. Timothy Leary. He continued his psychedelic research until that fateful Eastern trip in 1967, when he traveled to India. There, he met his guru, Neem Karoli Baba, affectionately known as Maharaj-ji, who gave Ram Dass his name, which means ‘servant of God.’ Everything changed for Ram Dass at that moment – his intense dharmic life started, and he became a pivotal influence on a culture that has reverberated with the words ‘Be Here Now’ ever since.
Ram Dass’ spirit has been a guiding light for generations, helping to free milllions of people from their bonds, as he has worked through his own. His unique skill in getting people to cut through and feel Divine Love, without dogma, remains a positive influence for people around the world.
