On this very special evening Paul Congdon welcomes back the queen of Tantra, Dawn Cartwright!
We will for sure have another beautiful evening enjoy her wonderful guidance and insights into love & relationships.
We’ve all experienced it at one time or another, the feeling of dissolving that deep sex brings. A feeling that connects us to life in a way that is both powerful and mystical. As modern day lovers we are becoming increasingly aware of the connection between sexuality and the vibrancy with which we illuminate our lives.
Join Paul and his special guest Dawn Cartwright for an evening of love and intimacy that is sure to inspire. You’ll be guided through Tantra practices that open the heart. A journey into the far reaches of human sexuality and Tantra.
We will have refreshing cold pressed juices at the break courtesy of Sisú

On this very special evening Paul welcomes back the queen of Tantra, Dawn Cartwright!
The path of the Kundalini is an inner journey, a meeting of lovers. Shiva, awareness, entwined with Shakti, dynamism. It’s a journey that is reflected most intensely in our sexuality. You’ll learn Tantric secrets for inner pleasures that will nourish, ignite and awaken the love affair within you.
Dawn has just returned from 3 weeks at a Tantric ashram in Southern India where she has been studying for the past 8 years. Here, the central deity, Rajarajeswari, the Empress of the Universe, sits in eternal union with her beloved, Sadhashiva, the Shiva who is always present. Their lovemaking creates the cosmos.
You will be guided you through classical Tantra practices designed for singles and couples alike as you discover the Secrets of Conscious Sex.
This experiential workshop is designed for beginners and advanced practitioners alike. It is not necessary to have any previous Tantra or meditation experience. All ages and orientations are welcome.
You will explore . . .
What is Tantra? The spiritual journey. The personal discovery.
Tantra meditations for singles and couples.
Devotional practices that liberate the spirit.

By Paul Congdon
Break those busy patterns. As the old saying goes, ‘if you are too busy to meditate, that’s when you really need to meditate’. After a rest, you return to your tasks with a clearer mind. You get a lot more done and your brain is in much better shape when it’s had a break.
Nap, walk in nature, try Gravity, you name it. Busy has had its day. Rest is the new buzzword.
With this in mind, I head to Creacon Lodge in Wexford, a stone’s throw from Dublin by car. It’s a holistic centre with a unique vibe, founded by Derek O’Neill.
I was welcomed with a lovely raw juice, and listened to Derek tell his story of how he set up this wonderful sanctuary. It reminds me of the Tao Garden, in Thailand. A little piece of Thailand in Wexford! Go figure.
There is a very pleasant sense of peace that pervades the centre from the meditation hall to its quirky library bar (no drinks, only books).
Creacon Lodge has got something for everybody, from mindfulness classes, to a range of body treatments including acupuncture, deep tissue massage, there’s something here for all your needs. They’ll leave you relaxed and ready to get back in the groove. There’s a ‘heart energy’ here, plus for those who like their comforts, the rooms are really lovely. Remember to keep taking those mini-breaks. They work. And if you start here, you’re on to a winner.
Eckhart Tolle will be in speaking in Ireland for the first time in five years this September 12th in Belfast as part of his European tour. Find out more here >
Ekchart Tolle wrote ‘The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment’ in the late 90s. It had such a profound effect on people, that it reached and remained in the New York Times bestseller list for years. The book came about after years of emotional turmoil in Tolle’s own life. He recalled to us how one night, he spontaneously felt better. Although he couldn’t explain it at the time, he realised later he had surrendered to the moment. He went on to write ‘A New Earth’, a book on awakening to your life’s purpose, published in 2005. Even today, he tells us, the books come back into the bestseller lists and he laughs about how they have a life of their own. Is there another book on the way? He says he has been doing some casual writing about the teachings of Jesus, something he came to identify with the truths of later in life, despite a Christian background, but he says the books evolve if they need to, the consciousness he’s working in and through uses him as a tool. If there needs to be another book there will be. We asked him our questions and hopefully some of yours too.
