Shamanism
Interview with Martin Duffy – Director of The Irish Centre for Shamanic Studies
On Sunday the 22nd November at 3pm Irish time, Paul Congdon will be interviewing Martin Duffy about ‘The Elements of Shamanism’, an exciting new look into the history and cosmology of shamanism, and the realms and techniques of the shaman. Paul will be relating it to the modern day and contextualising the conversation around the current climate and how we can use these tools to find wisdom and healing for ourselves and others.
Journeying to Wholeness: We Interview Martin Duffy
We love the work of Martin Duffy, a shamanic teacher and practitioner based in Dunderry Park, Navan, Co. Meath. We were delighted to speak with him for our Autumn 2019 issue, on Transpersonal Psychology, plant medicine, Wetiko and more. This is a longer version of his conversation with Paul than the one that was published in the magazine. Enjoy!
Love and The Land Preview Evening
Weaving Shamanism & NeoTantra
“10,000 blue-white suns burst within me as 10,000 polar suns burst around me . . . ecstasy in my body as I slipped underneath the river’s surface. Stubble against my thighs awakening earthy desire as I lay across the moss covered stones. Oceans of feeling rising up from my belly to explode in my heart as I’m greeted by the sunrise, fiery orange and red . . . Love and The Land.”
“We feel drawn to a shadowy glen, enticed by the graceful sweep of a tree, seduced by a scatter of stones . . . something in the land calling out to be seen and known within us . . . basic, real, substantial . . . a love that is wild, free and absolute.”
You’re invited to join Dawn Cartwright and Joe Mullally for a very special evening of Shamanic wisdom and Neo Tantra practices. An invitation to be wild, free and absolute.
Joe will share his incredible depth and knowledge in the realm of Shamanism. Born and raised in County Wicklow, Joe is a well-known traditional healer, diviner, reader and spiritual teacher. He is a former chairman of the Irish Society of Diviners and The Irish Psychic Society. Dawn and Joe will guide us through heart-centred Shamanic and NeoTantra practices perfect for singles and couples alike.
“Shamanic and tantric traditions of relationship and land are profoundly ancient ones. They speak to the soul and awaken the spirit in profound natural ways both people and place understand. They offer us deep insights into relationships and heart, into love of the land and of life.” – Joe Mullally
