My presentation via zoom for the Englewood, N.J. Public Library is tomorrow night, March 22. I am sure you would be welcome to link in by contacting the library. But, if you have been following my blogs, you have heard much of what I will be saying.

It is hard to capture what I have learned about Celtic Wisdom in an hour presentation. I plan to hit the highlights:

The mystery and wonder of ancient stone circles, the mysticism of abbey ruins, the liminal thin places of Celtic lands all contribute to a certain palpable Celtic wisdom. It seems to come with a connection to the land, to the elements, to the rhythms of nature. Sages, poets, and storytellers; Druid bards, Grail legends, tales of The Little People; lasting symbols, rituals, and celebrations all contribute to capturing its essence. Thankfully, the wit and wisdom were recaptured by the Celtic Revival movement and are now expressed by modern-day writers such as John O’Donahue and poet Seamus Heaney.

They say that if you know something about a subject, you can write a book. If you know the subject well you can condense it down to a well-written article. But, it you really know the essence of it, you can explain it to a 5 year old in one sentence or two. LOL. The challenge of writing a blurb!!!

I am going to list my presentation blurb below in the hopes that if you know anyone who is looking for a speaker you can pass it on. Please send me any ideas or questions you might have by leaving a comment here or contacting me.

Celtic Wisdom

The mystery and wonder of ancient stone circles, the mysticism of abbey ruins, the liminal thin places of Celtic lands all contribute to a certain palpable Celtic wisdom. It seems to come with a connection to the land, to the elements, to the rhythms of nature. Sages, poets, and storytellers; Druid bards, Grail legends, tales of The Little People; lasting symbols, and rituals and celebrations all contribute to capturing its essence. Thankfully, the wit and wisdom were recaptured by the Celtic Revival movement and are now expressed by modern day writers such as John O’Donahue and poet Seamus Heaney.

Join me in a walk through Celt lands and times as I share my pictures and experiences, interspersed with  their sage words.
