Immerse yourself in the captivating rhythms and ancient devotional chants that will transport you to a state of pure bliss. Such pure joy & love coming through the music. Unlike any other Kirtan we've been to! I'm no musician but found so much joy by just letting go into the songs and mantras! I experienced such an energy surge through my body and felt a deeper connection to everything. ** To be notified about future Oneder Kirtan events join the mailing list here: https://bit.ly/3XkOqBX This music provides a chance for us to transcend our human boundaries. It speaks to the core of us, reminding us that there truly is no separation and deep within we are all one. We sing world heart mantras from the sacred traditions of India, Polynesia, Western & Native America. The word mantra derives from Sanskrit, which is divided into “man” meaning mind and “tra” meaning to free from. Mantras are quite literally tools to free the mind. Kirtan digs into the heart’s deepest well to touch and be touched by the Divine Unifying Presence. Singing these powerful healing mantras together, we have the opportunity to merge with the sound and true essence of oneness & love that these rhythmic ancient songs open within us. 🌞 7:30 -9 pm. *Doors open at 7:15pm* 🌞 $15 Online $20 Door 🌞 Over 18 Event - We are asking that children please stay home or have babysitters so that mum and dad can get the most out of the evening.

One of the remarkable achievements of Lafcadio Hearn is that his writings about Japan became loved and appreciated both by those far away in Europe and America who knew little about the country, and by Japanese readers who knew rather a lot. For all foreign correspondents, wherever they find themselves, striking a balance between emphases on the exotic to attract attention and the quotidian to provide real illumination, and being interpretative without being patronising, is harder than it might seem. This lecture, by the renowned author and journalist Bill Emmott, will explore the lessons from Hearn for subsequent writers about this fascinating but often hard to understand culture, and from others, in the century-and-a-quarter since, who have emulated his dual success. Biographical Note: Bill Emmott is a journalist and consultant best known for his thirteen years as Editor-in-Chief of The Economist in 1993-2006 as well as for serving as the publication's Bureau Chief in Tokyo from 1983 to 1986. The author of fourteen books, including in 1989 The Sun Also Sets: Why Japan Will Not be Number One, which became a bestseller in Japanese translation, he was chair of The Japan Society of the UK between 2019 and 2024, and in 2016 was awarded the Order of the Rising Sun, Gold Rays with Neck Ribbon by the Japanese government for services to UK-Japan Relations. Unusually, Emmott is also recognised for his journalism, books and films about Italy, as a result of which he writes regular columns for La Stampa as well as for two Japanese publications, Mainichi Shimbun and Nikkei Business. His latest books have included Japan's Far More Female Future in 2020 and Deterrence, Diplomacy and the Risk of Conflict over Taiwan, in 2024. A dual Irish and UK citizen, Bill is resident in Killiney, Co. Dublin, and, among other roles, is a trustee of the Chester Beatty Library. This talk is presented by the OPW in support of the Farmleigh Gallery exhibition Kwaidan - Encounters with Lafcadio Hearn, which runs until Sunday 24th August, and as part of the Farmleigh House cultural programme for 2025. www.billemmott.com www.kwaidanexhibition.com www.farmleigh.ie Photograph of Bill Emmott by John Cairns Information Source: Farmleigh House OPW | eventbrite

Welcome to Hands & Hearts Space! Date: 18/04/2025 Time: 10am-11:30am Location: 2 Nannine Avenue, White Gum Valley, WA 6162 About Us: Hands & Hearts Space offers mindful art workshops for children, providing a safe and supportive environment for self-expression, emotional growth, and resilience. Each workshop is thoughtfully designed to help children explore and express their thoughts and feelings in a healthy, creative way. Through a blend of art and mindfulness-based activities, we empower young minds to navigate their emotions, build confidence, and foster meaningful connections with themselves and others. About the Founder: Hello, I’m Annabelle! I’m a registered teacher, artist, and passionate advocate for the transformative power of creativity. With a background in education, fine art and certification in therapeutic art practices, I’ve combined my expertise to create a supportive space where children can freely express themselves, build confidence, and develop emotional resilience through art and mindfulness. Is This Workshop Right for Your Child? Our Mindful Art Workshop is designed for children aged 6-10 years of age. This session is especially helpful for: ✨ Fostering creativity and playfulness – Inspiring imagination and open-ended exploration, giving children the freedom to express themselves. ✨ Encouraging social connection – Providing a safe space for children to interact, collaborate, and build friendships through shared creative experiences. ✨ Navigating emotional difficulties – such as anxiety, self-doubt, or social difficulties, and seeking gentle strategies for managing big emotions. ✨ Neurodivergence – including children who resonate with traits of autism, ADHD, or other neurodifferences (with or without a formal diagnosis). ✨ Adjusting to life changes – including shifts in school, friendships, or family dynamics. What This Workshop Isn’t: This isn’t a traditional art class, so children won’t be focusing on improving artistic skills or creating “perfect” artwork. Instead, the emphasis is on using the art process as a mindful tool for self-exploration and reflection, encouraging kids to express themselves freely without worrying about the end result. Who May Find This Workshop Unsuitable: Our goal is to provide a welcoming and supportive space for all children. However, this group may not be the best fit for those currently experiencing more serious mental health challenges. If your child requires additional support, we recommend consulting a psychologist or psychiatrist. Your GP can provide a referral to connect you with the right services. If you're unsure whether this group is the right fit, please feel free to reach out—we're happy to chat and help guide you toward the best support for your child! What to Bring: An apron or an old T-shirt to protect your clothes from art materials (a few spare aprons will be available if needed).A sealed water bottle.Comfortable clothing.
