13th Annual Winter Workshop
The 13th annual winter workshop organised by Cooley takes place in The Strand, Omeath, Co. Louth, on Saturday 26 January 2013 from 14.00 until 17.30. A short meeting will take place at 16.00 during the workshop to ratify a committee for CEHG for 2013.
Following last year's gripping winter workshop on suicide issues Cooley Environmental and Health Group is delving into the mental health area for this year's workshop. A similar workshop took place about 8 years ago on the theme of isolation. But basically this is a new direction for the group. The group is not looking for an expert prescribed view. We hope for an open conversation involving mostly mature people from different backgrounds and different walks of life. The African presence has been a very important and uplifting feature of our workshops in previous years and we hope that aspect will be fully preserved again this year.
The photos accompanying this notice were selected from those taken at last year's winter workshop on suicide issues.
Please make contact with this writer; or with the group through its official web-site: if you wish to attend the workshop with full speaking rights. Accommodation is widely available in the locality for those who may be travelling from a distance on the mainland or from overseas.
