Tara Women's circle of connectedness

"To endanger such a place is a symptom of the greed, corruption and
disrespect being shown for nature, people and our environment.
The solution to this controversy is to re-route 7 km of the double-
tolled Motorway, but it seems that vested interests in this area have
been preventing the consideration of any alternatives. "

Tuesday evening had a full moon and at 9pm women were gathering to create a Women's circle of connectedness where we were invited 'to participate in a circle, where we
intend to reclaim our true legacy. That legacy is: the right of the
people to rejoice in their history, heritage and their connection to
the Ancestors and to each other through the ownership and enjoyment
of our sacred spaces in the present time. '

The event took place between Rath Lugh and the Henge at Lismullen, where more than twenty women gathered to share the full moon. Singing chanting embracing the elements and cheering the people who've been there before. They were invoking the friendly spirits of the woods to defeat the NRA. Some men gathered in the outer circle.

The following are some images around Rath Lugh and Lismullen and from the Tara Full Moon Circle, a rather nice friendly place to be!
