“The Wise Holy Fool”
Where? At Milltown Park, Theatre
When? Saturday Dec 1st and not Sept 29th as originally indicated in the AISGA newsletter
This workshop is designated as a ‘How to’ event, and therefore a practitioners’ day; soul -practice its aim.
The workshop will be presented by John Doherty and assisted in its execution by inputs from Drs Jack Finnegan and Una Agnew. The reorganisation of dates has been done to avoid clashing with the Anamcharadas AGM and to allow as many as possible of the trainees in Spiritual Guidance/Direction. Other logistical difficulties around the venue and the availablitiy of personel, played a part in changing the original date.
