PASTIME CHONAMARA

EYRE SQUARE SHOPPING CENTRE, SAT 3RD 11AM

Is de bharr léiriú spéise i Stuaim Saorláimhe Ceardaíochta Traidisiúnta chomh maith leis an Oidhreacht agus Saibhreas Teanga a théann leis a tugadh Pastime
Chonamara ar an saol. Freastalaíonn Pastime Chonamara ar an limistéar ó Bhaile Chláir na Gaillimhe go Conamara Thuaidh agus Theas le tacaíocht ó Údarás na Gaeltachta agus GRETB.
Mar chuid den fhéile Tonnta, beidh Taispeántas in Ionad na Faiche Móire ar an Satharn an 2 Feabhra ag 11am faoi stiúir an teagascóra Máirtín Davy.
Taispeánfar mar a dhéantar Crosóg, Súgán, Crois agus Dobán Bríde.

A passion for traditional craftsmanship and the heritage and languages associated with it led to the creation of Pastime Chonamara. Pastime Chonamara serves the area from Claregalway to North and South Connemara with the support of Údarás na Gaeltachta, and the GRETB.
In celebration of the Tonnta festival, there will be an exhibition in Eyre SquareCentre on Saturday 2 February at 11 am, where you can see how the Crosóg,Sugán, Crois and Dobán Bríde are made.

leigheas/healingwith Kate Fennell:

12pm - 1pm 

Ba Bhean Leighis í Bríd agus bhí an-eolas aici ar an leigheas a bhí sa nádúr, sna luibheanna agus sna plandaí fiáine.

Seo ceardlann le Kate Fennell, a chleachtann modhanna leighis éagsúla. Inseoidh sí roinnt faoi Bhríd agus an luibheolaíocht agus taispeáinfidh sí dúinn conas leigheas leis na làmha agus conas leigheas don chliabhrach a dhéanamh as caraigín.


Bríd was a Medicine Woman and she was very knowledgeable about the healing that was in nature, in herbs and wild plants.

This is a workshop by Kate Fennell, who practices different modalities of healing. She will tell a little bit about Bríd and herbalism and show us how to heal with the hands, and how to make a bronchial medicine from Carrageen or Irish Sea Moss.
