Slimming for the Beach

A fas­ci­nat­ing new series of talks begins this evening, May 7, 2010, at Chris­tine Clear’s The Liv­ing Room. What she calls ‘con­tem­pla­tive con­ver­sa­tions’ have the col­lec­tive title of “Tak­ing Own­er­ship: con­ver­sa­tions explor­ing a rad­i­cal sense of respon­si­b­lity in con­tem­po­rary Ireland.”

The inau­gural talk is The Respon­si­bil­ity of the Indi­vid­ual, by Pro­fes­sor Ivor Browne

These con­ver­sa­tions are con­tem­pla­tive in nature and attempt to under­stand the dynam­ics behind the upheavals in our cur­rent cul­ture. The for­mat uses silence and reflec­tion as a sym­pa­thetic cock­tail for explor­ing an appro­pri­ate spir­i­tual response to the dilem­mas we col­lec­tively face.

The Tak­ing Own­er­ship series begins on 7th May, 2010 from 7.15pm – 9.15pm. Refresh­ments will be pro­vided. Admis­sion free. (The Liv­ing Room is a money-free zone!)
