Brigid's Day | Lá Fhéile Bríde For just over a year now, I have felt Brigid's knock on the door; she has crossed the threshold from her world into mine in many ways. My middle name is Brigid, so I feel Brigid-centred. I was born on the 9th of February, not long after her feast day. I come from a long line of Brigid's. My maternal grandmother, great-grandmother, and great-great-grandmother are and were all Brigid's, to name but a few connections. When my mother passed away in January last year, there was just one thing that I wanted of hers, and that was her St Brigid’s Cross. I didn't know why at the time, but I can engage in its symbolism now. The celebration of Brigid's Day as a national holiday in Ireland underscores the significance of embracing change and transition. Brigid embodies the duality of many spiritual traditions and symbolises the threshold, the space between two opposites. Participating in this liminal space, perhaps through deeper exploration of ourselves, through intuitive practices, invoking Imbas, active imagination, dream analysis, and communing with nature could help initiate this, allowing us to gain self-awareness and a deeper understanding of humanity and the other-than-human world. Through arts and culture, we can explore thresholds and gain insights into our emotions and experiences to navigate transformation and change. However, contemporary Irish society faces challenges, such as a lack of meaningful rites of passage, a loss of connection with our inner selves, hustle culture, and environmental apathy. Addressing these issues by promoting structured rituals and preserving natural rhythms can lead to a more sustainable and fulfilling future. We can create a more harmonious and thriving society by recognising the importance of embracing transition and change while preserving cultural traditions. Brigid reminds us that navigating transitional periods can lead to self-discovery and that exploring thresholds offers a rich metaphor for exploring a wide range of human experiences and emotions. #BrigidsDay #Imbolc #InnerWisdom #Inspiration #GoddessBrigid #Imbas #JuniganPsychology #creativity #ireland #StBrigidsDay

Thank you to everyone who joined our webinar on the Ruta del Rio Grande Heritage Regeneration Project! During the discussion with Norma Barbacci, Dr. Nelly Robles García emphasized how this project will serve as a catalyst for academic inquiry, cultural heritage preservation and economic growth in the region. "The Tehuacán-Cuicatlán region is one of Southern Mexico's three cradles of civilization, yet it's largely understudied... The sites that we've chosen to restart the cultural studies of the region, the Ruta del Rio Grande, are crucial for understanding both the rich cultural and natural history of the area, which holds immense biodiversity and historical significance. The work now is to make a roadmap of what has to be done. There is a lot of work ahead of us. It's a task that seems almost impossible. But by determining some areas for intensive work, we aim to create a multiplier effect, ensuring that generations to come will continue to gain knowledge about this remarkable region." 💡 Missed the webinar or want a full recap?

Did you Know? The Object of Rotary The Object of Rotary is to encourage and foster the idea of service as a worthy goal. We do that through: 1) The development of friendships and acquaintances. 2) High ethical standards in work and society. We recognize there is worth and meaning in all occupations and seeing each Rotarian's job as an opportunity to serve the community. 3) Applying the ideal of service--not as a means to an end, but as an end in itself--in each Rotarian's personal, business, and community life. 4) The advancement of international understanding, goodwill, and peace through Rotary, as a world fellowship of professionals and individuals united in service for the greater good.

Can any of my actuarial or mathematician geeky type friends validate that: “Tens of Millions” is correct - Calling Bullshit (Again) Citing my mates at Google “tens of millions” is a phrase used to mention something huge in number. It could be any number above 10 million & below 100 million Currently 26+ Million in Oz In 2021, there were 315,705 babies born to 311,360 mothers in Australia. Let’s say work on 200k per year for the last 100 years and we get tens of millions of babies not boat people As of 2023, Australia's net overseas migration was 152.2 thousand people. In the 50s Agreements were reached with Britain, some European countries and with the International Refugee Organisation to encourage migrants, including displaced persons from war-torn Europe. By 1950, almost 200,000 people had arrived We would have to have this same number each and every year to get 2 million per decade ( and we didn’t ) them every decade for 7 decades gets us to 14 million - I guess if that were true ( but its just sensational maths ) Few of Craig’s teams own stats below Happy to be corrected as I was really bad at Maths ( Year 10 was the best five years of my life !) https://lnkd.in/gt3ryznT
