Some interesting facts about St. Patrick’s Day: St. Patrick’s Origin: Despite being the patron saint of Ireland, St. Patrick was actually born in Britain. He was captured into slavery and taken to Ireland, where he later returned as a Christian missionary. No Snakes in Ireland: The story of St. Patrick driving snakes out of Ireland is a myth. In reality, Ireland has never had any native snake species to begin with. Leprechauns and Fairies: The leprechaun, often associated with St. Patrick’s Day, is derived from Celtic folklore. These ‘small-bodied fellows’ were believed to be fairies and were known for their shoemaking skills. “The Luck of the Irish” is a phrase that originally emerged in America during the gold and silver rush eras, when Irish miners were often successful in their endeavors. Contrary to popular belief, it’s not an old Irish saying but an American one, and it was initially used in a somewhat derogatory way to attribute the Irish miners’ successes to luck rather than their hard work. Over time, the phrase has taken on a more positive connotation, celebrating the Irish for their perceived good fortune and resilience, especially in the face of adversity. Today, it’s commonly used to express good luck and is often associated with St. Patrick’s Day celebrations.

If you are a parent of school-aged children, or a teacher/ school administrator, I encourage you to give this journal a try with the kids in the early hours of the day. There is a home and a school version available, and a sports/team version I believe is in the works. Read more about the author, Katie Woods, below, and about the amazing impact A Simple Seed journal is making through its implementation in many schools throughout the United States, and even overseas!

A look back at our first #JuryforJoy - the long-term citizens-jury focused on culture and creativity for West Cumbria. I don’t think there is a single or fixed way as to how methods around how collective decision making can or should be used in relation to arts, culture or culture-led development but as a relatively new-comer to use of deliberative democracy it seems obvious now that these processes make just things better, be that commissioning, creating, programming, whatever. In every project I’ve ever worked on (and happy to take my part of the blame here) consultation plays a role but there is a massive degree of variance as to how that process may inform or influence any outcomes. I think perhaps for too long place-based practice has been rooted in someone (curator, producer or planner) interpreting a version of a place rather than enabling that place to be its unfiltered self and use that as the starting point for any work, always build from the ground up. It feels like things are changing and a real momentum behind that change, am especially excited to see how networks like #CitizensInPower are going inform how things are done as in the future.

https://lnkd.in/eM4ZH9Xa March Public Workshop with Christopher Schaefer Ph.D. In this workshop we will explore the qualities of conversation and the threshold experiences we can have in dialogue with others and with the spirit. Rudolf Steiner suggested that the more we can practice a conscious dialogue with the spirit in groups the more quickly the earth and human culture would be spiritualized. What did he mean and how can we best practice sacred conversation in our life?
