The Essence of Luxury: Silence and Stillness In the fast-paced world we live in, luxury often finds its true essence in silence and stillness. It's remarkable how some brands have positioned themselves to capture this essence so effectively in their branding and marketing strategies. Capturing the essence of luxury through silence and stillness in branding and marketing is not just about aesthetics; it's about understanding the deeper desires of the consumer. It's about offering them a refuge, a moment of peace amidst the chaos. This is where true luxury lies. As we continue to evolve in our marketing strategies, it's essential to remember that sometimes, less is more. Embracing silence and stillness can elevate a brand, creating a timeless appeal that resonates deeply with those who seek not just products, but profound experiences.

Mendelssohn Symphony no. 5: A fat, bristly animal In my pre-concert talk on Mendelssohn's Reformation Symphony, I explained why he composed it (the clue is in the nickname), and why it was the last of his symphonies to be published. Here's the short version:

New Release from Bernhard Living - From Here to There https://lnkd.in/ecqY5KWD The ‘From Here to There’ album consists of three experimental tone-based compositions that explore the use of different harmonic structures in non-traditional musical forms. Composition 2023.02 (Untitled) consists of a single line moving in semi-tones and minor thirds - within a pitch range between A1 to C3. It suggests never ending permutation and endless movement through time. Composition 2023.03 (Untitled) is based on a seven-note tone-cell of C - C# - D - D# - E - F# - A# - and which appear as two-note and three-note chords - with the chords repeating from moment to moment. Composition 2023.09 (Untitled) is based on the chord sequence (changes) from John Coltrane’s 1960’s jazz composition ‘Giant Steps’. The title "From here to there" as a philosophical concept that encapsulates several themes and interpretations. Philosophically - this phrase can signify the process of change and transformation. It highlights the journey from one state of being or understanding to another. This can be related to the development and evolution of ideas - or broader social changes. It can also refer to the passage of time - where "here" represents the present moment and "there" represents the future.

Eimear Noone I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart, for this incredible interview. Everyone should listen to this - especially any women/men interested in bringing equity, equality and changing work-culture for us to thrive. To the two Marys and Enda Grace wowser! This is the most beautiful podcast - and I sense it will have a huge following - it is so beautiful, the way you both create and hold the space for real conversations on things that really matter. Enda Grace truly wonderful! Eimear Noone I have admired you from afar for years online. Probably, safe to say, a girl crush! Your presence has always caught me. But now I know why:- You are an incredible bright light, I think you are a real life trailblazer - the essence of our great lands ancestral change-makers and mystics is not dead but so alive in you. You carry the essence and join the incredible great women that have shone brightly on the world stage, Grace O'Malley, Nano Nagle, Caroline Casey, Mary McAleese, Mary Robinson come to mind. Thank you for showing us what is possible when you stand in your truth, be full of integrity, have the courage to walk the path, the ripple you can have on the world stage and the legacy when one does. But, I want to thank you all personally, this interview has brought up lots for me. Funny, just like you, Mary, I was told the same when I joined law. I went on to qualify too and experienced first hand the inequity and unfairness of the legal system as a woman. Just like you Eimear Noone I miscarried. Mine inflicted by working too hard and not minding myself. Unfortunately, I too needed to file a Gender Equality case, post my miscarriage. A very challenging experience, considering I was a a founding equity owner and director. As part of the process, I filed multiple proceedings in the high court and commercial court. My case settled and the Non-Disclosure Agreement signed just weeks before the birth of my second child. The settlement monies I received were lodged while I lay in hospital after delivering, with my beautiful little boy. For some weeks now, I have been with and reflecting on the role of Non-Disclosure Agreements and the silencing that happens with that? I also have been reflecting on what we voice things safely, as a means for change and do that in a collective, safe way. One of the things and main drivers and essence of the The Dialogue Code This is very alive with me, with the recent death (suspected suicide)of the lawyer Valerie - who was doing 18 hour days and had 2 small children. It has prompted me to consider a series of dialogues for women in law, across our island, UK and perhaps in LA and to reflect on how we can bring equity and justice back into law to be truly lived, so that we can create equitable places of work for women, men, children to thrive? Much to be done, but how lucky are we - to be here when change is coming. I worked in the US in human rights law. Eimear what strength to navigate

For the 100th anniversary, there will be covered grandstands for the audience for the first time. These are currently being erected by our crew members in front of the baroque monastery church ⛪ 🛠️. They are nimble. Every move is perfect, and the grandstands are growing day by day, as you can see in the following video 😊 #eventstructures #eventbau #temporarysolutions #eventsolution #buildingbigmoments #buildingmemories #sustainability #connectingyou
