It was wonderful to see St Oliver’s Church full of music, movement and conversation recently as members of the local community came together for a Singing for the Brain session.
Facilitated by Ceara, the session involved much more than singing, with participants taking part in breathing exercises, movement and activities designed to engage both the body and mind. Most importantly, it provided an opportunity for people to come together, enjoy each other’s company and take part in something positive within their local community.
Founded by Fiona Flavin, Singing for the Brain uses singing and related activities to support social connection and wellbeing, with sessions taking place in communities across Cork.
Singing For The Brain
The conference will explore how parishes and communities can respond to the Cry of the Earth at this time, with a focus on practical initiatives, eco-spirituality and ways we can care for our common home together.
The event is supported by the Laudato Si' Movement and Trócaire.
More information will follow in the coming weeks.
