Just This Day 2010
IMAGINE...
1,000,000 minutes of stillness for the world...
JUST THIS DAY is a global day of stillness. It goes beyond nationality, religious belief or difference and seeks to unite people in their universal capacity to be internally still.
WHAT TO DO?
Give 5 minutes to the world on Wednesday 24th Nomember 2010.
WHY?
In our fast paced, ever changing, ever moving world, stillness is much needed.
Peace for the world starts within each individual and Just This Day encourages us to re-awaken
that peace by becoming still within ourselves in order for it to manifest without.
HOW?
Go to www.JustThisDay.ie and pledge your minutes of stillness!
TEACHERS & SCHOOLS

Attendees can meet the artists informally and ask questions about their work and techniques. Also they can 'See into' the artist's studio to see how it's done and be inspired. At the event it is also possible to learn to make a piece of finished art at one of the many practical classes provided. Both adults and children are catered for.
