Finding the Flow
with Mary Conroy and Grainne Murphy

This workshop aims to encourage participants to deeply connect with the river and surrounds. The workshop will begin by encouraging participants to spend time listening to, and being present with, the river through a meditation led by Grainne Murphy. The second part of the workshop will ask participants to explore the river and her surrounds to find material and inspire drawing, encouraging reflection and connection to the magic of this moving and living environment.

Please bring warm clothes or a blanket for your comfort. Yoga mats will be provided.

About:

A Magic Moving Living Thing 2025 is a return to this artist-led project by Mary Conroy which took place at Butler Gallery in 2022. This project is an eco-cultural training programme, designed to connect to communities in the North Kilkenny River Nore catchment. A series of workshops will engage participants in creative ways to reflect and connect with our human and more-than-human relationships with the river and the river catchment, through making and discussion.

A publication is planned for a launch in Autumn 2025 which will share the community voices that have engaged in this project, and the many ways that the river keepers of the River Nore connect with the river.

This event is free, but space is limited, please book a ticket to attend.

This project is supported by Kilkenny Leader Partnership.
