Re: A trip to sacred sites in northwestern Scotland.
A small group, not more than 8 under the leadership of Jeff and Kimberly Sayward who have studied and written about labrynths in the Uk for many years.
The dates are June 22nd to July 6th, thereby benefiting from being there at the time of the Summer Solstice. Places to be visited (starting in Glasgow) are Argyll, Iona, the Inner and Outer Hebrides (including Callinish and other monuments), the Orkneys and Findhorn.
Travel in a van, stopping at small hotels and B&B's
Two people needed to fill the bill.
If interested, contact Jeff at jeffsaward@gmail.com or Kimberly at klsaward@googlemail.com
5. An early alert re a party to celebrate the 100th Anniversary of the Gaelic Society of Vancouver, B.C. on May 3rd. More later but remember this date. It will be a grand party!
