Healing Spirit Festival to take place

Join the opening of Bridget’s Thatched Cottage and the launch of the Ruaille Buaille Druma, Ireland’s largest hand crafted wooden community drum, at the Healing Spirit Festibal which takes place in Cavan tomorrow, May 4.

Taking place from 2 to 8pm and honouring the ancient Celtic festival of Bealtaine, the festival takes place at Drumann Spirit near Milltown.

Crafted by Mícheál Ó Raghaill, the fibreglass and wooden drum is set to become an attraction at Gearóid and Lorraine Teevan’s Healing Spirit festival.

"After 40 years of quiet anticipation the heart of Bridget’s thatched cottage is reborn, reigniting its warmth and spirit in a beautifully restored hearth. This year we will gather to celebrate Bealtaine in the lovingly restored cottage, where the fire that once brought love and warmth to many will be rekindled in a special ceremony “Reigniting the Flame”. The cottage which has been thoughtfully restored with care and respect for tradition, will once again become a sacred space where community connection and new beginnings can blossom."
