Do the meditation rock with Bob Dylan on bass!

sitAllen Ginsberg teaches meditation through song! “The trickster and teacher, Ginsberg often used humor to disarm his audience, then went in for the kill, so to speak. We may find no more pointed an example of this comedic pedagogy than his 1981 song, “Do the Meditation Rock,” recorded in 1982 as a shambling folk-rock jam above with guitarist Steven Taylor, and members of Bob Dylan’s touring band—including Dylan himself making a rare appearance on bass.” spotted on Openculture (a fantastic online treasure trove). Listen to this hilarious lesson in how to meditate by famous beat poet, Allen Ginsberg!

Why Act The Maggot?

CarpeThe next beginners acting class is open now for booking. It’s fun, it’s energetic and it’s social. It’ll get you through the winter. To find out more about the October 20th class starting in city centre click here. See what one maggot has to say about his experience.

“Act the maggot took me to a place I haven’t been since I was a child. A place of pure joy. You meet great people from all walks of life and form firm friendships. I got to express myself in a way that I could never do in any conventional adult learning scenario and it made me feel like I was 10 feet tall.”
– Shane Lynam, Director, Elearn.ie

Great team-building testimonial just in!

Team“Amy facilitated a 2-hour team building / energising session for 50 colleagues and it was an outstanding success. The group quickly lost their inhibitions and everyone got to know each other in a completely new way. Above all everyone smiled and laughed throughout the session which was talked about for weeks afterwards. Amy followed the brief given to her and I would have no hesitation in recommending Amy if you want to inject some energy and fun into your team.” Frank Keating, Pensions Administration Manager, Aon Hewitt
