The most recent development at An Gáirdín Beo, Carlow is the creation of a Cosmic Walk.
We celebrate 10 years in existence this year so it is fitting that the official launch of the Walk will be part of our 10-year celebration.
The Cosmic Walk Ritual was designed to provide some sense of the Deep Time and Space of the Universe Story. This great mysterious story is still unfolding. What gave the initial spark of life remains a mystery. The creative power of this mystery is expressed in the first flaring forth of the original fireball over 13.8 billion years ago.
The universe story relates the unfolding of the universe, planet earth, the emergence of life and our own evolutionary story.
The story reveals the wisdom of:
- Science
- Mysticism
- Indigenous People
- Classical Learning
We have chosen 14 different stations to represent the major sequential stages of our evolutionary narrative.
We now invite you to reflect on the illustrations and allow yourself to be drawn into the mystery of this amazing journey. To view the illustrations, please click here.
We acknowledge Signiatec, Kiltorcan Business Park, Ballyhale, Co Kilkenny for their creative artistic design of the 14 stations.
The original idea of a Cosmic Walk came from Miriam MacGillis, Genesis Farm, New Jersey, U.S.A.
