Charming, inspiring, insightful and informational story of fictional characters visiting present day Ireland. Travelers gather at the Shannon airport to begin a tour of ancient sites of Ireland. Timothy, their very Irish bus driver, calls their intended visit a trip to the very heart of the Celtic spirit-to thin places, as the Irish would say. The guides offer morning spiritual connection, days of touring, and evenings with pub sing-alongs, dances, and storytelling. Each is drawn to a different aspect of Celtic spirituality and each experiences the powerful energies of the land. A Canadian couple comes for the Celtic music; a woman from Boston comes to honor the Irish saints; another comes to connect with her childhood love of fairies. A young widower brings his teenage son in hopes of healing. A retiring professor seeks inspiration for the next phase of her life. A busy mom seeks quality time with her teenage daughter and another with her adolescent son. Few anticipate the degree of transformation they will experience. Join them in learning about Ireland, these thin places, Celtic spirituality, and the emergence of the Divine Feminine as their stories unfold with healing and romance.

About the Author:

The Author, Jeanne Crane. My first trip to Ireland was as a teenager. I immediately felt a deep connection to my Celtic roots. But, it was on a much later trip that I was introduced to the ancient sites, the dolmens, standing stones and beehive structures that so intrigue me. These places stirred me beyond any cathedral, temple or sacred site I had ever visited. While Unitarian Universalism provides my spiritual home, Celtic spirituality is at the heart of my spiritual transformation. My own calling has been as life coach, organizational consultant and facilitator of change. Helping individuals and organizations develop their potential and open to emergent challenges has been the thread running through all I do. See JeanneCrane.com for more on that work. The inspiration to write this book came to me while in deep meditation at Glendalough. I sensed the need to tell a story of the universality of Spirit, the desperate need for us all to reconnect to Mother Earth, the Divine Feminine, and to commit ourselves to peace, love, and the will to live sustainably. For me the power of the Celtic lands and the Celtic spirit have been a wonderful source of inspiration. I hope this book gives you a sample of that Spirit as you take this wee journey to visit the thin places of Ireland with me. Celtic Blessings, Jeanne Crane 2012
