Dervish has received a prestigious lifetime achievement award from the BBC, a fitting tribute to the band after over 30 years of recording and performing all over the world. Described by the BBC as “an icon of Irish music”, the band have played at festivals from Rio to Glastonbury. They accompanied the Irish President on state visits to Latvia and Lithuania and Prime Minister of Ireland on a trade mission to China as Cultural Ambassadors taking time out to play an impromptu session on the Great Wall of China. Dervish have a line-up which includes some of Ireland’s finest traditional musicians, fronted by one of the country’s best-known singers, Cathy Jordan. The Guardian newspaper commented: “Dervish are simply brilliant. . they carry
Irish history with them.” Dervish are long-established as one of the biggest names in Irish music internationally. They’re renowned for live performances, which match dazzling sets of tunes with stunning
interpretations of traditional songs. Their studio and live albums – 13 to date – make up one of the outstanding catalogues in Irish music.

Join us for our monthly meeting + meditation for the Live From Love Center Peace Project. Sunday 4/5 at 11:30am in person.

What’s the deal? With so much upheaval and division in the world, we were feeling overwhelmed, asking ourselves, “What can we do to promote peace and higher frequencies of well-being and love for all?”

“How do we not get locked into patterns of fear, terror and separation?”

“How do we influence the collective frequency through our thought, intention, awareness and action?”

What we decided: To start the “Live From Love Peace Project” – a monthly community meditation & awareness practice. And you’re invited!

If you:
– Are exhausted with division and want to feel part of something greater.
– Have experienced (or are curious) about the power of meditation, moving meditation & awareness practices.
– Want more peace, love and equanimity in your daily life.
– Want to create a ripple of peace in the world through a medium-term commitment to your practice.
– Are curious if real social change can happen through the stabilized, ongoing collective vibration of love. This project is for you.

Join us Sunday, April 5th at the Live From Love Center in Bremen, Maine.

During this time, we will share what you’ve been noticing about peace in your life and do a group meditation for peace.

We would love to have you join us!
