Thin Places Mystical Tour of Ireland
Tour Dates: Spring 2011 – May 15th – May 24th
*Departure from U.S. required May 14th, 2011
Thin Places Concept-
The term thin place comes from the pre-Christian culture in Ireland and refers to a place where the veil between this world the “other world” or the “eternal world” is thin. Old tales tell of people and beings of the other world being able to pass back and forth between worlds in thin places.
Every person will identify a thin place differently. A thin place is sensed differently that our present world – you cannot see it, touch it, hear it, smell it, or taste it. Our sense of a thin place transcends the physical limitations of our five senses.

February 8, 2010 @ 5:19 pmI also would like to see this tour @ different times of the year. Due to work commitments my travel window is limited.
I would be interested in this tour @ the end of October.

March 19, 2010 @ 5:49 pmThis trip sounds wonderful and I would love to go, but I have no one to go with due to job losses and all. Do you have single’s accomodation or do you pair up people?
Thank you.

April 18, 2010 @ 12:31 pmI would also be interested in pairing up with someone to save on the single supplement! Preferably someone who does not smoke or snore!
