Thin Places Mystical Tour of Ireland
Tour Dates: May 16 – 24, 2010
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.
