Celtic Spirit and Literature course

A 10 week course will be taught at Queen’s University, Belfast, as part of the Open Learning Programme, on Thursdays from 11.00am to 1.00pm from 27 September to 29November.

This course will be taught by Revd Grace Clunie, Director of The Centre for Celtic Spirituality, Armagh, and Dr Tess Maguiness, Course Director of the Undergraduate Programme, QUB School of Education.

The course sets out to celebrate the rigorous and many faceted Celtic spirit – in particular, aspects of Celtic Christian identity which are inspirational for the spiritual path today – the relationship with the earth, hospitality, artistic creativity and the nomadic spirit. The literature will include ancient Irish mythology, the early Irish cleric poets, the Gaelic bards, the 18th century Anglo–Irish antiquarians, the writers of ‘the Celtic Twilight’ and more contemporary writers such as Patrick Kavanagh and Seamus Heaney.

Cost:

£58.00 (Concession: £36.00)
