Goddess Gathering, 18th & 19th February, Clonakilty
Goddess Gathering aims to hold spaces for women to gather, physically & virtually, in love, to gain inspiration & strength while connecting with, & embodying, the Divine Feminine within ourselves & creating new ways of being in the world.
One of the ways in which we do this is to hold physical gatherings that are either for women only or that are focused on feminine energy; the Spring Gathering in February 2011 is a physical gathering of remarkable women in the beautiful setting of West Cork on the south west coast of Ireland.

Tomorrow, Wednesday 17th, we are having a campaign against the MSM Blood Ban. The MSM Blood Bn specifically denies men who have sex with men from giving blood. Look out for our stand on main campus tomorrow during the IBTSB Blood Drive.
We must stress that we do not mean to stop people from donating blood but want to highlight the serious discrimination that this causes.
The stand will be from 12.30-3.30…Come sign our petition!!!
