Positive Nights Presents: Concert of Love with Jack Harrison
by Admin February 28, 2018 February 9, 2018
Facebook Page| Wednesday, February 28th, 2018, 7:30pm | Eur 20 / 15 euros concession | Location: The Powerscourt Theatre, Dublin 2.
Following last year's successful visit of the acclaimed yoga teacher, musician and folklorist Jack Harrison, we are thrilled to have him back at Positive Nights to perform his beautiful music!
Jack first encountered yoga in the 1970s and 1980s in San Francisco. After leaving the U.S., he began to work with the Irish Wheel of Yoga in Galway. He launched his career as a yoga teacher in 2005. Throughout his career, he has travelled extensively and studied a wide range of yoga styles, including Iyengar, Satyananda, Ashtanga and Anusara.
Jack has also had a keen interest in music and singing since his childhood. He holds a Masters degree in Irish Folklore and Archaeology and has worked for many years as a consultant and lecturer in Heritage Interpretation. He recently began to understand the deep connections between his three interests – yoga, music, and folklore/archaeology – and established the Celtic School of Yoga to help tie together the yoga traditions of India with those of the Celtic world.

Positive Nights Presents: Songs From the Hazelwood with Jack Harrison

Please note that due to poor weather conditions today on Wednesday February 28th, we moved the date of this event to Thursday March 29th. All tickets purchased for the 28th of February will of course still be valid for the new date. If you have any questions or concerns, please email us at positivenights@gmail.com.
We will also be serving some delicious Chaga Tea, a special kind of tea with some amazing health benefits. Chaga Tea Ireland founder Philip says, "I discovered Chaga after years of experimenting with different diets due to a Crohns condition. My first cup of Chaga had quite an impact. The taste was the first surprise. It had a deliciously rich earthy flavour similar to coffee. Then there was the effect. An hour later I felt energised yet calm, with a clarity similar to the effects of coffee, but without the buzz." More information can be found at chagatea.ie.

A Beautiful Review: Deva Premal & Miten in Dublin
by Admin October 6, 2017 January 24, 2018
By Alison McEvoy
As the first sound emerged from Deva on the night of her concert in Dublin, I felt my body respond
with shivers of delight. It was as if I were shaking off some of life's dust which had gathered around me. Each note vibrated with a palpable out-pouring of emotion, devotion and love. My body, my face, broke open into a smile that lasted even after I'd laid my head on my pillow, at the end of the
night.
Magical, mythical and memorable, the stage perched Deva, Miten, Manose and musical crew under
the arch of a beautiful, Arabic doorway. As the night went on we entered further and deeper…into
the magic and immersed ourselves in the ancient memories stirred by the music and chants. We were no longer 'audience' and they 'performers' – we were fellow travellers, fellow seekers, fellow divine beings. We chanted together, meditated through mantra together, sang harmonies, greeted each other and gazed into the eyes of as many seated around us as possible. Towards the end of the night, as many as could gathered round the stage, some crying, others laughing, couples embracing; everyone swaying, absorbed and touched, each in our own way, by this beautiful invitation we had been given – to be ourselves, to be present, to be as One.
At Mitens' song All is Welcome here, my friend beside me broke into tears. To arrive as we were, some from work, from home, from fray, from quarrel….and to find ourselves graced with joy, laughter, togetherness and with an explicit welcome for all of who we are and what we carry, was powerful. In that moment of acceptance was relief, joy and freedom.
This is more than just a concert – if you'd like it to be. You may come to tap your foot, hum, sing and
have an enjoyable night, but chances are it will be much more, than that.
Check their upcoming concert dates here and experience the beauty live!

Smirit Kaur is celebrating though her 2017 European Tour that which we all have in common: the human heart, the human blood, the human voice, and the universal language of music that brings us all together.
Vocalist and songwriter Simrit Kaur is originally from Athens, Greece, later adopted into the United States and raised in South Carolina by another Greek family. Simrit was born into a lineage of beloved Greek women singers, going all the way through her great-grandmother. Drawing on the harmonic beauty of the Greek Orthodox chants she grew up adding the pulse and melodic sensibilities of West African traditions she studied intensely. Simrit and her ensemble tease out distinct facets of devotional poetry and the intimate ardors of the spirit on "Songs of Resilence".
Her sound is hailed world wide as haunting, hypnotic, healing and majestic. Her voice communicates with so much humanity. Songs of Resilience is her fifth album released and it has topped World Music Charts. With her enchanting voice and music Simrit has established her place in the world of Kundalini and yogic music.
Songs of Resilence Global Unity Tour is kicking off in April 2017. Simrit and her ensemble will be playing older favourites as well as the newer songs. Her ensemble features Salif Bamakora on kora, Tripp Dudley on percussion, Shannon Hayden on cello and guitar and Jared May on bass guitar.
Yoga and chanting have an incredible capacity to open us in profound ways, to peel away the layers of fear and hesitation, opening us to the essence of who we are. Part of dwelling in that truth is finding our own unique way of living in service, of carrying the healing we receive from our practice out into the world. As yogis we live in an active state of compassion. We practice yoga to have the courage and strength to live with an open heart and serve others. Join Simrit Kaur and her band for an experience of Kundalini Yoga, live music and deep reflection to tap into the most genuine way for your soul to live as a healing presence.

Buddha Bag Meeting: Heartsongs with Kevin James
by Admin June 9, 2016 June 7, 2016
Facebook Event Page | Location: Central Hotel Dublin, McClelland Room, Exchequer Street, Dublin 2. | Thursday, June 9th, 8pm
Kevin James, Kim Kindersley and Friends return from Bali for another magical night at Buddha bag. An evening of singing, chanting, and heartfelt connection. The chanting of mantras expands your awareness beyond the thinking mind, enabling you to have a direct connection to your divine presence.
Kevin James' Heart Songs, are designed for this purpose. The mantras are universal and weave in the English translations or are in English or other languages, yet remain very simple so that anyone can catch on even if it is their first time chanting.
Kevin believes it's all about holding space and being an empty vessel for the heart of every one to unite or unify.
"Within every song there is room for freedom, where the different choruses can overlap and it's my intention to lead the group to a point where there is no leader anymore. A space where everyone is guided by their own heart, where we are all singing as one voice. This leaves the participants feeling empowered and part of a unified whole, it gives us all a direct experience of the reality of who we are beyond our thinking mind."
Please note this event is in a different location (see above). Doors open at 7:45pm. Event starts at 8:00pm. Book now as this will be a big one! Email us at buddhabagmeeting@gmail.com
More about Kevin
Kevin is an independent musician who at the age of 21 was introduced to the teachings of the east. He tells us: "I walked away from the beginning of a music career, feeling there was something more I needed to share with music, but not knowing what it was, just knowing within myself that I wasn't ready. My heart lead me towards exploring the world. I ended up disconnecting from mainstream culture for ten years. […] The way of the heart has led me to do this work of re-connection through sitting in circle and chanting universal heart mantras. I am facilitating mantras of devotion and prayer, with a universal approach that is applicable to the growing movement of people who are interested in what we all have in common, rather that our differences. Who wish to celebrate our unity, regardless of our beliefs."
