From Sonairte
" Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you might miss it!" - Ferris Bueller.
In todays fast paced life pervaded with every kind of technological solution, it sometimes is easy to forget that we are all biological creatures. It is essential that we take time to relax and unwind in order to keep ourselves healthy and on top form.
Much of consumer society is aimed at our more physical needs, often at the expense of our emotional and spiritual needs. At Sonairte, providing a place where we can reflect on life is an integral part of the purpose of the centre. Taking a walk along the woodland trail, or just sitting and marvelling at the beauty and simplicity of the natural world, offers us an opportunity to slow down and catch our breaths.
It is this very environment that makes people want to work here for free - the rewards being the fresh air, the satisafction of working towards a common goal and, of course, a good dose of healthy exercise. It is also a place that fosters creativity and allows everyone to input their ideas into worthwhile projects that help sustain the centre.
