Bloomsday Festival 2024<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Happenings Ireland<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>in partnership with the\u00a0James Joyce Centre<\/strong>\u00a0is proud to present\u00a0Breathe and Bloom<\/strong>, a truly unique Bloomsday celebration of health, wellness, and yoga (yes, really!) on\u00a0Sunday, June 16th at 11am in Brighton Square<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

James Joyce was born in 1882 at 41 Brighton Square. What better way to celebrate Bloomsday than by gathering where it all began! Breathe and Bloom is a unique blend of traditional Bloomsday celebrations and wellness exercises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ulysses<\/em> is not often thought about in terms of health and fitness but the novel provides a glimpse into the burgeoning wellness movement that would develop extensively in the 20th century. Leopold Bloom is conscious of his body and the need to maintain it through exercise and diet, even if he is not so vigilant in doing so! \u201cGot up wrong side of the bed,\u201d he thinks to himself. \u201cMust begin again those Sandow\u2019s exercises.\u201d His wife, Molly, also has this on her mind: \u201cI must do a few breathing exercises[.] I wonder is that antifat any good might overdo it.\u201d The event will show this often-overlooked facet of Joyce\u2019s work by combining a class by Yoga in the Park <\/strong>with a talk about health and fitness in Joyce\u2019s work as well as old-fashioned readings and songs!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The event will start with Yoga in the Park\u2019s regularly-scheduled class with Jo Collins from 11am to 12pm. It will then be followed by a half-hour talk about fitness, wellness and Joyce by Dr. Conor Heffernan, Lecturer in Sport Sociology at Ulster University. This talk will feature demonstrations of gentle stretching, dumbbell raising and deep breathing by Jo Collins. Audience participation is encouraged but not mandatory. After the talk, the park will host music and readings of Ulysses<\/em>. The audience is welcome to bring food and drink to make a nice picnic!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Schedule:
11-12<\/strong>: Happenings Yoga\u2019s Yoga in the Park class with Jo Collins.
12-12:30<\/strong>: Talk and yoga demonstration by Dr. Conor Heffernan and Jo Collins about fitness, mindfullness, and yoga in\u00a0Ulysses<\/em>.
12:30-1:30<\/strong>: Music and readings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Yoga in the Park class is \u20ac10. Dr. Heffernan\u2019s talk and the music and readings are free to the public. Tickets and information about the event can be found\u00a0here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many thanks to the residents of Brighton Square for hosting the event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Come enjoy an afternoon of yoga, mindfulness and fun in what is a Bloomsday Festival first!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Bloomsday Festival<\/a><\/strong> is organised by the James Joyce Centre in partnership with F\u00e1ilte Ireland, Dublin UNESCO City of Literature, and the Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":3649,"parent":0,"template":"","event_cats":[20],"class_list":["post-3647","events","type-events","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","event_categories-bloomsdayfestival"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nBreathe and Bloom - James Joyce Centre, Dublin, Ireland<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_GB\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Breathe and Bloom - James Joyce Centre, Dublin, Ireland\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Bloomsday Festival 2024 16 June 2024 at 11am Happenings Ireland\u00a0in partnership with the\u00a0James Joyce Centre\u00a0is proud to present\u00a0Breathe and Bloom, a truly unique Bloomsday celebration of health, wellness, and yoga (yes, really!) on\u00a0Sunday, June 16th at 11am in Brighton Square.
