One day/weekend Workshops for adults
These workshops offer a range of activities that seek to explore the creative essence.
This might be through movement, drama, music, meditation and many other activities.
While processes/techniques vary they work towards bringing about awareness of potential
and the opportunity to expand into that potential. The facilitators of the workshops
are experienced and highly skilful in their specialised areas. The setting offers
a relaxed atmosphere that participants regularly comment on finding peaceful and
uplifting. For details of specific upcoming
workshops see...
Training/Staff development for staff groups
Staff training and development days in Croí Anú are facilitated by the centre director
Mary Pat Moloney. These range from team building, goal setting, coping with change
in changing times and creative evaluation. While specific workshops are on offer
all of these workshops/training days can be adapted to the specific needs of a group
to help gain maximum benefit from their time in Croi Anu. Links are made from the
creative work to the workplace so that insights, understanding and agreements go
back to the workplace. For details of sample
workshops see...
On-Going Courses
Croí Anú is grateful to Kildare County Council through the Arts service for providing funding for the “Herstory”
project in 2008 and 2009. “Herstory” was a project in which a group
of women worked collectively to express a communion of her story, the work culminated
in an interactive exhibit. “Herstory- The Voice” in ongoing until April 2010, this is a passionate group of women exploring individually and collectively their authentic voice.
Croí Anú welcomes two groups that are from the Older Voices programme, "Aging with Confidence" and "Voices through Art" both run for eight weeks from March- May 2010. These courses use a Community Education approach and include a variety of interactive methods including self reflection, groupwork and discussion.
Co. Kildare Community Education Service (CES) & Kildare LEADER Partnership (KLP) are working together to train a pool of Community Arts Facilitators who they will draw from to work with Community Groups in Co. Kildare. This course is Fetac Level 5 accredited "Community Art Practice". This course began in Feb 2010 and runs for 17 weeks. This is a very exciting project as it will bring energised, highly skilled facilitators back into the community.
Croí Anú is grateful to County Kildare VEC through the Back to Education Initiative for funding the Organic food and Personal Effectiveness Fetac Level 4 modules running until June 2010..
Creative Mentoring
These are individual sessions which provide the opportunity to bring about a greater awareness. Creativity is the tool in different forms that helps allow us to be in the moment, let go of old patterns that no longer serve us. It might be paint, clay, movement, music or sound as as used as the assisting tool. The mentor works intuitively with the forms to discern what will be of most benefit given the needs of a particular individual in a specific moment. The sessions can help identify what that life we want to create looks like and when this has been identified the initial steps to bring change so that it can manifest. This process can be fun, challenging and can for many it is a wonderful way of accessing what is essential.
