During this tour we will consider uplifting lines in poems like ‘The Peninsula’ and ‘Postscript’ while also exploring the sense of uncertainty Heaney felt throughout his career. Afterwards, there will be a guided mindfulness session which we hope will leave you with a sense of calm along with useful practices for handling life’s more challenging moments.
