Rude Health Week 2010 – Feb 15-21
Not actually intended to be indecent in any way, Rude Health week is a new initiative by the IAHS (Irish Association of Health Stores), that will see each health store drawing the best from local food producers and holistic therapists to bring you guys a week packed with trial consultations, tastings of artisan Irish foods and general fanfare of healthy zeal in great dollops each day for the next week. The schedule is fairly packed out in our own little store, so we’ll get straight to the run down of events…..(insert drumroll or alternatively simply make that wonderfully annoying noise with tongue)
Monday 15th February 1-6pm
Consultations with Erica Murray, founder of The Hopsack, nowadays to be found building a busy practise as a Herbalist and Iridologist locally in Rathmines.
Monday 7.30-8.30pm
The Launch Party!!
On Monday night from 7.30 pm weâre going to have a little launch party with lovely organic Spanish wine and nibbles from the Happy Pear and Ardsallagh cheesemakers. As The Hopsack has been awarded a Bridgestone Award this year we thought we would ask Caroline Byrne of the Bridgestone Guides to officiate, and guess what – she obliged!
Since our little shop is fit to burst with more than 10 people on the floor, we need to insist that those who’d like to attend send us a mail and we’ll try and count you in – we’d really love everyone to come along, but reality bites eh!
