The Chiron Centre, based in the heart of Ruthin, in the beautiful Vale of Clwyd, is offering in 2008, a four-season celebration of earth and life seen through many diverse interpretations, so that we may collectively and individually embrace, re-kindle, and re-connect with forgotten themes of life which are vital to our wellbeing.
