At the recent Dublin Book Festival, author, musician and mental health advocate Niall Breslin (Bressie) launched his powerful new book The Place That Has Never Been Wounded: A Mindful Journey Home to Yourself in the stunning surroundings of the Royal Irish Academy of Music in Dublin. The evening brought together conversation, music and reflection as Breslin took to the stage in discussion with broadcaster and wellness advocate Clare McKenna, exploring the themes behind his latest work — mindfulness, emotional resilience and reconnecting with the self. Adding to the atmosphere of the evening was a beautiful musical performance from The Polaris Quartet, with Breslin also performing at the piano, creating a powerful blend of literature and live music that resonated with the audience.
