For over twenty years, our hilltop organic farm in Wicklow Town has produced chemical-free food and provided a safe-haven for wildlife. The hives are humming, and our native and planted woodlands continue to flourish under the stewardship of our organic farmers, gardeners and eco-volunteers.

The Gardened Soul
With David White
Human beings often get it wrong. For example, we like to think we are always in charge; always in control; always the ones to end up on top. The spirituality of gardening challenges this misguided nonsense, roots us deeper in the ground of our being and makes clear the interconnectedness of everything that exists within our inner and outer worlds. This lens also shows us that the garden cultivates us more than the other way around. This becomes all the more apparent, when we accept gardening as an embodied contemplative practice as we are led into an experience of more, whatever that might mean for an individual. The garden leads to more as it cultivates us.

Natural Dyeing & Stamping
With Moira Byrne & Lorna Lafferty
Learn to dye cotton using simple natural materials that can be found in our rich Autumnal harvest. As your dyed patterns take shape, you’ll be invited to explore a stamping practise.

The Wisdom of Flowers Through Seasons
With Brid Kennedy
Join us as we explore the Divine-human transformation that happens when we appreciate flowers. Taking precious moments to consider and contemplate them in depth, enriches our souls, as it reminds us of who we are as humans and to care for Mother Earth
We were at a threshold [‘An Tairseach’] or crossroads as a human community, between an old world view and an emerging world view.
