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.

Sabbatical Programme 2026
An Tairseach’s ten-week residential Sabbatical programme offers a deep-dive into theology, science and ecology - and an extended time of spiritual rest to nourish the soul.
We were at a threshold [‘An Tairseach’] or crossroads as a human community, between an old world view and an emerging world view.
