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.

An Tairseach 2026 Calendar
Our 2026 calendar is a love note to the biodiverse richness of Co. Wicklow. Every species on these pages is one you might find on a walk through the Wicklow mountains, through our bogs and our forests, and as you meander along the riverbeds and our extensive seashores. We hope this calendar will inspire you on your nature walks, as you deepen your relationships with the more-than-human world. We hope that as you stop to notice the leaves, insects and berries, that the spirit of love in the heart of all living things replenishes your spirit. May your time in nature strengthen your faith, help you to set your eyes on love, beauty and all things good. Price: €15. To place an order, please call 0404 61833 or email: info@antairseach.ie
Imbolc 2026
With Patrick-Joseph, Kate Murphy & Mel O'Driscoll
There's a revival happening and countless people are coming home to and reclaiming their Christian faith. The world is a precarious place and people are meaning making beings. We look for the deeper truth behind life and many realise that the shallow, click bait society of instant gratification isn't attending to their deeper human needs. In a culture that is being rapidly excelled by technology there's a deep humanism in the tradition of our forebearers that offers a balm of dignity and a personal love that we are all desperately in need of.
Sabbatical Programme 2026
Our Sabbatical Programme rests upon three pillars that nurture the ongoing vitality of our lives: study, community, and practice. Facilitators from the An Tairseach Staff as well as guest lecturers will accompany us on this journey. The Sabbatical Programme will include inputs on the Universe Story, evolutionary theology, ecology, cosmology and theology. We’ll enter the multiple dimensions of these contexts, reflecting on the wisdom, challenge, and invitation they extend to us today through a Christian lens.
We were at a threshold [‘An Tairseach’] or crossroads as a human community, between an old world view and an emerging world view.
