Descrizione dell'evento

As part of Powerscourt Estate’s ‘Wonder of Trees’ Samhain celebration this year, we are hosting a fundraising, discussion panel. This event is an invitation to explore how to collectively imagine a new story, one that allows the people of Ireland today, of all backgrounds and heritages, to build a more harmonious, regenerative relationship with this island.

Please feel free to read the newest article in our website, which delves into the themes we are exploring during our event. But it also goes beyond than that. It is a celebration of and standing for the values we believe are at the core of all we are doing with this charity. Through the exploration of historical evidence, lived anecdotes, and the Irish language, we hope to cultivate dialogue and inspire action that might help us recover a deeper sense of place and belonging — by reflecting on the values the Gael inferred in their relationship with nature.

What was the Gaelic connection to land like before any invasions? At what point did the Gaels themselves cease to be newcomers and begin to see themselves as truly native to Ireland? Was there once a reciprocal, mutually sustaining relationship between Gaelic society and the landscape? What might science, language, and culture reveal about the role our ancestors believed they played within the island’s ecology? And how does the Irish language — with its subtle metaphors and intricate vocabulary — open a window into the minds of those who first shaped this landscape through words?


This is a fundraising event as part of Powerscourt Estate's "Wonder of Trees" experience. However, all proceedings from this event will go to fund the GWP's next big ecological project.

Ticket-holders for our talk have free entry to the gardens. Our talk is not recommended for audiences under 13 years of age.
