Join us in the garden of Ireland at the beautiful Ecology Centre, An Tairseach, in Wicklow Town for this unique experience. John Feehan’s profound insights into the beauty and wonder of the natural world have led him to become passionate about our responsibility as humans to care for our common home. The course will consist of lectures, recognition of species, field trips in the surrounding Wicklow area and work with microscopes. There will also be time for meditation and prayer, to ponder on the miraculous in the everyday.

Diarmuid O’Murchu, “Integrating the Living Cosmology – Covid 19 and the Anthropocene”.
Tuesday 2nd November to Friday 5th November 2021
In dialogue with Diarmuid O’ Murchu the conversation this week will focus on the recent pandemic and its long-term ecological and spiritual implications. Covid 19 is an urgent call to reclaim our status as earthlings, creatures with a seven-million-year evolutionary story, now fixated on a new wave of human domination, (named by some as the Anthropocene), proving to be perilously dangerous for our future on this earth. What will it take for us to heed this global wake-up call?
