About Scoil Scairte & The Trailblazery


5,000+ participants | 8 editions | Award-winning model


This new initiative was born out of our very successful online programme Hedge School / Scoil Scairte, a 9-week journey into the heart and soul of Irish culture, heritage and language. Over the past few years, this global learning community has brought together thousands of people from Ireland and around the world to explore how language shapes how we see the world and our place in it. After witnessing the deep connection, curiosity and transformation that emerged through the digital space, we felt called to bring this experience home to the land itself. 

In the Celtic tradition, the ancient ones were deeply connected to the land, the seasons and the cycles of the natural world. We intend to

  1. Explore the indigenous wisdom of our Celtic ancestors and other wisdom lineages around the world

  2. Learn, practice and experience the power inherent in our native language, culture and traditions

  3. Be inspired to take action as a local/ global citizens and ancestor-in-training


This summer school is an immersive experience brought to you by The Trailblazery. We are the people behind Moon Medicine, Wonderlust, Census of the Heart, We Need to Talk about Ireland, Rites of Passage and the ireland : iceland project. Amidst acres of wilderness, woodland and fields we hope to slow down, recalibrate and attune to the rhythms of the natural world.
