Where?

Long seen as the home of traditional Irish music, County Clare is quietly becoming the hub of a grassroots revival of other skills and an inspiring example of ecotourism along Ireland’s Wild Atlantic Way. 

Our gathering takes place on 50 acres of native forest and regenerative farmland, in the heart of the Burren & Cliffs of Moher Geopark.  Step into the wild beauty of North Clare, where limestone landscapes meet the Atlantic coast, a setting designed for experiences deeply rooted in Irish heritage, nature, and sustainability.

The Common Knowledge Centre is itself a living embodiment of the sustainable practices taught in the Centre’s world-renowned skill-sharing courses. Your home away from home is shaped by intentional craft and held by the wisdom of the land.

Recognised by Condé Nast as one of the “Best Places to Go in Europe” and named among Ireland’s most beautiful stays, Common Knowledge is more than a venue. It is an award-winning, non-profit social enterprise dedicated to regeneration, land stewardship, and skill-sharing. Guests participate in a vision of a more sustainable, connected, and empowered Ireland, learning, practicing, and weaving together ecology, craft, and community.

Their resident chefs bring passion and care to every meal, creating dishes that are both wholesome and deeply satisfying. Guided by the Centre’s ethos of sustainability, the Ottolenghi trained chef draws from local, seasonal, and organic produce whenever possible including fresh ingredients harvested from the Centre’s own permaculture gardens. A thoughtfully chosen selection of natural and organic wines is available to accompany the meals, offering a gentle complement to the flavors of the season and the spirit of the place.
