Who are the guides?

Scoil Scairte gathering is an immersion in the psyche and soul of a powerful people and place, guided by Kathy Scott and a collective of bilingual artists, activists, educators, culture bearers, indigenous language advocates, and global wisdom keepers. 

Kevin Whelan, Theo Dorgan, Diarmuid Lyng, Timmy Creed, Annemarie Ní Churreáin, Michael Gallen, Lucy O'Hagan, Emma Dabiri, Colm Mac Con Iomaire, Niall Morahan, Pat McCabe (Woman Stands Shining), Siobhan O’Kelly, Seosamh Mac Seoin, Ajeet, Liam O'Maonlai, Leah Song (Rising Appalachia),  Jenny Ní Ruiséil, Domhan, Aine Tyrrell and Ceara Conway

This is a world-class cultural faculty, the likes of which no other learning experience in Ireland offers. These respected voices across the arts and culture spectrum centre the Irish language and position everything else in relationship to it. We also host indigenous wisdom keepers from around the world. Each guide tends the flame of tradition, honouring the old ways in new ways. 

This is a world-class cultural faculty united by a commitment to living language and cultural repair.
