What You’ll Experience
In these two free online sessions, you’ll meet the core Scoil Scairte team and get a real taste of how we approach the Irish language.
An Ghaeilge is not just as a subject to study, but a living portal to identity, culture and connection.
Here’s what we’ll explore together:
✦ Resources to help you revitalize your connection to Ireland’s wild spirit
✦ A trauma-informed, body-based way of (un)learning that brings the language alive through breath, movement and sound
✦ What it means to unravel colonial patterns and rewire old stories around shame, silence, and separation
✦ How the Irish language invites us into a web of relationship with land, lineage, and the more-than-human world
✦ The importance of community, creativity and craic in reclaiming what was lost and reimagining what’s possible

A Collective Act of Remembrance
Imagine yourself speaking a little Irish each day, feeling rooted in your cultural
heritage and embraced by a community that celebrates you as an ancestor-in-training.
In a world shaped by rupture, this is an act of cultural repair.
Reclaim your dúchas. Let your wild essence rise.
