💛 Heart full thanks to all who joined me for the first screening of The Future has an Ancient Heart last Sunday at Mermaid Arts Centre My intention for this project is to offer the film as a space for reflection, a slowing down of time, perhaps a re-membering…with post screening gatherings le chéile for exchange and in other cases making with our hands…as a way to think into our ecological selves and our relationships with the others we share Earth with Míle buíochas to poet @gracelittlesanctuaryennistymon who held the post screening conversation space so eloquently and warmly on Sunday. To guest contributors author and activist @wildmarymary; diviner & guide Colin Campbell; multi disciplinary artist & forager @samyelyel for an invigorating & heartfelt conversation which opened out to all in the room. It touched on interwoveness, taking action patch by patch of land, both the inflamed and enlivened times we are living though, the potency of collective experience, foraging together, access to land and more Míle Buíochas also Ciara Brehony, Elida Maiques who I work with as Moss Collective, for lovingly prepared snacks with foraged and locally grown ingredients during the interval..wild garlic from Knocksink Woods, sméara dubha from Bray Head, fucus serratus from Bray Beach, apples from Florrie’s and Finn’s gardens Deep thanks to @artscouncilireland and @wicklowarts @wicklowcoco funding the project through the Strategic Project Award Scheme. And to the brilliant team @mermaidartscentre for the support for this project from the start Last and by no means least, to all the artists who are part of the ecosystem of the film, more about them soon!

A wonderful Sunday spent yesterday at the Mermaid Arts Centre for the launch of Joanna Kidney’s new film, ‘The Future Has an Ancient Heart’ 💛🐌🌿 We shared lovely homemade food, grown and foraged locally by Moss Collective, and an inspiring conversation with Grace Wells, Mary Renolds, Sam Arnold Keane and Colin Campbell, ranging from rewilding and guardianship, to foraging and access to land. What a day full of attentiveness, conversation, community and a little bit of plotting! Thank you @joanna_kidney for the vision and for bringing everyone together on a gorgeous afternoon in sunny Bray after the rains 🫶

June 2026. This is the second retreat I’ve organized in Ireland and it won’t be the last😮‍💨 “Retreat” isn’t the right word either because the word would indicate that we fall back…but really we immersed, learned, sat with, sang, listened, foraged, cried, prayed, painted, LAUGHED! We nestled into the countryside near the beautiful seaside town of Bantry. We foraged with (the best) local herbalists along the sea, learned and sang traditional songs in the Irish language, shared stories of our precious ancestors that had or chose to leave. We found pieces of them…and in doing so, experienced more of ourselves and the culture from which we came, the language that lives in our veins, reclaiming parts of ourselves and our past. We sung our songs to the land as an offering, and put our own home soil into the Ireland soil as a way to weave our inner connectedness. We spent time with local Irish musicians and storytellers. Deep bow to the wise @lydia.ie for joining me in facilitating our opening evening ceremony. To chef Hannah and Bethany for their one of a kind sister kitchen Witchery. And Karen Minihan, @jen.doran.herbalist , @samyelyel , and @caitniriainmusic for being such beautiful and wise companions and masters of your craft for us to witness on this trip. And of course, to Mary Mclaughlin who has been my dear mentor and teacher of these beloved traditional Irish songs. I am so honored to be a lifelong student of traditional Irish music, I feel my ancestors Irish eyes smiling at the return of this music to their bloodline. If this tickles your fancy, there are two ways to connect in this way soon. There are still spaces available in my Oct 2026 Irish singing workshop at Kripalu in Massachusetts from Oct 25-28th. OR you can stay tuned through the link in my bio for upcoming irish singing online classes and retreats. Additionally I have one more 1:1 space for a client ready to step into their vocal odyssey. With deep reverence and gratitude to the souls who gathered with me in Ireland to make the week such a deep and raw journey. This trip will live in us all forever. Le grá mór🌀💚🙏🏻 Áine #irelandretreat #ireland #seannós

Is saghas chic é a beith ag foráiste feamainn, nach ea? It’s kind of chic to forage seaweed, right? Another amazing seaweed foraging workshop by Sam on Oileán Chléire for heritage week We learned so much about how our ancestors would have used what grew around them year ago, and simple ways we can start using seaweed in our lives today and the many health benefits This time we learned the process of making charcoal ink from washed up feamainn/seaweed and made some art on the beach which was such a fun process 🎨🖌️ Keep an eye out for the next forage/art/gaeilge workshop on Oileán Chléire 🌊🐠🪸🪼⚓️🐙🧜‍♀️🦦🐚
