Re-Wilding Within Us & Around Us
restoration of natural free spirit within and surroundings

With a ‘rewilding’ title we may first think about letting part of our gardens go back to nature, go back to being wild. The wonderful community of ‘We Are the Ark’ encouraged by Mary Reynolds has beautifully popularized this. If we live in gardenless apartments, then we may encourage our local councils to not be so manicuring on public green spaces and let the biodiversity there have it’s freedom.

This ‘Nature Folklore’ session goes more intimately into changes we may need to accomplish within ourselves first. We may love the current ‘rewilding concepts’ but our inner culture and mindset remains on a ‘neat and tidy’ quest so any rewilding we do may be a sort of ‘test the waters’ approach.

So through this ‘Nature Folklore’ sessions we will explore, with some reference to folklore, how our living can be less control motivated, more adaptive and us feeling less stress and more aware from being so. 

Where is that middle point between being an ‘influencer’ and ‘disciple’?

How can what seems like ‘chaos’ actually become our longed for journey ‘home’?  

Of course some ‘We Are The Ark’ style tips will be included in this session too.  

What are your visions and experiences of rewilding, inside and around you? Please sshare your stories and poems connected to all realms of re-wilding. Do contact me so we can share them on this Sunday?

And there will be a questions and response session too.

Next Nature Folklore Sessions Live - Sunday 12th September, at 2pm Irish Time Watch here Live! ... or watch the archive later (click pic to set reminder) Tree Sanctuaries Autumn Gathering support for Your Tree Sanctuary desires A time and opportunity to recap on where we are with our Tree Sanctuaries and Tree Sanctuary ideas. This is a time when trees are truly turning colour around us in many places where we live. It is also a time we start to think about and plan our next tree planting season between November and March. This year I will talk about changes that I feel we need to make regarding our attitude and expectations of Tree Planting.  This includes encouraging nature's own regeneration planting and not being in such a rush or over ambitious with our own planting.                                                                                                                                     This also serves as a follow up to our March 'Us An

Crom Dubh Legends

This is part two of a two part Nature Folklore session exploring the folklore and mythologies of Crom Cruach and Crom Dubh. It is a challenge to separate the two as similar tales are told of both legends. But it does seem that the Crom Dubh mythology arrived later than the reverence for Crom Cruach as a god. The tales of Crom Cruach and Crom Dubh are very intertwined these days. Though nobody really knows the origins and details of either I am going to approach this as Crom Cruach being symbolic as a bringer of harvests, and Crom Dubh as a metaphor mythology of what happens
