Part Two. ‘What did we eat?’ - So, for the next Finland update, I thought it would be fun to talk about one of my favorite things…Wild Food! As a foraging teacher and ethnobotanist, this was perhaps the most exciting part of the week for me. I often supplement my food with wild pickings but to have wild food as the staple for the week was something I’d always wanted to try and I’m really excited to do it for a longer period in the future. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fe9fc6f78f8af2b98b0e465/1609495325680-FVLRNU717NXEZIJCH0OO/87075002_2810092405703714_6398112312976211968_n.jpg Blog - Finland Stone Age Trip. Part Two. ‘What did we eat?’ - A selection of dried wild foods. From top left, clockwise: Carrageen moss, jelly ear & scarlet elf cup fungus, nettles, pendulous sedge flour, acorn flour, dulse, wild garlic. Arriving at a snow-covered North meant that I’d need to be gathering and preparing in advance of our trip. I’ve included the full list of what I had foraged from sea, woodland, meadow, hedgerow, and coast at the end of this article. Upon arrival, we were gifted with a reindeer which was killed and expertly skinned and gutted by a local Finnish reindeer herder. It was incredible to watch this man work with his knife. So much skill; it was like an extension of his arm. He knew exactly where to cut and how to cut; the knife sliced through like it was cutting silk. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fe9fc6f78f8af2b98b0e465/1609498588414-24AQLC3WVQ7GUXR5QOB9/IMG_20200221_120140-300x300.jpg Blog - Finland Stone Age Trip. Part Two. ‘What did we eat?’ - Giving thanks to the reindeer for his life. The reindeer was shot with a stun gun and then his throat cut to collect the nutrient-rich blood. The blood needs to be collected straight away as it flows out of the cut jugular vein. A birch branch was quickly fashioned into a whisk to continually whisk the blood for about half an hour to prevent it from congealing. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fe9fc6f78f8af2b98b0e465/1609496036958-TJINSF49BASZ0O73UYCN/20200225-DSC_0694.jpg Blog - Finland Stone Age Trip. Part Two. ‘What did we eat?’ - Yes- we did have pancakes on Pancake Tuesday! Our menu from the week Hare stew with nettles, burdock & dandelion roots, and wild hazelnuts Reindeer stew with dillisk, roots, berries, cauliflower fungus, and birch boletes Reindeer meat skewers Reindeer tenderloin ‘carpaccio’ with wild herbs Reindeer blood pancakes with pendulous sedge seed flour, birch bark flour, and pine pollen with lingonberries and blueberries Acorn dumplings made with Carrageen moss Reindeer blood sausage. Seasoned with cattail root flour, dillisk, dried wild plums, dried wild onion root. The last two were harvested from the states! Acorn patties fried in reindeer fat. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fe9fc6f78f8af2b98b0e465/1609496731248-ENEA6KTNECS4A3KDY7O6/81590461_2721877851191837_5145263403475927040_n.jpg Blog - Finland Stone Age Trip.

Part Two. ‘What did we eat?’ - A very useful flint Bi-face We began with the organ meat. Lungs, Kidneys, Heart, Liver, Oh, and testicles. I accidentally typed ‘Tasticles’. Apt. They were delicious. Using the flint, the outer skin is removed before cooking. These were just tossed into the pot but I’d love to experiment with them again- breading, deep-frying, battered balls? Yum! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fe9fc6f78f8af2b98b0e465/1609498047323-L8ROB50ZU6J4U4EQ5EJI/IMG_20200221_122000_1-300x300.jpg Blog - Finland Stone Age Trip.

Part Two. ‘What did we eat?’ - The collective cauldron Finally then, the tender loins, which lie between the rib cages, near the kidneys, do very little work and so, are the tenderest part of any animal. These were sliced as thinly as my flint blade would allow and sprinkled with some ‘Herbes d’Irlande’ to become a kind of Stone Age Carpaccio. I’m still dreaming about this! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fe9fc6f78f8af2b98b0e465/1609498762227-4JETNSYZE42J2JTOIC5G/81740149_2724038097642479_4847590507364220928_n-300x300.jpg Blog - Finland Stone Age Trip. Part Two. ‘What did we eat?’ - The full Stone Age wild food store Here’s a full list of what we had in our store for the week for nine adults and one child (ate more than all the adults!) Wild Stock Cubes (Inspired by Pascal Baudar) All of the following were dehydrated and powdered, then a little water added, just enough to make a kind of dough so that the ‘cubes’ could be moulded and hold together. -nettle -fermented wild garlic -Alexanders -hen of the woods -dillisk -pepper dulse- https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fe9fc6f78f8af2b98b0e465/1609508676505-V8L9Q9Y4SHG34K7LVC03/82174495_2724038037642485_1412090779119124480_n-300x300.jpg Blog - Finland Stone Age Trip.

Part Two. ‘What did we eat?’ - A Stone Age kitchen Things we bought: One block of butter per day. Enough eggs for 2 per day each. Extra nuts. Wild-harvested berries. Things we weren’t brave enough to try: The contents of the reindeer stomach. Things that surprised me: The Omasum stomach (the third stomach with all the folds) didn’t taste that bad – deep fried! Things I wouldn’t be rushing to eat again: Lungs. Thanks for reading! Next up, I’ll be looking at my clothes; what they were made from, how they were made & how they performed. All good things, Lucy x As always, huge thanks to Ana Filipa Crow for taking such captivating photographs. Check her out here! https://www.wildawake.ie/blog-3/finland-stone-age-trip-part-1 monthly 0.5 2021-03-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fe9fc6f78f8af2b98b0e465/1609515277051-HJLIPZA0ZTTD0L0GMWHJ/20200226-DSC_0107-1080x675.jpg Blog - Finland Stone Age Trip. Part 1 - Transport yourself to a place out of time. A shelter made from round wood, birch bark and reeds. Reindeer skins snuggled around you, protecting you from the biting cold outside. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fe9fc6f78f8af2b98b0e465/1609515559538-W16AL1QV9O34DOZQ4IU4/20200223-DSC_0314-300x300.jpg Blog - Finland Stone Age Trip. Part 1 - Last year, we received an invitation from Kierikki Stone Age Centre to undertake a week-long Stone Age Project as a means of promoting their center and to experience and share what winter might have looked and felt like for Neolithic peoples there. The Kierikki Centre is located along the Iijoki River on a Stone Age dwelling site that has been studied since the 1960s. The living museum is open from May-September and welcomes the public to experience the lives of our ancestors through crafts, games, exhibition,s and an on site archaeological excavation in the summer months. For this time, however, we were mostly alone, except for the odd Finnish news station which showed up to take pictures of us and ask questions. This was not a problem. We were happy to promote this amazing center and the people who work so hard to keep it alive, and also to dispel some commonly held beliefs about how our ancestors lived. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fe9fc6f78f8af2b98b0e465/1609515708179-I2D0TVK2ZPQY3ERRLEBJ/20200226-DSC_0168-300x300.jpg Blog - Finland Stone Age Trip. Part 1 - My preparation began many months ago in the form of hide tanning, clothes-making, wild food gathering and preparation and, of course, catching new songs to share with my clan. Through these writings, I’ll be sharing what I can about this experience and hopefully giving you an insight into this beautiful week spent in the frozen North. It may be good to begin with WHY I might want to do something like this. I know well enough that it’s not everyones cup of tea and the idea of sleeping outside, eating reindeer and wearing skins conjures up a range of images and opinions in people’s minds. For me, the reasons are both simple and deep-rooted. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fe9fc6f78f8af2b98b0e465/1609515876073-C7GI8U19VU876VG2B4Z8/20200223-DSC_0284-300x300.jpg Blog - Finland Stone Age Trip. Part 1 - So, what does that mean to live directly in relationship with the land? This is what Ancestral skills and living is all about for me. It’s not about looking to the past and trying to ‘re-create’ exactly what we think our ancestors did. In this way, we are not like experimental archaeologists. It is about having a deep respect for how lightly our long past ancestors lived on the earth. Learning how they lived on the earth for so long without disrupting the natural cycles, whilst also living well and abundantly from and with nature is something that can be of enormous benefit to us in this time of the Anthropocene. We can deepen this respect simply by going to the source and playing with the landscape. There are simplicity and beauty in these skills. Each one connected to the other. Like a spider’s web, you cannot pull one thread without feeling the effects ripple throughout. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fe9fc6f78f8af2b98b0e465/1609516024396-B2AFV1SSU7MS6QR08P4M/20200225-DSC_0423-300x300.jpg Blog - Finland Stone Age Trip. Part 1 - I need to catch a fish to feed myself? Well, I will need to know how to make string from plants, I will need to play with the qualities of the plants around me and figure out what holds well, is strong and pliable enough to hold a fish. I’ll need a hook. What materials offer this? A thorn from hawthorn? A bone? I’ll need some tools to make this. What rocks live here? How were they formed? What qualities do they hold and can they be shaped into a cutting blade? What will serve as my float? My lure? Imagine all the work and play that goes into a line, hook, float, lure and sinker. Imagine the joy and gratitude you must feel when a fish finally does take your worm. Your hook holds. The line pulls in dinner, fabric, nutrition. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fe9fc6f78f8af2b98b0e465/1609498523445-8VAWHKVBD1NRD7MJ8N5D/20200223-DSC_0118-300x300.jpg Blog - Finland Stone Age Trip. Part 1 - We were still technically on a holiday so of course there was time to take walks, enjoy the silence, the changing and breath-taking light and work on our own craft projects. If you were alone, there just simply wouldn’t be time for fun, play, laughter, song, exploration and deep connection. And you’d definitely be colder at night! https://www.wildawake.ie/blog-3/category/Stone+Age+Experiences monthly 0.5 https://www.wildawake.ie/blog-1 daily 0.75 2022-09-06 https://www.wildawake.ie/blog-1/ancestral-skills monthly 0.5 2021-02-04 https://www.wildawake.ie/blog-1/ethnobotany monthly 0.5 2021-02-02 https://www.wildawake.ie/blog-1/true-nature monthly 0.5 2022-09-06 https://www.wildawake.ie/blog-1/phoneix-forest monthly 0.5 2022-09-06 https://www.wildawake.ie/blog-1/wildlife-tracking monthly 0.5 2021-02-04 https://www.wildawake.ie/blog-1/wildlife-tracking-8ef4w monthly 0.5 2021-02-02 https://www.wildawake.ie/home daily 1.0 2024-11-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fe9fc6f78f8af2b98b0e465/1614118262472-6NF4AYYLP6ABQGFMHVNN/F1000015.jpg Home - Rewild Wild Awake aims to rekindle ecological and cultural resilience through the (re)learning of ancestral and traditional skills in nature. We facilitate nature-based workshops and multi-day immersions which are designed to be accessible to people from a diversity of backgrounds. We are living in a time of great social and ecological upheaval. We are ‘wired to connect’ and yet so many of us have never felt more disconnected or estranged from ourselves, our communities, and the natural world. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fe9fc6f78f8af2b98b0e465/1611040923667-IJ6AGTD6MTALYXF2LM0Y/Wild-Awake-BOD-0J4A0109.jpg Home - Reawaken Wild Awake seeks to explore how we can cultivate resilience and belonging in our communities and landscapes. Our work seeks to explore ways that we can personally and collectively decolonise and restore ancestral ways of being in relationship with the more-than-human world. We are motivated by a desire to find that which we can all belong to and link this to a future we wish to live into. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fe9fc6f78f8af2b98b0e465/1614118931689-SF938HZDV4D83EBPC0QB/katie-az-1SOSZE1Dops-unsplash.jpg Home - Reconnect We believe that another world is possible and envisage a future where our relationship with the earth is founded in reciprocity, renewal, and reverence. We have experienced that these skills lose their meaning when practiced in isolation and that it is the efforts of a community that can birth a better world for our future generations. https://www.wildawake.ie/offerings daily 0.75 2021-10-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fe9fc6f78f8af2b98b0e465/1609211521558-EU2G8HX8F4WPR67M40X7/23032369_1068178813284836_185589822266078261_n.jpg 3. Offerings - Ancestral Skills Wild Awake runs classes for individuals and groups which aims to draw you away from the city and the pressures of modern-day life, back to the land where you are freely able to explore your own connection to place. At the heart of these skills lies the real treasure: community building, grief-tending, cultural regeneration, and rewilding. We firmly believe that it is through practicing the skills of our ancestors, those who knew the land so intimately and recognized their place within it, that we can strengthen our connection to the earth and all its inhabitants. Through practicing these hands-on, creative skills we can flex our own ancestral muscle memory and recognize ourselves as the creative, problem-solving and resilient beings that we are. Through these classes, we aim to provide authentic, transformational and immersive experiences which contribute to personal growth, community building and real skill development. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fe9fc6f78f8af2b98b0e465/1611053654241-OVL333KKLAHL5M4E802Z/wildsalad.jpg 3. Offerings - Ethnobotany Ethnobotany is the study of the relationship between people and plants. We offer foraging walks & workshops across the country, tracking the ethnobotanical landscape of Ireland through the seasons. These can range from a simple 2-hour walk & talk, with tastings at the end, or a more immersive exploration of how plants, trees, fungi, or seaweeds can be processed into food, medicine, or craft. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fe9fc6f78f8af2b98b0e465/1618951738752-RKFVWKBQNGESM11PTQPL/Tracking-Group-2.jpg 3. Offerings - Wildlife Tracking & Trailing “Many tracking books use the analogy of the earth as paper, the animals as writers, and the tracks and trails as the letters and words left behind for those who are fluent in the language and willing to pause and read. Tracks and trails are truly a script for those with trained senses, and they tell many stories rich in drama, suspense, mystery, love and sometimes horror.” (Mark Elbroch, Mammal Tracks, and Sign) Being a Tracker is so much more than just looking at tracks on the ground. It is about understanding and interpreting animal behavior, developing empathy for the more-than-human world, and embedding ourselves within the story of the living landscape. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fe9fc6f78f8af2b98b0e465/1612270994449-RX2ZMDP8SR8DV4U82PKH/kevin-wolf-gXNpIugknlA-unsplash.jpg 3. Offerings - Rites of Passage A Rite of Passage is an intentionally designed experience that supports people to transition through pivotal or difficult times in their life and tends to their relationship with Self, community, culture, and more. Our programs are specifically designed to support young people aged 13-18 in the journey from childhood to young adulthood in a supported, mentored way. We work closely with parents & guardians to support them to support their young person in this transformative experience. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fe9fc6f78f8af2b98b0e465/1609922863597-22XRCI949EFD7TPV6E7Q/56573527_281137862808499_3476172076400771072_n.jpg 3. Offerings - Forest School Forest School is an ethos of learning which seeks to support resilient and creative learners through regular and on-going relationship building with the natural world. Free play and supported risk-taking is central to this ethos of learning. Forest School is defined by six guiding principles and is led by qualified practitioners who are continually reflecting on and building upon their practice. We have offered Forest School for schools, youth groups and family support centres. We also offer introductory training to Forest School for teachers, colleges, universities & individuals.

Courses - “Most of us think of belonging as a place outside of ourselves, that if we keep searching for, that maybe one day we’ll find it.

Courses - “Plants are also integral to reweaving the connection between land and people. A place becomes a home when it sustains you, when it feeds you in body as well as spirit.

Thank you for being here. Is mise Lucy Ní hAodhagáin, as mBéal Feirste mé ach tá mé i mo chónaí sa Gaeltacht Thír Chonaill. My name is Lucy O’Hagan, I’m from Belfast but I live in the Donegal Gaeltacht. Much to say about what has brought me here… as a queer, Irish Catholic growing up in Tuaisceart na hÉireann, the north of Ireland, the feeling of unbelonging permeated much of my life. The fields and hedges around our house were both school and sanctuary for me in an unstable home. Coming to remember myself as belonging to the land and tending to my own personal relationship with that awareness has become a defining part of who I am and the Tobar, well, from which I draw. I mo chroí, in my heart, I am a sensitive being who has known quite a bit of pain and has been blessed with a whole hearth of beauty. I have always had a fierce grá, love, of the edge dwellers and a burning passion for liberation of all beings. These embers were stoked in my formative years by anti-capitalist, anarchist collectives such as the Warzone Collective in Belfast and Seomra Spraoi in Dublin. The DIY, collective spirit of these hubs were catalysts in how I came to do the work that I do in the way that I do it. I have a BA degree in Social Anthropology and French, though I didn’t spend much time in the classroom and was off given any opportunity to explore the squats, jungles and juggling conventions of the world. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fe9fc6f78f8af2b98b0e465/d452255f-eea0-42f9-b6e8-61273d78622e/hawthorn.jpg About In 2014, after spending a couple of years on Reunion Island in the Indian Ocean and Guadeloupe in the Caribbean supporting the integration of environmental learning across the school syllabus, I returned home to Ireland. I remember vividly reading Richard Louv’s ‘Last child in the woods’ and seeing the words ‘Forest School’ written for the first time. I was hooked. By September 2015, I was a trained Forest School leader and had set up the first independent forest school in Dublin, located in the iconic Phoenix Park. And so we gathered for seven years around the twisted trunk of an old Sceach Gheal, hawthorn tree. To say that that place grew me would be no understatement. Over those seven years, hundreds of children and adults from all walks of life joined us around the tine, fire. We were taught by deer and jackdaw, otter and burdock, beech and porcelain fungus. Children taught me how to make meaningful, creative, spontaneous ritual and tended to the roots of me in ways that I will never forget. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fe9fc6f78f8af2b98b0e465/1635278832657-PG7UR7K4TAI7KTNVSDOF/DSCF4314.jpg About Meanwhile, I became known as ‘Coursey-Bananagan’ by my loving partner as I was off learning with different teachers whenever I could and bringing that learning home. Two teachers in particular offered me so much. John Rhyder taught me the ways of the plants, the trees and the animals; Always encouraging me to walk with integrity and to see the magic in the small and often over-looked. I spent three years learning from John and continue to deepen my awareness of the tracks and trails alongside him. Meeting Lynx Vilden in 2017 was a pivotal moment on my path. Lynx reminded me that these skills lose their significance when practiced in isolation and that really, relationship is at the heart of everything. I travelled and learned with her from the ancient caves of the Dordogne to the northern lands of the Sami. Her devotion to ancient ways continues to inspire me. My dearest more-than-human guides are eel, deer and nettle. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fe9fc6f78f8af2b98b0e465/5a1c1a04-3ef0-4d6e-80a2-48f5bcbfe9d4/slide+10.jpg About I find myself now living in the far North West of Ireland, Donegal, a place that has tended me from the age of two and certainly Baile mo chroí, my hearts home. I am well and truly claimed by this land. Living here, and indeed anywhere, comes with great dualgas - responsibility. Mo dhualgas, as I understand it now, is to (re)learn mo theanga dhúchais, my native tongue, to listen deeply and learn from the elders of this place, and to tend to the Coigilt tine, the Banked embers, of this mythic land. I am moving slowly, but with purpose and alongside loving allies. Alexis Shotwell beautifully wrote: “We practice the world we don’t have yet in the present and in that practice, we bring it to being”. So, here I am, practicing. Tá mé ag séibheadh ar na haibhleogí, I am blowing on the embers agus ag deanamh cnusaigh, gathering in Sean dóigheanna, the old ways, so that, in these turbulent times, we can feel the hands of our ancestors on our backs and re-member the decolonial, embodied and relational ways of the land once again. I do hope to see you and learn alongside you cois tine, by the fire, one of these days. Go raibh míle maith agat! May goodness be with you and may your fires burn bright. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fe9fc6f78f8af2b98b0e465/1612345538228-256AXDVAFQU7ULV104DS/1.png About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fe9fc6f78f8af2b98b0e465/1612345558618-SKK6LYCXKAGZ18E9MML8/2.png About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fe9fc6f78f8af2b98b0e465/1612345578199-7QAZS23H9L0IK74LT8UW/3.png About https://www.wildawake.ie/terms-and-conditions daily 0.75 2023-12-20 https://www.wildawake.ie/take-action daily 0.75 2021-01-22 https://www.wildawake.ie/about-1 daily 0.75 2021-02-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fe9fc6f78f8af2b98b0e465/1609209551539-WE3DNA7TLSMU3K9PNDSV/IMG_9125.JPG About - Over the past four years, Lucy has been swept away by a strong love of Ancestral skills which satiates both her love for nature-based skills as well as the deep soul work that her heart craves. In 2018, she took part in Lynx Vilden’s Stone Age immersion projects, living wild for 4 months with a community. From the ancient caves of the Dordogne, to the northern lands of the Sami, she deepened her understanding and love of Ancestral skills, whilst also exploring cultural regeneration and deep nature connection practises. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fe9fc6f78f8af2b98b0e465/1611044886479-2J9N279RMNABVH9K9NWT/Foraging_4.jpg About - Lucy’s passion for teaching began after finishing a degree in Social Anthropology and French when she had the chance to work in schools in the Caribbean and on Reunion Island, assisting in the integration of environmental learning across the curriculum. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fe9fc6f78f8af2b98b0e465/1611044968931-XHVBEWIMA00OXMFZV7NE/Wild-Awake-BOD-0J4A0397.jpg About - Lucy trained as a Level 3 Forest School practitioner in March 2015 and soon after set up the Phoenix Forest School in Dublin’s iconic Phoenix Park in September 2015. Since then, Lucy has been deepening her relationship with nature and passion for teaching through learning at and working with an exciting diversity of schools. She has attended and assisted John Rhyder of the Woodcraft school in Sussex. Here, she furthered her knowledge of ethnobotany, wildlife tracking, and trained as a Bushcraft Instructor. This involved sleeping out in the woods for one week a month, September-June, learning practical bushcraft skills and effective ways to teach these to others. Since then, Lucy has continued to deepen her practice as a Rites of Passage and Vision fast guide for youth and adults. She considers her life a giveaway to the rocks, rivers, trees, and hearts of this land. Lucy feels most at home wandering through the woods, following animal trails & nibbling on what food or medicine nature has to offer. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fe9fc6f78f8af2b98b0e465/1612345538228-256AXDVAFQU7ULV104DS/1.png About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fe9fc6f78f8af2b98b0e465/1612345558618-SKK6LYCXKAGZ18E9MML8/2.png About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fe9fc6f78f8af2b98b0e465/1612345578199-7QAZS23H9L0IK74LT8UW/3.png About https://www.wildawake.ie/lucy-home daily 0.75 2021-02-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fe9fc6f78f8af2b98b0e465/1612472219991-IZWQTHOPXJZ0O5DH5SZY/F1000005.jpg Lucy.

We have experienced that these skills lose their meaning when practiced in isolation and that it is the efforts of a community that can birth a better world for our future generations. https://www.wildawake.ie/practice-lucy-about daily 0.75 2021-02-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fe9fc6f78f8af2b98b0e465/1609209551539-WE3DNA7TLSMU3K9PNDSV/IMG_9125.JPG Practice Lucy. About - Over the past four years, Lucy has been swept away by a strong love of Ancestral skills which satiates both her love for nature-based skills as well as the deep soul work that her heart craves. In 2018, she took part in Lynx Vilden’s Stone Age immersion projects, living wild for 4 months with a community. From the ancient caves of the Dordogne, to the northern lands of the Sami, she deepened her understanding and love of Ancestral skills, whilst also exploring cultural regeneration and deep nature connection practises. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fe9fc6f78f8af2b98b0e465/1611044886479-2J9N279RMNABVH9K9NWT/Foraging_4.jpg Practice Lucy. About - Lucy’s passion for teaching began after finishing a degree in Social Anthropology and French when she had the chance to work in schools in the Caribbean and on Reunion Island, assisting in the integration of environmental learning across the curriculum. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fe9fc6f78f8af2b98b0e465/1611044968931-XHVBEWIMA00OXMFZV7NE/Wild-Awake-BOD-0J4A0397.jpg Practice Lucy. About - Lucy trained as a Level 3 Forest School practitioner in March 2015 and soon after set up the Phoenix Forest School in Dublin’s iconic Phoenix Park in September 2015. Since then, Lucy has been deepening her relationship with nature and passion for teaching through learning at and working with an exciting diversity of schools. She has attended and assisted John Rhyder of the Woodcraft school in Sussex. Here, she furthered her knowledge of ethnobotany, wildlife tracking, and trained as a Bushcraft Instructor. This involved sleeping out in the woods for one week a month, September-June, learning practical bushcraft skills and effective ways to teach these to others. Lucy continues to explore her role as a Rites of Passage and Vision fast guide for youth and adults. She considers her life a giveaway to the rocks, rivers, trees, and hearts of this land. Lucy feels most at home wandering through the woods, following animal trails & nibbling on what food or medicine nature has to offer. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fe9fc6f78f8af2b98b0e465/1612345538228-256AXDVAFQU7ULV104DS/1.png Practice Lucy.

between land and people. A place becomes a home when it sustains you, when it feeds you in body as well as spirit. To recreate a home, the plants must also return.”. - From ‘Braiding Sweetgrass: Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge, and the Teachings of Plants’, by Robin Wall Kimmerer. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fe9fc6f78f8af2b98b0e465/1611069525147-7JWLJ44E2RKT3LLBJS9S/52720485_1360051847470092_3632828306987941888_n.jpg Courses - Ethnobotany Plants as Medicines. In the journey of learning about plants, we are nourished many times along the path. Not only when we take the plants as food and medicine, but in the wild encounters you may have as you harvest silently, or the community nourishment you may experience as we move across the landscape, singing and joking together. There is healing at every step. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fe9fc6f78f8af2b98b0e465/1611069166240-SPJH25XQPAJFU9AJF6SO/IMG_6383.jpg Courses - Ethnobotany Uses of Plants. Lucy’s particular focus lies with the practical ethnobotanical uses of plants, trees, fungi, and seaweeds in Ireland and further afield. Lucy will guide you in exploring the practical uses of these plants to assist you in cultivating your own relationship with these beings. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fe9fc6f78f8af2b98b0e465/1611069431516-RW0RLH6VURHCBDEZW6DB/121324664_3450987924947489_7385189003457537816_n.jpg Courses - Ethnobotany Reciprocity. Reciprocity and a good relationship with nature are at the heart of what we do. We aim to explore ways to contribute regeneratively to this land whilst carrying on the old ways of healing ourselves and our communities. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fe9fc6f78f8af2b98b0e465/1611069460037-75FT4OLGHOM2C4SD132T/IMG_1608.JPG Courses - Ethnobotany - “Beautiful project with such beautiful energy of freshness and nature.

But what if belonging isn’t a place at all, but a set of skills, or competencies, that we in modern times have lost or forgotten” From ‘Belonging: Remembering ourselves home’, by Toko-PaTurner. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fe9fc6f78f8af2b98b0e465/1634676863945-VDDBRB5H6QIHMP0IAMKB/DSCF4479.jpg Courses - Ancestral Skills Connection to the Land.
