Rewilding The Mind: An Evening with Manchán Magan

‘(He) connects language to landscape and routes it back to our beating hearts’

– Totally Dublin

In this 70-minute talk, bestselling writer and documentary filmmaker Manchán Magan (Listen to the Land Speak, 32 Words for Field, Arán & Im) explores the rising connection people are having with the spirit and the lore of the land of Ireland.

Beginning with the creation myth and origin story that our ancestors have passed down to us, he examines the mythological and archaeological clues to how our forebears identified with both the physical realm and the magical realms that surround it.

Manchán will explore the raising awareness of the centrality of the goddess in all aspects of Irish culture, lore and ritual, and how it can help to steer us towards a deeper connection with nature and landscape.
