Cleaning the Lens – Healing our Wound

Cleaning the Lens- Healing our Wound is the first step in a 4 stage nature-centric healing journey, ‘Discovering Dúchas – Ag fáíl amach ár nDúchas”

This process is a new phased stepping stone developed by members of Éire Dhúchasach to help restore ourselves to a true sense of well-being in our natural place. We have each suffered a loss of understanding in how we view the natural world and at Éire Dhúchasach we see this loss as a wound that can be healed.

We are intrinsically linked to our home- the cells that make us up share fluid with the rivers, lakes and seas around where we live. We use the foundational concept of Dúchas as a starting point to this inquiry. Cleaning The Lens is the beginning of our journey- it asks us to see nature as non-threatening and fraternal.

We have each developed survival mechanisms to cope with our difficult history and our first step is recognising our survival mechanisms as what they are- adaptations we made under threat which are no longer useful.

You are invited to re-enter into the conscious practice of nature connection, recognising other sentient beings as kin, who co-exist with us for mutual benefit, grounded in the knowledge of place.

A session lasts for 2-3 hours. This includes providing context about the place, an embodied learning experience to deepen understanding of the biodiversity of your area- and how you can claim your birthright of a irrefutable connection to it.

This session is supported by your kind Donation only. The session will take place in Lisnagrá Woods in Inishowen, co. Donegal. Registration at 10.20am. Finishes at 2pm
