An Irish Ecology Project

Welcome to
An Tairseach

We are an Irish ecology project working to heal and restore Earth’s life support systems! Explore the kinship between ecology and spirituality through our year-round retreats, workshops, or a visit to our Organic Farm Shop.

For over twenty years, our hilltop organic farm in Wicklow Town has produced chemical-free food and provided a safe-haven for wildlife. The hives are humming, and our native and planted woodlands continue to flourish under the stewardship of our organic farmers, gardeners and eco-volunteers.

An Tairseach 2026 Calendar

Our 2026 calendar is a love note to the biodiverse richness of Co. Wicklow. Every species on these pages is one you might find on a walk through the Wicklow mountains, through our bogs and our forests, and as you meander along the riverbeds and our extensive seashores. We hope this calendar will inspire you on your nature walks, as you deepen your relationships with the more-than-human world. We hope that as you stop to notice the leaves, insects and berries, that the spirit of love in the heart of all living things replenishes your spirit. May your time in nature strengthen your faith, help you to set your eyes on love, beauty and all things good. Price: €15. To place an order, please call 0404 61833 or email: info@antairseach.ie

Imbolc 2026

With Patrick-Joseph, Kate Murphy & Mel O'Driscoll

There's a remembrance happening that is revealing the Golden Thread of the Christian lineage and people are tentative yet brave as they being to retrace the steps of our ancestors, praying rounds on rosary beads and humming along to hymns from school days. In a culture that is being rapidly excelled by technology there's a deep humanism in the tradition of our forebearers that offers a balm of dignity and a personal love that we are all desperately in need of.

We were at a threshold 
[‘An Tairseach’] 
or crossroads as a human community, between an old world view and an emerging world view.
