Walk with me as we explore an ancient woodland finding & tasting medicinal plants, experimenting with wild berry ink, hear stories of Celtic Ireland, its goddesses and warriors, laws & tree worship.
Courtown Woods is one of the 0.01% of ancient native woodlands remaining in Ireland, join your guide, Lorraine O'Dwyer an 8th generation Wise Woman and traditional storyteller for a morning experience that brings you back over the centuries to a time of myth, magic and tree worship!
At a 1500 year old High cross hidden amongst the trees you'll learn about Celtic Earth Worship and the 5000 year old festivals still celebrated to this day, honouring Eirú, the Goddess that gave this land its name.
From there, following on old Viking road, we walk the river bank, making soap from leaves, learning about the Iron Age Laws of Ireland (did you know you're worth less than an Oak to the Tribe?) You'll learn why we bring Holly into the house, why Yew trees grown in Church yards and why the Elder is associated with magic and witches.
We'll find and taste seasonal medicinal plants, finding cures for hangovers, viruses, colds and even a natural alternative to botox!
Meeting the Mother Tree, you'll learn a little about the secret world of trees and how they communicate, create communities and battle threats.
Reaching the old Bridge, we'll break out the willow quills and berry inks as you write your name using the ancient Ogham script and maybe draw a picture!
Returning to our original meeting point, you'll have plenty of time for questions and chats and when we reach the end of our walk, you can enjoy a refreshing bottle of Sparkling Nettle Drink made by an award-winning local food producer.
This is not just a walk in the woods, its a transformative experience that will change your woodland walks forever, and connect you to the world and land of our ancestors like nothing else will!
The walk finishes at lunchtime, leaving you to choose from a number of local restaurants or enjoy a picnic before heading on to your next adventure!
