Hidden Hearth returns to Carlow for three days of music, movement, ideas and connection in the woodlands of Lisnavagh House.
A sober, land-based gathering rooted in presence, creativity, community and the land - an alternative kind of festival where the focus is on how we come together.
We wish to reawaken the remembrance of our interconnectedness with the natural world by reminding people that we, humans, are nature - not separate from it. Through multiple modes of the arts we will inspire collective and creative care for our planet, global network and local communities.
For us, as humans to remember and create space for our innate regenerative and creative capacity as an extension of the Earth. We envision a world where we respect and care for the wellbeing of all life. A world that lives in reciprocity with the elements and ecosystem. A world in which the sacredness of all life is known and celebrated.
Tine na Leanaí - The Children's Fire - A fire for the future. A place to sew seeds, set intentions, offer prayers for our children and our children's children
