In the face of climate disruption, biodiversity loss, and multiple community challenges our 'Roots of Solidarity' - Eco Arts & Sustainable Living Festival & Palestinian Fundraiser aims to offer a showcase of local, national and international creative actors and initiatives joining in solidarity to address the issues of our times and offer a vital space for community dialogue, connection, culture, craft and creativity - with the aim of reimagining a nature full collective pathway forward in how we reconnect to land, food, culture and place. The Centre for Environmental Living and Training (CELT) are delighted to offer this unique and inspiring 2 day Sustainable Living & Eco Arts Festival including our annual Traditional Crafts workshops and bring together earth activists, poets, film makers, change makers, rebels and dreamers to share some time in nature, strengthen our connections, build solidarity and deepen our collective and creative vision.
This Festival sets the stage for a reimagining of our communities - as vital creative, cultural, political and ecological actors, with impact at home and abroad. Bringing together artists, craft makers, researchers, foresters, farmers, community and rights of nature advocates and policy-makers, to explore how creative and cultural approaches to our local landscape can help build thriving rural communities, nourish well-being, and cultivate a deeper connection with the land and place.
Over the weekend we aim to explore how we can inform and inspire our collective and creative nature restoration and climate actions, and how we co- create solidarity between networks in addressing key challenges.
CELT’s Traditional Skills festival workshops are held over two days at the Slieve Aughty Centre.... choose one from over 12 different crafts and skills to do in our courses on offer and go home with new skills, the item(s) you made, and new friends!
Some of our courses are especially designed for children with wonderful Bushcraft, Spinning, and Green Woodwork options to chooses from.
This festival aims to inspire, connect, and co-create visions for our human, more than human and planetary well being.
We are very grateful to our supporters the Irish Environmental Network, the Community Foundation Ireland and the Department of Environment, Climate, & Communications and the Small Festival Scheme under the Department of Culture Communications and Sport who support these creative events to take place.
