David Keohan is an ordinary working man on an extraordinary adventure. An avid musician and holding both a degree in Fine Art and a world championship title in kettlebell sport, David has used this mix of creativity and single minded focus  to unearth and reanimate an entire lost culture of strength in Ireland, namely Stone lifting, following old folklore stories and mythologies.

This has garnered him a lot of attention both nationally and internationally with articles in GQ and Mr Porter magazines, TV appearances , films and documentaries. His ultimate goal is to make Irish stone lifting a household name and to help people reconnect to their ancient customs and folklore. He is based out of the South East of Ireland in Waterford.

I am a Tipperary based visual artist whose work and practice is around
being in nature as an equal participant.

Some of the materials I work with include soils and their microbes, rain
waters, mineral colours, tears and charred found natural objects.

I aim to look at our current ecological world situation through the lens
of questioning.

Since I was a pup, I have felt the desire to express love and rage for
the wild world and the domesticated world. This has culminated in many
ways throughout my live, with this more recent development of
channelling such things into an active creative practice, which is
suiting both me and the hound with whom I am privileged to spend my days
and ways.

I aim to create work through themes and materials which hold the
integrity of protest to bring about positive change and enable a view of
the world where we are each partakers as opposed to takers.

A second installation in a larger body of work around these themes will
be opening in late summer of 2024 in The Quadrangle Art Gallery at
University College Galway.

My name is Leasha, I am a community folk herbalist living in
Belfast.

Grá fiánta means ‘fierce love’. This is the philosophy I live by,
particularly in my work as a community herbalist. My herbalism practice
is grounded in the city ecosystem and is guided by principles of
solidarity, mutual aid, and reciprocity.

Grá Fiánta Herbal exists to empower people and communities by making
plant medicine accessible. Knowledge is power, and through my work I
hope to reconnect people with the traditional knowledge of plant
medicine. I aim to mobilise plant medicine in support of people
experiencing marginalisation and oppression, as part of the wider
struggle for rights, community sovereignty, and justice.

Through Grá Fiánta Herbal I offer educational plant medicine workshops
in collaboration with community gardens and other local groups. I aim to
share the knowledge I have collected in ways that are accessible and
useful.

I also offer free and low-cost herbal teas, flower essences, and other
remedies.

I also sell my writing work & other plant inspired creations.

Lets make it a trend to love our home and create urban orchards for everyone.

The Phantom Planters is a group for all Phantom Planters, Guerrilla Gardeners, nature and community lovers to share their knowledge, exchange ideas on how to create fruit forests in our communities, reforest the landscape and generally unite us as a people to spread the ripples of love across our lands.

We can do this guys, I know we can!. 

It’s not up to anyone else, it’s up to us as Individuals.

Dating for lovers of nature, earth, art and soul

Our vision is to essentially bring together singles (or people in mutually-consentual open relationships) in Ireland who are good and lovely people, so that they might find a partner with similar life goals and values… values such as those associated with permaculture/gardening, off-grid/sustainable living, natural building, nomadic tendencies (vanlife!), spirituality/self-improvement, the great outdoors and an appreciation of nature. Creatives, thinkers, dreamers and doers; you are all welcome 🙂 This is an LGBT+ friendly space, inclusive of all genders and mutually consensual relationships styles. We expect all members to be welcoming and inclusive of all other members and to treat all others with respect. We invite you to introduce a bit about yourself and share one or more photos, describe who you are in this world, and let people know what you’re looking for. Put it out to the [earthy soul mates] universe!Perhaps you’re not too sure if you want a long-term relationship, but you might be open to it if you met the right person, that’s also alright! Many people prefer to build friendships first and hope that they might be pleasantly surprised by what organically grows from it (pun intended!). Please feel free to start conversation threads and get the chatting going!!

“No one puts their children in a boat unless the water is safer than the land”

Warsan Shire

We are dedicated to bring Whistles ,Tents Sleeping bags and other Aid to Refugee camps around the world.

As a great lady once taught me! If people don’t like music, animals and children, then they have no soul. Music is important, it changes thinking, it influences everybody, it can bring back emotions, hurt and heal. Music has no boundaries. Music in the soul can be heard in the universe.

This project came about through a collective group of music loving humanitarians. It is ironic how the tents that were collected came from music lovers attending festivals, but who chose to discard items that could benefit others. We aim to hold a fundraiser to allow our volunteers to actually deliver aid, along with education. Whistles for Refugees came about as it is the most portable instrument and can be tucked even in a pocket. We have an experienced group of volunteers who have experienced life and how music shaped that life. We have a great team of people on board who want to make a change. Our aim through compassion, music, art and poetry is to bring joy and education to others.
