For the Gaeltacht
Our location is the southernmost Gaeltacht island of Oiléan Cléire, home of the draoi saint Ciarán, of megaliths and stone walls, of story tellers and whale song.
​
Sé an oiléan is faide ó dheas; suíomh an díseart, baile dhúchais naomh Ciarán, galláin, ballaí clocha, scéalaí is amhrán an míol mór.

This is an Irish class with a difference. Siobhan will introduce you to the deeper implications of speaking Irish, for the psyche, biology and the mind. We will use the foclóir as a tool of communication with our inner selves. We can practice unblocking creative flow and finding an authentic expression tríd Gaeilge.
Seo rang Gaeilge diffrúil. Chuirfhinn na himpleachtaí níos deimhne don teanga in aithint duit, don písce, bitheolaíocht agus an intinn. úsáidfhimid an foclóir chun dul i dteangmháil le do chroí istigh, ag réitiú aon constaic ar an sruth cruthaitheach agus aimsiú léiriú údarásach tríd Gaeilge.
