TEISTIMEIREACHT

It is indeed ‘Wild’, will take you back to your childhood and your youth, before modern civilisation applied its demands and its restrictions, its bonds and chains; and it’s certainly very Irish, connections made in this very spiritual corner of this island to all that binds us as human beings, through our language, yes, which we’re immediately encouraged to speak but only to our own ability, and without pressure, but also through our hearts, through our souls, the brain and the mind now mere instruments, as opposed to being the control centre.
