One of the unique rewards of hosting the Ireland Writing Retreat is witnessing participants’ sheer pleasure in being immersed in local Gaelic arts and culture, whether that be the ancient language, its soul-inspiring music and its dance.
As an illustration of just how rich and complex native Irish culture is, watch, read and listen to some of the wonderful on-stage performances in the link below, from the annual Scoil Gheimhridh, a winter festival hosted last week in the same location of the Donegal Gaeltacht where the writing retreat itself takes place.
We wish everyone a new year of inspiration and soul enriching experiences.
