Rewilding the Self Workshop: Awakening the Wild Within

Rewilding the Self: Awakening the Wild Within

This immersive workshop invites participants to activate their imagination and shift their perception of nature and self. Through storytelling, reflection, and creative writing, we reconnect with the wild, untamed energy of the natural world—and of ourselves. Participants will explore nature not as a commodity or resource, but as sacred, sentient life that we belong to.

By embodying non-human perspectives and drawing inspiration from natural elements, we cultivate empathy, imagination, and emotional resilience. The experience encourages a sense of interconnectedness and reverence for the living world, offering a counter-narrative to environmental despair and disconnection.

This workshop is is free of charge and recommended for adults and young people age 12+. If for any reason you can’t make it, please cancel your ticket so someone else can enjoy this unique experience.

About the ÉRIU Education Programme

"When the water mysteriously disappears from the well in a warrior clan’s village, an intrepid child descends into the belly of the earth to retrieve it"

The ÉRIU education programme is created by Our Story and funded by the Lifes2Good Foundation. This timely series of immersive workshops is inspired by ÉRIU, the new animation film co-produced by Cartoon Saloon and HerStory, written and directed by Giovanna Ferrari, with support from Screen Ireland and BCP Asset Management.

Each workshop takes you through three distinct stages; the head, the heart, and the hands. This ensures that learning is both comprehensive and deeply felt.

This is not a linear education model - it’s a spiral journey designed to guide you through continuous cycles of learning, healing and deepening your relationship with nature.

Thanks to our dream team for co-creating this programme: Dr. Emma Black, Dr. Easkey Britton, Melanie Lynch, Andrew Simpson, and Szabolcs Karikó.
