Stòras a’ Bhaile May 2025
Highland Village Gaelic Immersion Folklife School
(Stòras a' Bhaile - May 2025 will only proceed if the application for funding to subsidize costs is formally approved.)
Living and learning together in community, you are invited to join us at Stòras a’ Bhaile - May 2025, a five-day residential Gaelic Immersion Folklife School. Stòras will be held in Inverness County Friday to Tuesday: May 23-27.
Sessions will run from 9:30AM to 4PM daily. In the evening, there will be seanchas, games, visits, and more. Due to space constraints, pre-registration is necessary, as the program can only accommodate a maximum of 10 participants. Priority will be given to Nova Scotia residents who commit to stay on site for the duration. Admission for Stòras a' Bhaile is $325 for the event Teas, meals, and accommodations provided.
Learning materials and information will be forwarded to registrants prior to sessions. To date, the workshops have aimed to introduce participants to the regional Gaelic oral tradition through song, storytelling, and the verbal associations with other traditional genres such as music, dance, and domestic crafts. Stòras a’ Bhaile distinguishes itself by hands-on language activities and social time conducted entirely through the Gaelic language. The sessions have centred around the acquisition and appreciation of such traditional cultural skills within a Gaelic social context. Care has been taken for skills to be introduced and transmitted in an informal setting as a part of traditional practice, to be enjoyed by all. Skills central to long-term transmission, including language skills, performance, memory, and the building of a personal or community repertoire have been encouraged and developed in previous years, and participants have gained an active competence in their Gaelic traditions.
Workshop participants will be encouraged to become active tradition bearers in order to ensure the survival of the region’s living Gaelic tradition in the long-term. Workshops in previous years have provided a firm foundation of oral tradition to build on. A wide variety of songs are already in the active repertoires of participants, and stories ranging from short anecdotes to longer traditional tales from community storytellers have been performed in the informal style of the region’s Gaelic communities. Developing transmission and performance skills for future active tradition bearers in the workshops will include: acquiring an increased repertoire of traditional materials (including humorous local stories) from oral performance, recordings and transcriptions; understanding and explaining the vocabulary encountered in the oral tradition; céilidh practice and etiquette; explaining the community or historical background of an item sung or recited; and participating in informal discussions;
building community.
The direction described here is intended to serve as a preliminary training program for future Gaelic tradition bearers. At the same time, it is important to keep in mind that the training aspects should not detract from the sense of social participation and enjoyment that has characterized the workshops in years past. The overall emphasis, as in previous years, is on passing on community skills to promote cultural continuity. In time, groups of younger participants in associated programs already possessing some skills will be ready to join the workshops and provide the support necessary to maintain and promote the traditions at the centre of Gaelic Nova Scotia.
Guest leaders and facilitators for Stòras a’ Bhaile will be Dr. John Shaw, University of Edinburgh, Gaelic singer Mary Jane Lamond, and Shannon MacMullin, Gaelic Affairs, and Dr. Shamus Y. MacDonald, Highland Village, along with Gaelic speaking friends.
Stòras a’ Bhaile - May 2025 continues an annual series of workshops designed for social interaction through language immersion, and offers the second residential opportunity using this model. Please note that this is a Gaelic only event.
