Terranu

Terranu is a 12 hectare learning and regeneration centre close to Lismore, Ireland. It started in September 2022 and dreams to host a learning community allowing a group of curious children to learn about all of the wonders of the natural world and how we can restore and steward the earth. People will come from near and far for retreats and workshops, learning together how to heal our relationship with nature, self and others. Engaging with the land they will have an opportunity to experience hands-on regeneration. Local farm to table meals are served from the vegetable and forest garden, and a long table is set under the branches of the great oak. The 5 hectares of monoculture sitka spruce will be transformed into a native woodland harbouring the sacred celtic trees. Among the hazels the bluebells bloom, wild blueberries and raspberries carefully present themselves. In the pasture land, chickens and sheep regenerate the soil while grazing along fruit and nut trees, all contributing to helping regenerate this special piece of land to thrive for all forms of life. A winding path gives a view down the valley before it descends to a platform by the riverside, a place to find stillness for meditation and contemplation, as well as connection through music, ceremony and dialogue.
