The World is Storytelling

Headed back up the hills, and today we are in the bizarrely snowy Carlow Alps, as no one has ever called them before. We didn't make it to the top of Mt. Leinster, because of the thick snow, but I did have a fantastic afternoon with Cathy & Martin.Cathy Fitzgerald grew up in Aotearoa New Zealand and has been living in rural South East Ireland, the home of her Irish ancestors for several decades. She is an ecological artist and ecoliteracy educator at Haumea Ecoversity, her independent online ecoliteracy learning platform for creatives, teachers and cultural professionals. She addresses a critical gap in higher education on holistic transformative learning, to empower people to act for personal, societal, planetary and intergenerational well-being. All of this drawing from the re-wilding of the Sitka Spruce plantation her and Martin live with, that is the ongoing 'Hollywood Forest Story'. Cathy's husband Martin Lyttle was born in Kenya, and grew up near Mt. Leinster, South County Carlow, very close to where he and Cathy now live. Martin has always gravitated towards geology, rocks, and mountains. Once a former geotechnical engineer, in recent years he has followed his passion for creativity in becoming a stone sculptor. He takes care to only work with local Kilkenny limestone and granite, with his unique sculptures of organic forms, fruits and vegetables, often hand-polished, relate to his interest in Nature's forms, gardening and care for the Earth.Find more information about Cathy's work here and here.

It's the morning after the end of the Camino, and I get talking to the guy in the next albergue bunk bed. Turns out to be Marcin, a fantastic thinker and traveller who I first met in the pouring rain somewhere two days previous. Wise, thoughtful, and a pilgrim in the most human way, he doesn't let anything stop him. On the Camino or in life. If you'd like to connect with Marcin, drop him a line here.

It's the morning after the end of the Camino. Going for a wander at the end of the earth, I meet Debby. Debby is a pragmatic, down-to-earth, WooWoo kind of person, with a big heart and a good balance of seriousness & humour. Walking the Camino was for her a way to embrace a significant phase and transition in life, which led to her naming herself the 'Menopausal Pilgrim'. Her journey came with challenges, pivots, insights, surrender and acceptance. She is a transformational coach who, with Human Design as the foundation, guides and facilitates healing for those who are ready to align with their unique expression and purpose, working through blocks and fears. She has trained and certified in many supporting modalities and will probably study until she takes her final breath. If you'd like to learn more or connect with Debby, do so here.
