Join us for a rare and profound conversation with visionary botanist, biochemist, and bestselling author Diana Beresford-Kroeger, whose work reveals Forests as living, breathing networks essential to our survival.In this intimate webinar, Diana shares insights from Our Green Heart, the culmination of her life's research on the deep connection between forests, human health, and planetary survival. As one of the last people in Ireland to receive a full Druidic education, she bridges ancient ecological wisdom with cutting-edge science to show how forests serve as Earth's lungs, medicine, and protectors against climate breakdown.Discover the hidden intelligence of trees, the critical role forests play in stabilizing climate, and how Diana's groundbreaking Bioplan offers a roadmap for replanting the global forest—and our future. She calls on each of us to take action through planting, protection, and reciprocity with the natural world.This is more than a conversation—it's a call to action. Leave inspired and empowered with steps to help safeguard the forests that sustain life on Earth.Diana Beresford-Kroeger is a globally recognized author, medical biochemist, botanist, and climate visionary. Raised in Ireland after the early loss of her parents, she was educated by elders in the Brehon tradition who passed on ancestral knowledge of plants and nature.Told as a child she would one day carry that wisdom into a troubled future, Diana has done just that. Since the 1960s, she has been sounding the alarm on climate change and advocating for the protection of global forests. Her scientific path led to degrees in botany and biochemistry, and to discoveries such as genetic smearing and cathodoluminescence in biological systems—now used in cancer detection.Yet her heart remained with the forest. In the 1970s, she created her own arboretum, gathered rare trees from around the world, and uncovered the chemical language and medicinal intelligence of forests. Her Bioplan empowers people everywhere to replant and protect native species. The plan has been adopted by cities like Ottawa and inspired international action.Diana's 2016 documentary Call of the Forest introduced wider audiences to this vision, alongside a tree-planting app matching native species to location. Her collaboration with activist Sophia Rabliauskas helped secure UNESCO World Heritage status for Pimachiowin Aki, a boreal forest of immense ecological and cultural value.Diana's legacy project is to clone and map the entire global forest—creating a living library of seeds to safeguard biodiversity for future generations.Learn more: https://dianaberesford-kroeger.comSupport the show

Our Story Before Ethne became a queen of Tara and married Cormac mac Airt, she was a foster child to Buchet, a man known for his tremendous hospitality. In this story, Marisa Goudy imagines Ethne's perspective on this 12th century Irish tale. Our Guest Elizabeth Shaw is an author, consultant, speaker, and facilitator who brings her core philosophies of practical optimism and radical hospitality to everything she does. Whether she's planning a custom Cirque du Soleil show, working as an hospitality consultant for organizations like Toyota and State Farm, a strategic partner for entrepreneurs and thought leaders, or inspiring audiences around the world with her book The Optimist Manifesto, Elizabeth brings a thread of collaboration, service, and whimsy to all she does. Equal parts head in the cloud and feet on the ground, Elizabeth is an optimistic strategist who puts people and purpose at the center of all of her work. Find Elizabeth on her website, on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/inspiringoptimism/ (@inspringoptimism), and https://www.facebook.com/shaw.elizabethc (Facebook.) Our Conversation Hospitality is an Irish tradition that dates back to the Brehon laws and https://www.rte.ie/brainstorm/2022/0314/1286239-ireland-hospitality-welcome-strangers-medieval-brehon-laws (still echoes in the culture today.) Elizabeth brings her lived definition of hospitality to the conversation: it's about being seen, being welcomed, and being cared for.  Hospitality is about more than feasts, merriment, and the perfect house. It's also about offering care and a safe space. The gender roles associated with hospitality and being the “perfect hostess” Hospitality creates community and depends on community, not on an individual who needs to do it all.  Marisa wrote this story in the first person, a first for one of her KnotWork stories. Ethne represents the movement from the Princess to Queen archetype described in The Sovereignty Knot. Her foster father, the great host, holds the Wise Woman energy. There is a sexual assault at the center of the original story. Rape is a common element in mythology, and Marisa and Elizabeth spoke at length about how to stay true to the source material, and yet tell a story about hospitality that made Ethne a heroine. They didn't want to erase the trauma to tell a “nice” story, but there was a desire to present Ethne as a sovereign being, rather than a victim.  The importance of reciprocity. What it's like to give too much and what it's like to feel like you're not good at offering hospitality.  The Irish word for welcome is fáilte This tale appears in the c. 1160 CE manuscript, The Book of Leinster, and is commonly called http://www.ancienttexts.org/library/celtic/ctexts/buchet.html (The Melody of the House of Buchet.)

Monday, 1 February 2021, 1 – 2pm Christian saint or Celtic goddess, Brigit has long been associated with the spring season, representing renewal, healing and fertility. But who was the enigmatic Brigit, Brigid or Bríg and what lessons does her legend offer us today? In the midst of a global pandemic which has shaken the world, can we find ways to generate hope from centuries old wisdom and tradition? Join us on the 1st of February for a conversation with Professor Katharine Simms, Dr Mary Condren, artist Rita Duffy, Early Career Researcher Nandini Gupta, and Trinity Long Room Hub Director, Professor Eve Patten. Rita Duffy is an artist in residence at the Trinity Long Room Hub Arts and Humanities Institute. Born in Belfast, Rita was awarded a B.A. from the Art & Design Centre and an M.A. in Fine Art at the University of Ulster. She was elected to Aosdana in 2017. She is one of Northern Ireland's groundbreaking artists who began her work concentrating primarily on the figurative/narrative tradition. Her art is often autobiographical, including themes and images of Irish identity, history and politics. Rita Duffy's work has grown and evolved but remains intensely personal with overtones of the surreal. Professor Katharine Simms Ph.D. was Senior Lecturer in Medieval History at Trinity College Dublin until her retirement in 2010. She has written three books, From Kings to Warlords (1987), Medieval Gaelic Sources (2009) and Gaelic Ulster in the Middle Ages (2020) as well as numerous articles on Gaelic politics and society in later medieval Ireland, including several on the role of women, and the later commentaries on Brehon law tracts. Dr. Mary Condren is a Visiting Research Fellow and teaches at the Centre for Gender and Women's Studies, in the School of Histories and Humanities, Trinity College Dublin. She is director of Woman Spirit Ireland and has organised and resourced Festivals of Brigit, in Ireland and North America, for over thirty years.

“Climate change is happening. What can we do about it? It will start with a shovel and an acorn, but we might just change the world.” Diana Beresford-Kroeger is a world-recognized botanist, medical biochemist and author (and now filmmaker). She is known for her extraordinary ability to bring an understanding and appreciation of the scientific complexities of nature to the general public. "Diana Beresford-Kroeger is one of the rare individuals who can accomplish this outwardly simple but inwardly complex and difficult translation from the non-human to human realms," the renowned E.O. Wilson wrote in the forward to one of her books. “If you speak for the trees, you speak for all of nature,” says Beresford-Kroeger, one of the world's leading experts on trees who is known to have the mind of a scientist and the heart of an artist. She has studied the environmental, medicinal, nutritional, and even spiritual aspects of trees, has written about them in leading books, and on her property she maintains gardens that burst with flora and are open often to the public. Her work uniquely combines western scientific knowledge and the traditional concepts of the ancient world.  From a very young age, she understood that she was the last voice to bring Celtic knowledge to the New World. Orphaned at age 11 in Ireland, she lived with a succession of Gaelic-speaking elders, most of them scholars and freehold farmers in the Lisheens valley in County Cork, who took her under their wing. Over the course of three summers, she was taught the ways of the Celtic triad of mind, body and soul. This included the philosophy of healing, the laws of the trees, Brehon wisdom and the Ogham alphabet, all of it rooted in a vision of nature that saw trees and forests as fundamental to human survival and spirituality. Already a precociously gifted scholar, Diana found that her grounding in the ancient ways led her to fresh scientific concepts. Out of that huge and holistic vision have come the observations that put her at the forefront of her field: the discovery of mother trees at the heart of a forest; the fact that trees are a living library, have a chemical language and communicate in a quantum world; the major idea that trees heal living creatures through the aerosols they release and that they carry a great wealth of natural antibiotics and other healing substances; and, perhaps most significantly, that planting trees can actively regulate the atmosphere and the oceans, and even stabilize our climate. Told she was the last child of ancient Ireland and to one day bring this knowledge to a troubled future, Beresford-Kroeger has done exactly that.  She has published over 200 articles in magazines, journals and newspapers internationally. She is the author of several books including The Sweetness of a Simple Life (2015), The Global Forest: Forty Ways Trees Can Save Us (2010), Arboretum Borealis: A Lifeline of the Planet (2010), and A Garden for Life: The Natural Approach to Designing, Planting, and Maintaining a North Temperate Garden (2004). She has served as a scientific advisor to organizations including the Irish Woodland League, Ecology Ottawa, Hidden Harvest of Ottawa, Canadian Organic Growers, Archangel Ancient Tree Archive and the Acadian Forest Research Centre and others. She has lectured widely across North America and Europe. In her latest book, To Speak for the Trees: My Life's Journey from Ancient Celtic Wisdom to a Healing Vision of the Forest, Beresford-Kroeger asserts that “if we can understand the intricate ways in which the health and welfare of every living creature is connected to the global forest, and strengthen those connections, we will still have time to mend the self-destructive ways that are leading to drastic fires, droughts and floods.” Now she aims to spread her knowledge through feature-length films being made of her work.  In her documentary, Call of the Forest: To Speak with the Trees, Beresford-Kroeger takes viewers on a journey to the most beautiful forests of the northern hemisphere. From the sacred sugi and cedar forests of Japan, the ancient Raheen Wood of Ireland, the walnut and redwood trees of America, to the great boreal forest of Canada, Beresford-Kroeger tells us the amazing stories behind the history and legacy of these ancient forests while also explaining the science of trees and the irreplaceable roles they play in protecting and feeding the planet. Annie Proulx, Pulitzer Prize- and National Book Award­-winning author, says “Call of the Forest is a film of rare significance. It draws the viewer into the green world that sustains life on this planet at a crucial ecological point, and is an introduction to the work of Diana Beresford-Kroeger, one of the least known but most important people on the planet.” Beresford-Kroeger is also at the heart of an upcoming three-part series airing on PBS called The Truth about Trees. Currently she is advocating on behalf of an ambitious global "bioplan" encouraging ordinary people to develop a new relationship with nature and join together to restore the global forest. Beresford-Kroeger understood the importance of trees as a botany student in Ireland and grew her own research garden and arboretum after emigrating from Ireland to Canada. This experience helped her realize that the scientific community lacks the ability to present science to the public; it was to address the urgent needs of nature in its destruction that she began her career in writing, lecturing and broadcasting.  She worked as a research scientist at the University of Ottawa and the Canadian Department of Agriculture Electron Microscopy Centre. She was appointed a WINGS WorldQuest fellow and a fellow of the Royal Geographical Society, where she was named one of 25 women explorers of Canada. “What is especially impressive is her unique blend of scientific rigour and poetic eloquence. Indeed, she combines both in a very rare gift: an extraordinary ability to understand the scientific complexities of nature, but also to bring this knowledge and appreciation to the general public,” said Matthias Neufang, dean of the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs at Carleton College, where she received an honorary degree for her work. Beresford-Kroeger is an O’Donoghue, a very ancient family in Ireland who were the Kings of Munster, a southern county in Ireland. She is the last child of this family. This family was the teachers of the kings of Ireland, even before the birth of Christ. Her immediate family wiped out when she was eleven years old, and as an orphan, she was raised in Southern Ireland by a bachelor uncle who was a noted athlete, chemist, scholar and bibliophile. He nurtured her quest for knowledge and encouraged her to read and discuss everything from Irish poetry, world religions and philosophy to physics and quantum mechanics. She attended private schools in Ireland and England, and completed her earned her bachelor’s of science honors in botany and medicinal biochemistry at University College Cork (UCC), graduating first in her year in 1963. She then completed a master of science degree at UCC in 1965. Diana Beresford-Kroeger's startling insights into the hidden life of trees have already sparked a quiet revolution in how we understand our relationship to forests. She shows us how forests can not only heal us but save the planet. She tells us why trees matter, and why trees are a viable, achievable solution to climate change. Diana eloquently points to us that if we can understand the intricate ways in which the health and welfare of every living creature is connected to the global forest, and strengthen those connections, we will still have time to mend the self-destructive ways that are leading to drastic fires, droughts and floods. Join us in conversation with this ground-breaking and healing scientist and poet!

Ireland has long valued the hive and the honey bee, as evidenced in the Bechbretha or ‘Bee Judgements’ texts, recorded under ancient Irish law or Brehon law, dating back to circa 6th century. Today, a new Irish tech start-up, is seeking to write a new page in history, in terms of food security within a global industry, responsible for providing 1/3rd of the food consumed in the world. ApisProtect, a start-up co-founded by CEO, Fiona Edwards Murphy, a Cork-based electronics engineer, focused on the growing global problem of the stressed honey bee population. Her goal is to provide an IoT - bee monitoring service, utilising the latest sensor technology and machine learning, to help beekeepers reduce losses and increase productivity in their hives. In this episode, ApisProtect Chair and co-founder, Andrew Wood recounts the story behind this innovative idea and the journey of discovery into the secret lives of bees.

This week on the podcast we present an Encore episode of a staff favorite from the For The Wild archives. Diana Beresford-Kroeger is a one-woman force of regeneration of the biosphere! A botanist, medical biochemist and self-defined "renegade scientist," she brings together ethnobotany, horticulture, spirituality and alternative medicine to reveal a path toward better stewardship of the natural world. Orphaned in Ireland in her youth, Diana was educated by elders who instructed her in the Brehon knowledge of plants and nature. Told she was the last child of ancient Ireland and told to one day bring this knowledge to a troubled future, Diana has done exactly that. Her Bioplan is an ambitious plan encouraging ordinary people to develop a new relationship with nature, to join together to replant the global forest. Her books include The Sweetness of a Simple Life, The Global Forest, Arboretum Borealis, Arboretum America, and A Garden for Life. Diana Beresford-Kroeger was inducted as a Wings WorldQuest fellow in 2010 and named one of Utne reader’s World Visionaries for 2011. A delightful meander into the deep knowledge of the forest! How do trees communicate with one another and act for the common good? Why are oceans utterly dependent on healthy forests? How would a regenerative society meet its resource needs? What do children know that their parents have forgotten?

Tonight, let's fall asleep to the ancient origins of the Irish legal system, the "brehon laws". As we drift off, we'll also pass by some passive aggressive criticism about British control of Ireland, as only a solemn 19th century scholar of jurisprudence can express it.

The boys havin da craic, chatting about Irish Wisdom again and setting it into the bigger picture of Atlantis and other lost civilisations! What world was it that was lost in the past few hundred years? The world of the Brehon law, the 7 Grades of Wisdom, ogham, nature magic, majestic buildings and architecture, large scale mining and quarrying. The world where humans coexisted with giants, titans, elves and the 'gods'. A world of mystery and magic. This podast tries to determine who were the Irish in this world, and what was the world that Ireland interacted with.  The Bollox Alert and the Hot Topic for the first time are one in the same - not surprising considering the world of contradictions we find ourselves trapped within!  Please Subscribe, Like and Share if you enjoy it.

The power of words touches all our lives, never more urgently than when those words form laws. In the first of an ongoing series, Darach talks to Eimear (Brehon Badass) and Gearóidín (Constitution Connoisseur) about how differently an area of law is treated in old and modern Ireland. Is it all progress? * * * Contact the show at https://twitter.com/motherfocloir or email us at motherfocloir@headstuff.org.

Caroline hosts the wondrous cultivated and cultivating Diana Beresford-Kroeger who embodies the assignment before us all of wedding science and myth, that our story-telling be irresistibly beguiling. Born into a notable family of Druid scholars, orphaned at an early age, schooled in Druid lore, multiple degrees in science, dedicated to Global Forests…http://www.stuartbernstein.com/dianaberesford-kroeger.html “Diana Beresford-Kroeger is a world recognized author and scientist with a unique background in both western science and the traditional ways of aboriginal peoples and the ancient world. Orphaned in Ireland in her youth, Beresford-Kroeger was educated by elders who instructed her in the Brehon knowledge of plants and nature. She went on to study classical botany and medical biochemistry and worked as a research scientist at Ottawa University and then at the Canadian Department of Agriculture Electron Microscopy Centre, where she discovered cathodoluminescence in biological materials. From 1973 to 1982, she conducted research at the University of Ottawa physiology department in conjunction with the Ottawa Heart Institute, specializing in hemodynamics. In the early 1980s, Beresford-Kroeger embarked on a significant change in her life's work. It began with an expansion of her private research garden and arboretum: Carrigliath. Having identified an absence in the scientific community of the ability to present science to the public and the urgent need to address the degradation of nature, she began her career in writing, broadcasting and lecturing. Flowing from her research and experience at Carrigliath, Beresford-Kroeger published over 200 articles in magazines, journals and newspapers in Canada, the United States and internationally. She also published five critically acclaimed books on nature and gardening. Her books include THE SWEETNESS OF A SIMPLE LIFE, THE GLOBAL FOREST, ARBORETUM BOREALIS: A LIFELINE OF THE PLANET, ARBORETUM AMERICA: A PHILOSOPHY OF THE FOREST, and A GARDEN FOR LIFE. She has served as a scientific advisor to a number of organizations, including the Irish Woodland League, Ecology Ottawa, Hidden Harvest of Ottawa, Canadian Organic Growers, Archangel Ancient Tree Archive and the Acadian Forest Research Centre and others. She has lectured widely across North America and Europe and has appeared on television and radio in Canada, the U.S., Europe and international short wave radio. For the last several decades, she has worked at Carrigliath, growing rare and endangered medicinal plants and trees. Beresford-Kroeger was inducted as a Wings Worldquest Fellow in 2010 and named one of Utne Reader's World Visionaries for 2011. In 2013, she was elected to the College of Fellows of the Royal Canadian Geographic Society. In 2016, CALL OF THE FOREST: THE FORGOTTEN WISDOM OF TREES, a feature film, television program and mobile app will be released.

Library Lunchtime Lecture by Dr Liam Breatnach, DIAS. Part of a series of lectures ‘Aon amharc ar Éirinn': Irish families and their manuscripts Behind every manuscript in the Academy collection lie the very real people from the past, the scribes, compilers and patrons of those manuscripts with all their varied interests, ambitions, and their particular view of the world and their place in it. The manuscripts in our collection are the principal tools for understanding the world of those scribes, scholars, patrons, keepers and readers of manuscripts, the leading families of medieval Ireland. The learned class formed part of the court of the native elite and they were accorded prominence in Irish society and were rewarded with hereditary tenure of land and other forms of wealth in return for their services. They maintained important schools of learning, where students were trained and manuscripts were copied. Many of them retained their privileged status down to the end of the sixteenth century. From July 2013 to February 2014, the Academy Library curated an exhibition which explored the themes of Seanchas ─ ‘the memory and narrative of Irish history as preserved and written from the early medieval period to the writing of histories of Ireland in the seventeenth century'; Filíocht ─ poetry; Reacht ─ law; Leaghas ─ medicine; and Creideamh ─ religion, as well as the stories of those who made these great books of Ireland.
