Uillinn: West Cork Arts Centre

A conversation with the artist Sonia Caldwell and Celtic monk and priest, Dara Molloy

West Cork Arts Centre

To expand on the themes explored in Athmhúscail (Reawake), an exhibition by Sonia Caldwell, we have invited Dara Molly to join Sonia in conversation about his personal beliefs and spiritual journey in modern Ireland. Dara describes himself as a Celtic priest, monk and druid. Originally ordained within the Catholic priesthood, he now follows a path rooted in Celtic spirituality while maintaining a strong connection to the Christian tradition. His perspective on religion is one of openness and acceptance, emphasising a deep connection with the natural world. Dara lives on Inis Mór, the largest of the Aran Islands off the coast of Galway.Aligned with the themes of the exhibition, this talk will delve into the spaces left by the decline of traditional religious connections. It will also explore our relationship with nature, reflecting on how earlier spiritual traditions fostered a greater respect and understanding of the natural world, and consider our hopes for the future.The event will open with some introductory music by a local group who have been exploring traditional ritual singing and chant.
