Alive and Kicking with Clare McKenna · Alive and Kicking Full Episode 21/06/26 · 21 Jun 2026 podcast

I love the mountains and being up high and actually the name of this place is called Arunachala which in Sanskrit means Arun is red or coloured or fiery and achala is a mountain or unmoving so it's the Arunachala means this unmoving fiery mountain

So that's how the name came.

It's a favourite place that I go to in India.

And so we christened it that.

It was called Dreamfields, which I thought was a bit dreamy.

Put it in a nutshell, yeah.

Oh, I came across Ayurveda in the School of Philosophy in Dublin first, through the study of Sanskrit.

Farmer is right.

Yes, I am a farmer.

Started off...

And with Horsham County Mead renting land.

And then they expanded about a bigger farm in Eden Derry in County Offaly.

And kept chasing land around the world.

So I had land in Ukraine, I had land in Estonia.

And still have farm in Estonia.

I'll be going there for the harvest, please God.

Oh my gosh, I saw an ad in the Time magazine years ago, Discover the Mystery of Life.

So I responded to the ad and it was an ad for the Rosicrucians.

Have you ever heard of them?

Well, you heard them now.
