Dancing the Path of the Inner Warrior with Diarmuid Lyng of Wild Irish Retreats

We're on the edge of a cliff and the way out is through - through the obfuscations and extractive values and downright lies of predatory capitalism.  Through to authenticity, and integrity and finding language for how we can be who we really are, what our souls yearn to be.  And that language is not always English. This week's guest, Diarmuid Lyng, speaks Irish - one of the older, indigenous languages of these islands. Listening to him is a genuinely fabulous experience in the truest sense of the word in that it lifts us to the place of myth and fable where our oldest stories are held, and we can reconnect with the bones of who we are so that we can carry our knowing forward into who we could yet be: who we will have to be, I'd say, if we're going to make it through the current pinch point; and who we will love being.Diarmuid is co-owner of Wild Irish Retreats and Nature of Man. He is a former Wexford hurling captain and a host on the Irish Newstalk's flagship sports programme 'Off the Ball'. With Wild Irish Retreats he is part of a team that is focused on the rejuvenation of the Irish language in relation to nature reconnection. With Nature of Man he runs retreats and online programmes with men that creates a space for them to do their own internal spiritual work. He also takes teams/groups of all kinds to the woods for overnight camps that focus on connection; to self, teammate and place. In all of this, Diarmuid is uncovering in people a previously hidden energy source that benefits the individual, the society and the web of life - and he does it with such authenticity, integrity and a really humble sense of what it is to be human in the world at this moment, that I found this whole conversation a genuinely magical exeperience. I hope you do too.
