We planted a new flower bed at the entrance, some of the flowers come from our farm and some were gifted by our friend Irene, who along with Damian helped to create this new flower bed to welcome guests. It is important to us to plant visually colorful flowers as well as edibles so we planted a mix of fruit and pretty flowers and mulched them all with homemade woodchips.
Developments at the Urn Field
We have dedicated a space for the ancestors in our woodland. We call this place the Urn Field, it is a place where you can scatter or bury ashes of loved ones who have passed on. We have cleared around a beautiful big boulder made of sandstone and quartz and placed a Blessing Stone on top of this boulder for you to send blessings to loved ones on their journey from the Realm of Land back to Tír na nÓg.

A Healing Meditation with Trees
We have found some beautiful places for you to sit and meditate in the woodlands. First we planted the trees, then we waited and provided help where needed, now the trees have grown and are creating their own shape and place of healing. We had a tree come down in a bad storm, we kept some of the wood for fire wood and with some of the wood we hand crafted meditation stools. These have been strategically placed at trees so that you can sit comfortably with your back against the trunk of a tree. This allows you to harmonise your energy field by connecting to the energy field of the tree. More on this project later with pictures...
Refurbishment of Temple Crom
With great thanks and appreciation to our friends, members and special donors and of course our wonderful volunteers we would like to announce that Temple Crom's refurbishment is now complete. Its even got new woodchips on the ground of Temple Crom and the Yew tress at the entrance have been pruned for safety and access reasons. This wooden circular temple is now 15 years old and has had its main structural timbers reinforced with buttresses. New tapestries of Crom agus Corra surround the great Tree of Life. Pictures in our next blog.
Woodland Tours and Healing Meditations
At Celtic Druid Temple we'd love to welcome you and show you around on a tour. The tour is styled as a Q&A, so feel free to ask as many questions as you like as we walk around the Temple and its woodlands. If you'd like to relax and recharge we are also here to help you. We have created safe spaces for you to sit with the Trees, Ard Druí Niamh will guide you on our special and unique form of meditation with trees. You can book your place here.
Ducks and ducklings in our Pond!
In Autumn 2024 we dug a new pond in the centre of the woodland and we've just spotted something amazing. Earlier on in the year we noticed a flock of ducks had been visiting and whilst Niamh was giving a tour during this week she and her guest spotted something truly beautiful....a mama duck and her 3 tiny ducklings swimming across the pond. We have, of course, set up the trail cam but haven't been successful as yet....watch this space!!
