CELTIC STRENGTH

Storytelling

Stories are the bridges. The bridges connecting language, poetry, food, life outlook, music, and strength to cultural identity and place. Stories of feats of strength, in its many forms, tied to place, have a deep history in Celtic culture. 

Physical Prowess

Strength of body, through strength of mind and spirit. The Celts upheld strength and sport. We help preserve and enrich physical heritage traditions so they stay alive and relevant to a modern world. 

Landscape

Culture is inseparable from the landscape of nations. Ancient sites have served as physical anchors for Celtic heritage because nature was viewed as an animate force. Places are alive, connected to the people in them.​
