What if the wisdom we need to navigate modern life isn’t ahead of us, but behind us—hidden in the land, language, and traditions of our ancestors?
In this episode, Niall sits down with Manchán Magan—writer, documentary maker, and explorer of ancient cultures—to uncover the deep-rooted wisdom woven into Ireland’s history. Manchán has spent years traveling the world, living with indigenous communities, and delving into the lost traditions of our own land. Together, they discuss the Irish connection to nature, the power of language in shaping our perception of the world, and what we can learn from our ancestors about living a more meaningful, connected life today. They also explore how ancient rituals, storytelling, and a simpler way of being can help us find balance in an age of constant noise. If you’ve ever felt the pull of something deeper—something older—this will encourage you to listen to the land, embrace stillness, and reconnect with the wisdom that has always been there, waiting.
