Tara has long been interested in the traditional crafts of this and other lands. She has been involved in many creative projects, most recently creating sacred living willow spaces honouring the Celtic wheel of the year. She has also studied permaculture and has experience in horticulture and a range of natural building techniques. She was involved in the organisation of a small festival called “Seanchas” which aimed to promote the magic of ancient craft and facilitate people re-learning these age old techniques.
