It was a pleasure and a privilege to talk to Conchobhar Ruadh (B.S.c Psychology), who is a hypnotherapist, meditation teacher, and advocate of the Irish language. His work explores decolonisation and our relationship to an Ghaeilge. Conor is also a Gaeilgeoir raising his child through Irish and currently in his first year of a shamanic apprenticeship.

We speak about the healing nature of relearning our native tongue, and the antidote that is to intergenerational trauma, including addiction, shame, and pain. Conchobhar ardently extols the benefits of raising children through Irish. We emphasise renouncing perfectionism and throwing off the shackles of judgement and underconfidence in order to reach your potential.

Bainigí taitneamh as! Enjoy it!

Míle buíochas, a Chonchobhair

So much gratitude, Conchobhar
