Darragh Stewart (Phd) is the co-founder of Inwardbound. In his early-twenties, Darragh reached a turning point in his life. Due to the death of his grandmother, the ending of a long-term relationship, and the immense pressure of his University studies, he had a mental breakdown. 

Darragh had a life-changing break-through both mentally and spiritually, with the aid of psychedelic medicines, breathwork, and the power of holistic healing.

As a scientist, he is keen to cut through faux spirituality and is interested in bridging the gap between science and spirituality. Having had such a positive journey with Psychedelics he is now passionate about helping others who may also benefit from the emerging science of psychedelics by holding the retreats and collecting scientific data. He has worked with over 100 people through their psilocybin sessions and is currently writing a paper on the effects of Psilocybin on mental health.

Irish perspectives from an Argentinian fairy, Séamus Draoigall (born Santiago) is an Argentinian illustrator with a passion for Irish mythology, history and heritage who uprooted his life to move to Ireland and involve himself in the culture.
Séamus is a director of the Gaelic Woodland Project and has co-created the  Fairy Council  of Ireland. 
Séamus's  research into Irish studies led him to consider the question of Unity in Ireland and offered him fresh perspectives about the story of the Irish people, how did we get here and where we may go.

After realising I had been holding back from sharing my thoughts I decided to try a ramble and see what came out.  Whether it makes sense or not, it feels freeing to share it! Cormac
