SKILL SHARING - Open House formula

 

 

When no courses are running, we offer an Open House "skill sharing" option for those who wish to spend time learning new skills in a quiet setting.

This means, that you can come (on your own or with a few friends) on dates that suit you, when no formal courses are running and for a minimum of two nights. Every day, you spend a minimum of two hour with one of us, learning a specific skill. The tuition is personalized to suit your own needs, and emphasis is put on learning by doing,

 

You have the rest of the day to relax, explore the island or read (we have an extensive library from which you can borrow books about the skill you are learning).

 

The following skills can be taught in this way:

 

    - Dairying (milking and processing milk into yogurt, kefir and various types of cheese) SPRING AND SUMMER ONLY

    - Natural hoof care (barefoot trimming)

    - Organic gardening (SPRING AND SUMMER ONLY)

    - Preserving food (bottling, juicing, making jam and chutneys, lacto-fermenting vegetables) JUNE TO OCTOBER ONLY

    - Sourdough bread making

    - Using horses for draft work

    - Vegetarian cooking

    - Yoga (see our yoga centre's website: www.yogaretreats.ie )

 

 

Cost of this open house option is 90 euros/night, and includes two to three hours of individual tuition, organic vegetarian food and accommodation.

If you want to bring a partner or a friend, the cost (without tuition) is 60 euros/ night / pps.
