Ancient Éire Wellness provides a platform that explores Neolithic Ireland's farming communities relationship with nature & their tracking of the sun, moon and stars for survival as agricultural communities. This meant their alignment with the Eight Fold Wheel of the Year & its Festivals played an important role within these communities.

Ireland's Mesolithic, hunter gatherer (Old stone age) society - that existed around 8500 - 4000 BCE, transitioned to these more organised Neolithic farming communities, around 4000 - 2500 BC. 

 
Ancient Irish Bee practices, Native Trees, flowers & Herbs, played an important role, in the wellness of these communities. They Acknowledged Life span transitions, and prior to the arrival of Christianity, tried to make sense of the world around them. 
The Bronze Age & Iron age followed, and let to the early and late Medieval ages, with the Early Modern Age leading us to our Present: Modern Age. 
 
Today scattered across our Irish landscape, institutions and organisations exist a plethora of Historical artifacts, Ancient Monuments, Manuscripts, holding stories, poems, artwork, to mention a few of the obvious items, providing us with clues and factual information relating to how our Irish ancestors lived their lives across the ages, & generations.
​
Nature has a way of soothing and restoring, a well communities across these timelines drew from consistently, right up to our present Modern Age, where Holy Wells in Ireland are still cared for, visited and cherished. The retrospective exploration of our Ancestors Respect for the life cycle of a person, their wellness, nature & it's seasons, makes for an interesting investigation, that throws up one common thread, survival, our need for connection, empathy and our dependence on each other.
