About Gaeltra
Gaeltra was born over several years. Our founder, Leona Cronin, had a vision to create a place, a space where children and adults can come to be free, to be themselves and explore their own inner landscape.
The literal translation for Gaeltra is “a group of wild children playing”! This rings so true for me and the team here as one of our aims is for all children and all people to have fun when you engage with us.
Gaeltra offers a wide range of activities and services supporting education & wellbeing for children and adults. Have a look on our annual events calendar and sign up today!
Our commitment to fostering a love for learning and a sense of belonging is at the heart of everything we do.
Creating Spaces for Exploration
At Gaeltra, we envision a world where everyone has the opportunity to explore their unique path in a nurturing environment. Our programs are designed to inspire creativity, independence, and a deep connection with nature.
We believe in the power of experiential learning and aim to provide spaces where children and adults alike can discover their passions and build meaningful relationships.
Our mission is to create a supportive environment where individuals can thrive, learn, and explore their potential. With a focus on holistic development, we offer a variety of programs that encourage personal growth and community engagement.
Through our diverse range of activities, including Forest School and adult workshops, we strive to cultivate a community that values freedom, exploration, and personal growth. Join us on this journey to unlock potential and embrace the joy of learning.
