Traditional Experiences Tour
September 4 - 15, 2008

Experience Ireland the Celtic Way!

Join international entertainer, Danny O’Flaherty, as he takes you back in time to experience the old way of life in Ireland: A way of life that is a part of Danny after having been brought up and immersed in this traditional Gaelic culture in Connemara and the Aran Islands.

On this 12 day tour, Danny’s first hand knowledge of the time-honored traditions of the Celtic people will enable him to share customs, rituals and local activities unlike on any other tour.

Experience:

A local pilgrimage aboard traditional fishing boats.
Hiking sacred mountains.
A local currach regatta.
Fishing off the cliffs of Inishmor with Danny and his friends.
A traditional bonfire celebration with music and dance.
Traditional farming methods, turf cutting and wool harvesting.
The camaraderie and magic of an impromptu music session.
The importance of kinship and community through a fundraising concert for a local charity.

On this tour you will explore the Gaeltacht region of western Ireland where the original Irish Gaelic language is still spoken. With Impromptu music Gaelic as his first language, Danny is uniquely qualified to guide the group through the origins of Irish culture and its people, among the very towns and villages he knows personally, that make up Ireland’s historic heart. Coming from a family of fisherman and farmers, Danny will take you out to those primitive islands where Celtic traditions are still alive. These places are reminiscent of ancient times where you will find spirituality amid the rocks, trees and flowers you travel among and the paths you will wander on.
