She was brought up where the wisdom lives in the stones, if you know how to listen, she carries forward what she calls the Five Deep Wells of Irish Storytelling:

(*) Myth and Legend,

(*) Stories of Place and Stone,

(*) Diaspora Stories,

(*) Bean Feasa Wisdom Stories

(*) Co-Created Stories.

 

With 22 years of corporate experience culminating in her role as European Operations Manager, Maria bridges ancient oral tradition with modern life. Her work brings the warmth of the Irish fireside into festivals, leadership spaces, and community gatherings across the world.
