I am intrigued by the stories we live by. A guiding question for my own life is concerned with what personal and collective stories support us in living in a mutually enhancing manner on this earth. My work here at the school and in my wider life as an educator is in support of this inquiry.

For the past eight years I have worked as an outdoor environmental educator. The fields of ecopsychology and Deep Ecology continue to be a significant influence in my work. Equally significant is an enduring appreciation of contemplative practice, and I have benefited from many months of silent retreat throughout my life. I feel it is the power of community that will bring us through these times if anything will, and the work here at the school reminds me of this.  Email:  caiyloirch@googlemail.com
