Set in a landscape all its own.
A private gathering, by arrangement.
The country, view from within.
A curated weekend, ready to join. Three hosted conversations across the economy, the peace and the culture, with voices who have shaped each.
For founders, investors, family offices and the internationally curious. Three nights, Friday to Monday, for eight to ten guests, seventy minutes from Dublin and ninety from Belfast.
The long table, set for ten.
Three voices, one weekend, the real Ireland.
Not a tour and not a lecture. Three private conversations at the table and by the fire, each with someone who has lived the subject, held under the Chatham House Rule.
The Economy
How a small island became one of the most open, high-technology economies in the world, what it took, where the value sits, and where it goes from here.
In conversation with an economist who advises at the top.
Power & the Peace
The State, the border and a peace made within living memory, read from a house within sight of the line, and what the next chapter may hold.
In conversation with a figure from public life.
Identity & Culture
The literature, the music and the language that carry the place and shape its identity, why a small country has given the world so many of its writers, and what a new Ireland sounds like by the fire.
In conversation with a writer and a musician.
And through it all, the table: Irish food and the land it comes from, long lunches in the open air, and the house yours between the conversations. Speaker names are shared privately, once the theme and the group are set.
Conversations, not lectures.
The three conversations are drawn out at the table and by the fire, under the Chatham House Rule, never from a podium.
Arrive Friday.
We take care of everything, including your transfers from either airport. From the moment you land, the house, the food and the land are yours for four days.
The conversations, by the fire.
Three voices across the weekend, drawn out in conversation rather than slides, with time to think between them.
Home Monday.
A last breakfast together, then private transfers to either airport. The names are shared privately, and every table is by application.
