The country, viewed 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.
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.
The long table, set for ten.
Conversations, not lectures.
A weekend of conversation, not a holiday. 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.
A few moments at Drift.
The house, the fire, the water and the long table, among the drumlins of Monaghan.
