Over 10 years ago she landed at the Hill of Uisneach on Summer Solstice, met by elders and guardians honouring the old ways, this special moment propelled her path into a deep connection with the power of place on the island of Éiriú.
This was a profound catalyst, opening up her heart and journey to coming into relationship with the elemental and cyclicial ways of life, which naturally opened up a deeper communion with the ancestors and guardians of the land, the Tuatha Dé Danann.
Sitting around the hearth and remembering the power of prayer, has brought her path into a powerful living relationship and conversation with how she can tend the children's fire, as an Irish woman who will one day become an ancestor.
Ceremony, song and community have shaped her journey and supported her to remember the ways of the ancient ones, the grandmother's wisdom and the ancient ways of the Caoineadh (ancient keening tradition of Ireland) keeper of thresholds, is at the core of her Soul's journey and place within the village she is remembering along the way.
Her background in Sound, Voice, Ceremony, Quantum Coherence Therapy, Yoga Nidra and Somatic Studies such as Yin Yoga, as well as her undergraduate degree in Anthropology and Media, creates a strong foundation upon which she guides others into spaces of listening, dreaming and remembering their own hearth fires, their voices and their own soul’s song. But most of all it is the land, and connection with the waters and places that has brought her into this connection and remembrance which is the guiding light for her own journey, which she feels so blessed and humbled to share at this time on the Earth.

Aron Hegarty is a dedicated yoga instructor, storyteller, and performer whose journey into yoga was deeply personal. After practicing for fifteen years, he travelled to India to train as a teacher, using yoga to overcome a traumatic injury. This experience cemented his belief in the power of movement, breath, and storytelling to foster resilience, creativity, and self-sufficiency.
Aron encourages his students to meet life’s challenges with an open heart and mind. While yoga poses provide a foundation, true transformation happens when breath and mind unite, expanding our awareness and deepening our connection to ourselves and the natural world.
Originally from Cork and now based in Dublin, Aron grew up in a household that nurtured creativity and insight into the human condition. An actor with Lisa Richards Agency and a storyteller of Irish myths with Candlelit Tales, he seamlessly weaves narrative into his yoga practice under the name Fadó Yoga. His approach blends the ancient stories behind asanas with the rich mythology of Ireland, creating a fully embodied and immersive experience.
A performer at heart, Aron uses his well-trained voice to guide, challenge, and support his students, helping them unlock the meditative and transformative aspects of yoga. Beyond the mat, he is also a writer, with his first book on Celtic mythology set for publication later this year, a recognized voice-over artist in Dublin, and a board member of the Gaelic Woodland Project, (a charity dedicated to reformatting irelands native woodland)

From there, she dabbled in a range of dance styles, from tap to ballet and jazz, and became part of the Dance team in college.

You might actually not like to hear what she’s saying… It might be uncomfortable.
It might evoke the voice in you that you don't always listen to (from that deeper side of yourself)…
You might feel challenged & unwilling to change a view...
You might think: Who is this young woman & why does she think she knows so much…
She’s gonna say it straight & cut to the truth... & Sometimes, truth creates resistance.
Even if truth is what we wish to live in, even if living in your own truth makes you feel free more than anything else… still truth often seems dangerous.
Because truth brings CHANGES. Changes that bring you closer to your own pure desires. Always!
And what does that resistance to change represent or stem from... A place that's worth sitting with, listening to & diving into.
Let’s welcome the resistance and the emotions behind that to be seen and purified.
All you need to do is to give up the need to connect what you are going to hear with what you already know.
Just give up the need to make it logical for yourself!
What if that is all you need, to start to experience your desired life: health, wealth, love, joy...Come and meet your deeper sense of consciousness. Meet the practicality in YOU being the Creator of YOUR life. You will get at least one practical way how to evoke yourself to see truth about your desires during this masterclass.

Ella Szczerbak is a ceramic artist, creative facilitator, and founder of The Mood Designs, a pottery studio she established in 2012. With over 13 years of experience running group workshops across Ireland, she has dedicated her journey to exploring the deep connection between clay, creativity, and self-expression.
Last year at Wild & Well Festival, Ella launched her Savage Soulware collection—an intuitive, symbolic series of hand-painted stoneware that explores ancient symbols, transformation, and personal meaning. This collection marks a new chapter in her work, allowing her to experiment with techniques that honor both tradition and innovation while deepening her connection to the raw, expressive nature of clay.
Ella runs her ceramic studio in Castlebar, Co. Mayo, with her husband, Lukasz, where they design and create their pottery, teach ceramics, and facilitate community-driven workshops, group gatherings, and ‘Paint a Pot’ activities. Their studio is not only a space for creativity but also a hub for supporting Irish craft and design, showcasing a carefully curated selection of handmade works from talented makers across Ireland.
At Wild & Well Festival, Ella invites participants to experience the therapeutic, grounding power of clay, guiding them through workshops that celebrate intention, presence, and self-expression.
