Dr Hardiman is a Psychologist, Philosopher, Educator, and Author who has published books on topics such as Childhood trauma, addiction, ideology, and Mass evil.  What is evil? Thats a trickier question than you may think. It seems we have always known the word, and have some images of evil doers or evil deeds in mind. However, what is evil goes a tad deeper.. It's a question about the concept of evil, what are we saying when we use that word.  How does evil manifest, and can we as individuals do anything to guard against doing evil ourselves? Join us and find out!

Aonghus began over a decade ago and after many seasons of hard work, An Garraí Glas is becoming a thriving farm. A place for education in principles of permaculture and living in a kinship with the land.  And also carrying on ways of being through music and language that have been present in the area for as long as the stories go back.
