Description

Hello all (:

My name is Ailbhe (al-va). I am an Irish writer, artist , yoga teacher and lifelong learner.

with a love of plants, writing, art, and adventure, I hope to bring skills and learn something new everywhere I go. I am on workaway because I like to be immersed in the culture of different people and places, its an amazing way to connect and share.

I first joined work away in 2019 when I had a few years travelling planned in Australia , but was disrupted due to the pandemic - life moved others ways, swings and roundabouts, and here we are again. :D I am so grateful to explore this beautiful country at last.

Currently I’m studying an MA in Illustration: Authorial practice in Cornwall.
I am focusing my practice and research on the relationship between people, plants and poetry, and the power of storytelling in deepening our connection to Earth. I like to bring nature into my practice - whether as paint itself or as performance/ photography. I love to use my hands!

I enjoy being active anywhere windy and wild, learning about the wildlife and plants around me, connecting with people, writing stories, sharing ideas, philosophy, reading insightful books, conscious and sustainable living.
Another passion is plant based meals/ cooking.
I like to maintain a positive attitude in whatever I am doing, staying fully present and fluid. I love being part of a team!

I enjoy community living, having gone to boarding school and have lived amongst flatmates, roommates and friends in the years since. I understand that we are all one, connected and united (:

- experience in gardening and looking after the earth / environment having volunteered in local community gardens the past years

- experience looking after young children, working in a kindergarten where I was in charge of leading group activities and helping students stay engaged.

- completed a TEFL qualification and have experience teaching English to students.

- 5 years experience with teaching yoga in various spots such as community, studios, parks, gyms.. I teach a mindful hatha flow with big emphasis on pranayama.

- LOVE animals of all kinds and have a life experience caring for them

- enjoy cooking, with experience cooking for large groups in retreats, families and events.

I believe it’s important to laugh, work and play hard.
Nice to meet you! (-:
