#23 David Keoghan - Stone Lifter
Episode 23: David Keoghan - Stone Lifter "It started off as just lifting a stone but now it has lifted a whole part of our culture! It's not just a stone, it's a story." My esteemed guest, David Keoghan, is the proud Waterford man, a world-champion kettle bell athlete, rediscovering his pride and passion in the Irish language, and leading a revival of bringing back a whole culture of Celtic stone lifting. This is a fascinating story connected to Irish mythology, an ancient important ritual, such an integral part of Irish life which was practically deserted. David's message of "Fill ar do dhúchas" - Return to your heritage, is resonating with people who are becoming aware of this connection. It's back and it's alive! David is leading groups who are keen to connect with the land, the ancestry, sacred sites, and their Gaelic soul. David is also relearning the bodhrán and the banjo, and his inspiring energy will give you an ardú croí heart lift! Go raibh míle maith agat, a chara! Thanks a million, friend! Bhain mé an-taitneamh as ár gcomhrá - I really enjoyed our conversation. Is laoch thú - You're a legend.
