Lucy Ní hAodhagáin is the founder of Wild Awake Ireland, an organisation which seeks to rekindle cultural and ecological resilience through the restoration of ancestral lifeways in Ireland. Lucy works in the fecund liminal zones between the cultural, ecological and spiritual, weaving together ancient wisdom with the dream of decolonial futures. 

Born and Bred, in Béal Feirste, Lucy now makes home beneath the watchful gaze of An Mhucais mountain in the Donegal Gaeltacht, all while deepening their love of An Ghaeilge by harvesting sleabhac from the rocks, following the tracks of Fia, and weaving criol baskets through the long winter months.

Currently, Lucy is taking part in the ‘WildBiome Project’; eating only wild harvested foods from Ireland for 3 months. 

Lucy is also the co-editor of Airmid’s Journal and a passionate committee member of Bród na Gaeltachta, Ireland’s first Gaeltacht pride festival in An Fál Carrach.
