When the water mysteriously disappears from the well in a warrior clan’s village, an intrepid child descends into the belly of the earth to retrieve it.

Éiru is the story of a child in search of a challenge, and a goddess in search of a champion.

ÉIRU EDUCATION PROGRAMME

The Éiru education programme is created by Our Story and funded by the Lifes2Good Foundation. The film is inspired by the discovery of lost goddess cultures around the world, and the visionary work of Dr. Riane Eisler and her bestselling book The Chalice and the Blade.

You are welcome to deliver these workshops in your local school or community - click here to download the exercises for free and please share with kindred spirits!

The programme is designed for lifelong learning, intergenerational community groups, secondary school students (age 12+), university students (especially sustainability, earth sciences, social science, policy, or civic engagement tracks).

Each workshop takes you through three distinct stages of the social pedagogy methodology: the head (discover), the heart (reflect), and the hands (act). This ensures that learning is both comprehensive and deeply felt. This is not a linear education model - it’s a spiral journey designed to guide you through continuous cycles of learning, healing and deepening your relationship with nature.

Thanks to our dream team who co-created this programme: Dr. Emma Black, Dr. Easkey Britton, Melanie Lynch, Andrew Simpson, and Szabolcs Karikó. Design by Rosa Ballester and original artwork by Cartoon Saloon. 

Our team has curated a collection of inspirational resources including films, podcasts, books, articles, and websites in this Padlet.
