John Moriarty Institute for Ecology and Spirituality

John Moriarty Institute for Ecology and Spirituality is a dedicated cultural centre that celebrates the life, thought and creative legacy of the extraordinary Irish writer, storyteller and philosopher John Moriarty. Operating from an online hub, the Institute curates a rich collection of Moriarty’s own writings – including the 2005 compendium *Invoking Ireland, Ailiu Iath n‑hErend* – as well as a growing archive of scholarly essays, podcasts and video material that explore his intertwining of myth, ecology, philosophy and spirituality.

The Institute’s core services include a searchable library of Moriarty’s texts, featured books and critical analyses such as Dr Michael W. Higgins’s essay “Time to Reclaim the Legacy of John Moriarty”. It also organises a lively programme of events: newsletters, podcasts (e.g. *The Bog Shaman*), conferences like the 2026 “Rural Futures / Todhchaí na Tuaithe”, and an International Reading Group, providing a platform for scholars, creatives and anyone drawn to Ireland’s cultural and environmental heritage.

By offering accessible digital resources, scholarly commentary and community‑building activities, the John Moriarty Institute serves educators, researchers, artists and the wider public who wish to engage with Moriarty’s unique blend of ecological insight and spiritual inquiry.
