The assessment is a combination of the heritage significance and curative traditions associated with Holy Wells and the development of a way to assess the role Holy Wells play in our everyday wee-being. The project will invite the public to visit two specific Holy Wells and be part of a quantitative study to assess the impact on people well-being through visiting a Holy Well.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-GB\">Clifton Redmond (Poet) has produced a series of poems about the first phase of the project. We will be publishing the series of poems that track the development of the project and the heritage of the Holy Wells in 2026.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-GB\">As part of this year\u2019s project, we are working towards the development of a suitable metric to see how we can demonstrate the role that engaging with heritage can have on people\u2019s wellbeing in County Carlow. Aisling O\u2019Connor (Psychologist\/ Counsellor) will be engaging with those present about their wellbeing and encouraging people to undertake\/ get involved a simple questionnaire to assess their wellbeing during the day. (As this is a wellbeing exercise, we will be asking people to switch off the phones, limit the photos and engage with the Holy Well in its landscape setting).<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":38177,"template":"","class_list":["post-38176","event","type-event","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Creative Carlow&#039;s Holy Well- Life Springs Eternal - Creative Ireland Programme<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Creative Carlow\u2019s Holy Project- Life Springs Eternal is an inter-generational heritage project, assessing the history and heritage of Holy Wells in County Carlow.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.creativeireland.gov.ie\/en\/event\/creative-carlows-holy-well-life-springs-eternal\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Creative Carlow&#039;s Holy Well- Life Springs Eternal - Creative Ireland Programme\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Creative Carlow\u2019s Holy Project- Life Springs Eternal is an inter-generational heritage project, assessing the history and heritage of Holy Wells in County Carlow.
