Kate Chadbourne - Invidious

Kate Chadbourne

Come dance with us at the crossroads where Irish folklore and tradition meet creative living and practice! Here you'll find Irish stories, proverbs, myths, and beliefs that encourage you to live and create with zest and verve, nourished by Irish wisdom and buoyed up by community support.

Hello, friend! I'm Kate Chadbourne, a professor of Irish language and folklore with a PhD in Celtic Studies from Harvard University, AND I'm a lifelong, busy creator - a poet, singer, storyteller, harper, composer, and writer.

I run the Bardic Academy, a school for singers, harpers, pianists, poets and writers, and the Celtic Wisdom School where we study Irish folklore and mythology with an emphasis on creativity, community, and personal growth.

Welcome to our Creative Community with its great heart and Irishy flair. I'm so glad you're here!
