Inis Fáil is the first world’s Eurasian ethnic minorities “Wandering Matriskola on a Trailer” for world’s Peace & Tolerance wholly dedicated to the recovery & inclusion of residual pre-Abramitic, matrifocal Folk traditions from Europe and Asia revolving around the harmony between humans
and Nature , such as traditional pre-Christian Druidism, authentic Shamanism, Alchemy and Taoism.
Inis Fáil aims to present its work throughout Scandinavia, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom and Ireland through schools, museums, festivals, public institutions
‘Statute’
- Inis Fáilcommits primarily to the recovery and expression of female Kurdish and Ukranian refugees (mothers
with their children and women seeking asylum from the EU) as well as any locally resident female survivor of gendered
violence, domestic abuse, stalking, assaults or organised violence. Particular focus and priority is devoted to female survivors
or refugees of marginalised ethnic minorities or any globally endangered people who may need additional support for their
full physical and psychological recovery in ways not provided by mainstream institutional care, or people who may be or feel
severely socially redundant.
Inis Fáil next year may be able to register at a permanent address in Näsåker, in Sweden, where we have restored a 100 years old primary school to make the first International primary Matriskola in Europe, where your children can learn about erased cultures, ways of life and perspectives long erased by the mainstream society.
- Inis Fáilaims within the first 5 years since the official opening, to be equipped with professional figures trained
in the local or international criminal law system to offer free legal advocacy to female refugees and survivors, e.g. solicitors trained in criminal law. A figure that is constantly missing from all institutional “antiviolence women centres” offering at most incompetent psychologists for a short period of time to the ‘victims’, even though normally, the first thing that a survivor needs and most struggles to get is a solicitor trained in criminal law, because unfortunately mainstream society still seeks to treat the symptoms (‘victims’) and not the causes (perpetrators).
Such legal figures— which are currently pervasively UNAVAILABLE to survivors seeking
legal advice (and defence) with low financial means — are clearly vital to any antiviolence centre in order to
minimise as much as possible the unsafe set of circumstances that may pose real threat to the life of a woman and/or of her
children, friends and family. Furthermore without a restraining order and/or any relevant legal action, any form of PSTD would continue to escalate, along with the distressing/life-threatening circumstances, rendering any form of therapy ineffective.
The lack of such figures is clearly what makes institutional mainstream “anti-violence” centres shockingly useless and
unable to provide the emergency services needed by 100% of female survivors following an assault or escaping an abusive environment.
- Inis Fáilcommits to practicing Consensus and not to expel any member for personal conflicts, scapegoating or discrimination. Only the violation of the present Statute meant to be constitute the basis of Inis Fáil, will be asked to leave.
- Inis Fáilaims to providing a 360° spectrum of holistic tools and human resources to the effect of healing,
recovery and resilience primarily to the aid of refugees and survivors, their children, family and friends, through for instance:
inclusion in social and cultural events of multiple nature whereupon participants will be invited to represent their cultures
and personal histories through the visual arts, music, or dance; story telling, book presentations, documentary, docu-fiction;
cinema & theatre. Furthermore particular focus will be aimed to the self representation of the culture/s belonging to each
refugee or survivor seeking aid at Inis Fáil. Such protected categories will be able to teach or take part in workshops
activities, courses and seminars taught at Inis Fáil such as (i.e.): in anti- racism and cultural diversity awareness; Eurasian
suppressed ethnic minorities; radical inclusivity; socio-economic injustice and disparity; the principles of unselfish giving and of exchange on non personal basis; Non-violent communication and
Consensus Practices in contemporary indigenous cultures; the history of the witch-hunt, discrimination and scapegoating as a sociological phenomenon; indigenous art& music therapy, song and voice release; traditional visual arts & crafts; traditional martial arts;
music & theatre; natural Folk birth practices and birth techniques such as breath and pain control during birth-giving; clinical
hypnotherapy; voice therapy with sound release; drumming and chanting; short and long silence retreats.
- Inis Fáilcommits to take steps each year towards a wholly Off the Grid (OG) ecological self-sustainable estate to
be achieved within 5 years, comprising of a vegetable garden; solar panels and quite possibly a well for water access.
- Inis Fáilstrives to offer to all its members and participants permanently ongoing courses, seminars, workshops,
sauna and steaming tents, retreats, music & dance evening, and cultural diversity themed events which do in their entirety spring out of “Non-
violent Communication” & Consensus folk traditions.
- As a conditionsine qua non to entering or dealing with Inis Fáil in any manner, it is required to all members and
participants to join Inis Fáil’s 4 days course on Non-Violent Communication and Consensus practices so to promote an

Fáil’s common areas, indoors and outdoors in order to ensure all guests and participants can fully enjoy a sense of radical
