Dare to Dream
PROJECT 5K

"The crackling firewood, bore little heat, still, I huddled it after my bone-rattling surf. It spoke in spits of damp hisses. The silent frigidity of Welsh air, punctuated only by the waves on the rocks a short distance away. Flames snaked upward, I defrosted gloved hands. The backdrop of hues, melded ocean and sky and wrapped my mind in a blanket-blue of hopeful dreams, staring hypnotically into amber embers, I prayed for answers to a question I hadn't yet befriended."


An excerpt from Tom's forthcoming book, 'The Terroir of Being.'

Everything is a dream, and our thoughts, once concentrated and distilled into action become our reality. Dream kindly, with love.
Only in the last few years is a sense of who I am and what my role on this planet, in this lifetime, actually might be. The question of how I can live the fullest expression of my authentic self always being the driving force.

I believe that this, Project 5k, is my way of belonging/giving back to the world, at a time when the world arguably needs it most. I invite you to join me, to support me graciously as we learn about who we all are and the roles we all play in these times.

Below are the before and after pictures of The Gallery, an unused building in a dead alleyway, that I transformed and breathed life into, and in the process helped change the face of natural wine in Ireland, promoting Irish products and supporting other small-scale Irish businesses in the process. For less than the price of a dinner for two, you get a signed copy of my first book and also a 1/1000 chance to win a week-long holiday in a project you will help to materialise.

Join Project 5k and let's build something connective together.

Project 5k Timeline
Launch the new Gallery website & events schedule
I have been working non-stop to update and redesign my business website, in order to reflect just how far I have come over the last eight years and to highlight the achievements that hard work and many, many long hours have accomplished. I invite you to learn about my projects and help support me in my dreams, as I help support others.
Launch The Gallery Podcast and Project 5k
Over the last few years, I have been collecting and recording images, video and audio to put together the bones of a podcast series. I feel that I have something valuable to share with you, and with the world and I ask you to support me in this process and join in the stories, humour and human-kindness that I aim to promote. Thank you.
Launch the official Kickstarter P5K campaign
I will launch the official crowd-funding campaigns, across suitable platforms, this will increase the reach of the project and ideally help fund two other community-based projects that are designed to address food sovereignty and help local people build food security and community-driven food and sustainability.
