Join us on a journey to the heart of Ireland as we welcome the extraordinary David Keohan, better known as Indiana Stones, to share his transformation from a life of revelry to a champion in kettlebell sport and a pivotal figure in resurrecting the ancient tradition of stone lifting in Ireland. Listen in as David recounts the rigorous training, dedication, and profound personal growth he encountered on his path to success. His tale isn't just about physical strength; it's a rediscovery of a rich cultural heritage that had been lying dormant for centuries, awaiting revival by those who honour the legacy of the land.

Our conversation then takes us across the sea to Scotland, where we immerse ourselves in the history of the clach cuid fir, or manhood stones. Hear about the emotional weight of lifting the Fianna Stone, and the broader context of standing stones and megalithic structures that dot the British Isles. These are not just stones; they are stories etched in granite, marking rites of passage and connecting us to a time when physical prowess intertwined with spiritual significance.

Finally, as we wrap up we explore the captivating search for Ireland's lifting stones, including the Limo Flautist stone, a narrative that beautifully weaves together themes of strength, memory, and the cycle of life. Celebrate with us the moment when David's quest to lift a storied stone reaches a triumphant crescendo, uniting the threads of folklore and reality in a community's embrace. David's insights leave us reflecting on the undercurrents of life, the tales that live beneath the surface, urging us to keep the spirit of these stories alive for generations to come. Don't forget to engage with our community on social media and become a part of preserving these legacies.
