Alex Mytton
Heralding from the slightly different frequencies of the TV world, dance music and extreme hedonism Alex’s life has now taken a somewhat different path. Instigated in part through the immensely painful yet powerful force that is grief, Alex through seeking remedy from his own struggles with loss, addiction & a lack of purpose has immersed himself into learning ways to heal, reconnect to nature and to reframe what it means to really live the human experience.
Born from a deep desire to share the things he has discovered, Alex has dedicated the last 4 years of his life to seeking out ways to create safe spaces, communities and intentional experiences to offer others a chance to heal, reconnect and gather in the same way he has.
His focus now shifts towards foraging a deeper re-integration to the natural world, regeneration and how to live in a supportive community as he sees this as a true, long term remedy to many of humanity’s modern maladies.
He hosts and shares from a place of total openness and brutal honesty and he absolutely loves bringing people together to share and revel in the beauty of the human experience in all its twists, turns, confusions & complexities.
Marian Boswall
Marian is best known for her thoughtful and regenerative approach to land design and to life. From flood plain restoration to historic estate masterplans and soulful gardens, to talking about how we can live in harmony with all that is beyond the everyday; she weaves her deep respect for our ecology, history and our future into her work, from the soil, to the gut, to the spirit.
A Fellow of the Landscape Institute, Marian’s projects invest in the land for the very long term. Kindness is a deeply embedded ethos. Marian works with the way the land can heal and connect us on all levels.

The Happy Pear
We’re identical twins Dave & Steve, technically we are mirror twins also, Dave is right handed and right footed and Steve left handed and left footed! Anyhow, we grew up in Greystones, Co. Wicklow the eldest of 4 boys. As identical twins we were super competitive! This meant by the time we were 19 we were playing semi professional rugby, we both played baseball for Ireland, We played off 2 & 3 handicap in golf and we did modelling as it was a good way to meet girls!! At that time we ate a standard meat and 2 veg diet and loved drinking beer with our rugby friends.
After studying business in college, in 2001, aged 21 we went travelling separately to see what else life had on offer. Steve went to Canada to be a snowboard instructor and Dave went to South Africa to become a golf professional. Within a couple of weeks we both independently became plant based and gave up alcohol and got very interested in spirituality and food. We spent the next couple of years travelling around the world delving deep into these 2 new interests from meditation centres to permaculture farms, organic biodynamic farms, alternative community, rainbow gatherings. Then in 2003 Steve called up Dave and asked him if we wanted to help start a ‘food revolution’! This was the seed of The Happy Pear.
Fast forward almost 20 years and the mission is still the same, to create a healthier, happier world and build community! Now The Happy Pear has 3 main business units that all serve the same goal of helping people to eat more veg!
