I have exciting news today. I'm holding a virtual retreat on 1st February 2025. All the details are here.

There is an early bird price available until 5pm Irish time on 6th January. This is a virtual event,...

I got a pretty good response to the idea of a retreat over the holiday season. So, here you go - 5pm Irish time, Saturday 28th December. And yes, recording will be available afterwards. Sign up here. I find this a very soothing image I'm estimating 2hrs long, opening circle, meditation, bit of chat, interaction, engagement, maybe a few cards... we'll see how it goes. Closing circle. Recording available as soon as I can manage afterwards, so you can access it whenever you wish. Hope to see you...

I wanted to give ye all 2 things today. (And I'm still dying of a cold, so it'll be a short email today as well. A full weekend in bed and still struggling with it. But thankfully the horrible temperature appears to have settled now) Anyway, back to the points. 1) Since you're lovely people and agree to receive my ramblings on a mostly-regular basis, here's 10% off any course on the school right now. Just use coupon code EMAILLIST to get the 10% off. 2) I'm thinking of putting together a...

Well ok, never might be overstating the case. But today is the last day to sign up for Building a Daily Practice with Brigid if you want to finish the course by Imbolc 2025. So, up to you!! Start your daily practice with Brigid here! Now, I have to admit that emails over the next two weeks might be a bit hit and miss. I've just come back to work after two wonderful days with my niece, where we celebrated Christmas with all the Costellos (and my husband, who at this point, might as well be an...

Hope everyone is well? Anyone who saw my post on Threads or Instagram yesterday will know I'm suffering a bit. However, I have just acquired the Holy Trinity of Ibuprofen, Paracetemol and VIcks' Menthol Inhaler to help clear my blocked sinuses. Fingers crossed they all start working soon! A few months back, I said whatever the election results, I would host a retreat for Imbolc this year. Now with the Presidential results in for the US, it's clear I won't be voluntarily travelling to the US...

Obviously as a good Irishwoman living by traditional calendars (when it suits me anyway!), winter started back at Samhain for me. However, the weather has dropped significantly in the last few weeks. Between Storm Darragh dropping in on us in between two very cold spells, it's definitely wintry weather in this country right now. But it's a good reminder of a few things. 1) Winter is traditionally a time for rest and recuperation in agricultural societies. And Ireland still is fairly...

Just a short one today folks. I posted in the Facebook group yesterday asking would people be interested in the "Building a Daily Practice with Brigid" course again. And they were. So I'm opening it again for a few weeks. And just as an aside, if you start before 13th December, you'll have loads of time to get through everything before Imbolc. So as a reminder, here's what you get: Journal to help you along the way Pre-recorded videos, to tackle this in bite-sized chunks Prayers, including...
