Are you drawn to the Irish Brigid and/or Irish spirituality in general?

Are you interested in deepening or beginning a Brigid-led spiritual practice?

If so, this class is for you.


In this four week virtual class (with the option to add a live study-hall), you’ll explore the myths of Brigid from an authentic Irish perspective, develop ritual and Magickal practice, and utilize messages and insight from Brigid myths to enhance and expand your spiritual journey.


Each class will include:

  • Exploration and discussion of Brigid myth
  • Brigid prayers and suggested rituals rooted in Native Irish practices
  • Meditation work designed deepen connection with Brigid and inspire creative work
  • Writing prompts designed to spark creativity, address fears around writing, and break through creative blocks
  • Weekly assignments designed to challenge, deepen, and support your spiritual journey and expand creative abilities

Optional add-on: Virtual Study Hall with Courtney and Orlagh. In the study hall sessions, bring your writing work for feedback, discuss your creative or spiritual challenges or experiences, and get personal support on your creative and/or Brigid-led journey.

All classes will be recorded! Can't make one? Or any? Register and get access to all recordings for 30 days after final class.

My particular weird and wonderful method is using the bank holiday weekend we now get in Ireland. So, my celebration starts today. I'll leave out my brat Bhríde tomorrow night. I'll be lighting candles, holding rituals and running retreats...

Hi folks, I've been getting a lot of questions about the Inner Flame retreat, happening on Sunday! So based on the premise that if one person is asking, 10 more are thinking the question, here we go! What actually happens during the day? The Inner Flame is a live, one‑day online retreat held over five spacious hours. The day is gently structured, with periods of guided ritual, meditation, quiet reflection, and rest, as well as intentional pauses away from the screen. Nothing moves quickly....
