⚡👣 Brigid's Path - Changes Happening Now!


Before I dive into the meat of today's email, I'd like you to take a wander over to Instagram and check out my last few posts. I was experimenting with pin curls and had some fun.

Hair will return to normal - thankfully - in a few hours!

Onto the more serious topics then.

I've been running the Brigid's Path Collective for a few years now. I opened it to the public in 2024, and the last two years in particular have been truly amazing. The results people experience during their time are incredible to witness: the confidence, the clarity, the deepening connection with their spiritual path.

But I want to be honest with you.

While the group coaching model is powerful, it’s also very resource-heavy. It asks a lot of me, and it asks a lot of you too. I see people feeling guilty when they miss classes, even though life happens, and truly, there’s no need for that pressure.

So this year, I’ve been sitting with a question:

Is there a way to offer this journey that still holds depth and support… without the weight that comes with the current model?

Because the journey itself? That part isn’t changing.

We’re still moving from:

🔄
✨ Feeling unsure what path is right
✨ Struggling with “shoulds” and expectations
✨ Wanting something that feels truly aligned
✨ Feeling drawn to Brigid but not fully connected

Into:

🌿
✨ A clear and personally aligned spiritual path
✨ A lived, meaningful relationship with Brigid
✨ Trust in your own inner guidance
✨ A sense of grounded, embodied spirituality

That transformation is at the heart of everything I do, and it’s not going anywhere.

But I also know this:

Not everyone wants (or is able) to commit to a fully coached experience like the Collective.
And at the same time, First Steps on Brigid’s Path, being entirely self-paced, can feel a little too solitary for some.

So I’ve been quietly exploring something in between.

A middle ground.

Right now, I’m calling it:

Brigid’s Path — The Journey 🌙

A way of walking this path with support… but without pressure.

Something that offers:

🌿 Space to move at your own pace
🕯️ Gentle structure to keep you grounded in the work
🤍 Support, without expectation or guilt
🌊 Connection, without overwhelm

I’m still shaping what this will look like, but it feels like a really important next step — both for me, and for how this work can meet you where you are.

And I’d truly love your input as I shape it. If you feel able, please select one of the answers below.

And if you want to share more about what you’d need from something like this, I’d really love to hear that too.

I read every reply, and your voice genuinely helps shape what this becomes.

I’ll be building this with your responses in mind and I can’t wait to share what unfolds 🌿

P. S. You can of course check out First Steps on Brigid's Path right now and go for that option! Otherwise, I will be looking to start this new middle ground option - if people are interested - around May. Ish.

Hi, I'm Orlagh, of Brigid's Forge

I'm dedicated to helping women in particular develop their spiritual path in life. I'm focused heavily on Brigid in Ireland, although not all my followers are! I teach, speak, coach and mentor people to help them along their own individual path, based on what lore we have, but also allowing for each individual path to develop as it needs to.

I want to tell you something I'm not entirely proud of. For a good few years after I left the church, I was what I now think of as a spiritual magpie. I attended courses, oh gods... so many courses. I picked up crystals. I bought posters with Sanskrit on them. I had a set of cheap "chakra" towels that I genuinely thought meant something. I collected bits and pieces from traditions I knew nothing about, stripped of all their cultural context, and arranged them around my house like they added...

You're getting this email because you told me you were interested in The Guided Path. I want to make sure you see this. The doors are open. I published a post this week that I think will land for you, it's about the specific feeling that surfaces during weekends like Easter when you're no longer inside a religious community but haven't yet built something to replace it. That in-between space. The vacuum nobody warns you about. (I know I sent you the link on Tuesday as well, but I also know......

I've been thinking about something I kept seeing on social media over Easter weekend. (Because what else would I be doing on a three day weekend when I'm off work with stress only stressing myself more...) Amongst all the religious photos and family tables, there were quieter posts too. Women who didn't quite know what to do with themselves. Who felt something off about the weekend without being able to name it. Who were, in some sense, watching a celebration they used to belong to from the...
