🎁✨Escape Holiday Stress, Treat Yourself!


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 short 2hrs (ish) retreat between now and the 6th January. You may already have seen this in the Facebook group, but here's the wording from there anyway: "Hi all, I've been debating holding a mini "escape from the chaos of life" type retreat over the next week or two. As in sometime before 6th January. My idea would be a 2-hr retreat, bit of meditation, bit of journaling, but of candle lighting, bit of time for just being, rather than doing. Maybe an offering or two. I've been debating it cos I need it and then I figured, if I need it, others will as well. So, 2 hrs, ~$25 cost level, recording available afterwards, limited spaces to maybe 20 people max. (Give the usual ratios of people who can turn up live, plus people willing to talk, that should give plenty of time for people who want to talk in the live session)What do ye think? Would this interest you?I may try and think of a catchier name though..."

o, if you're interested in the retreat, hit reply and let me know or else comment on the post here.

OK, I'm off to get the final bits of work finished off and snuggle around some Lemsip.

I hope you get some rest over the holiday season, for those who believe in Santaí, I hope he's generous and at the very least that you get what you need during this time when the light starts returning.

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 hope all are well here. I'm snowbound. For those who don't know - Ireland is going through a bit of a cold spell this week. We had enough snow to be extremely problematic on Sunday/ Monday. That has now frozen over and we're due temps of -8C tonight. (17F for those not used to Celsius!) So, I'm stuck in the house and working from home. This, after my keyboard stopped working over Christmas and I'm awaiting a new one to be delivered. And considering I'm at the top of a hill that is currently...

I've had a few questions & queries about the Imbolc retreat, so here we go! Why six hours? Well, because I think that's how lonlong a day long retreat can feasibly last. Any longer, and we'll all be wiped out. Any shorter? Well, we'd be rushing. Is a blankie truly necessary? No, not 100% necessary. But I believe comfort is massively important whether meditating. So, if you have a tendency to cool down when meditating, keep something handy! What will the movement be? Will it be on camera? The...

I have exciting news today. I'm holding a virtual retreat on 1st February 2025. All the details are here. Now a few things to think about: Spaces are strictly limited to 15 people I opened this retreat to those who were on my retreat at the weekend already and a few spots have already gone I'm only opening it to my email list for now, but will be opening to the general public on 6th January. There is an early bird price available until 5pm Irish time on 6th January. This is a virtual event,...
