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.

As is becoming a distressing habit of mine, I was awake for half the night last night. And now, I'm not operating the best in work. But I'm here and keeping things on a (mostly) even keel. Some of the things that are worrying me?
Yes, these are the things that keep me awake at 2am. And I can't really guarantee calm awaits. But I can offer some things that help:
So, look, I know I'm basing my email on the things that are bothering me this week. But I hope some of the options listed above might help people. And y'know - remember to breathe and no one ever said on their deathbed "I wish I'd spent more time at the office". (and yes, reminding myself as well!) Bríd libh Órlagh P. S.

Yes, I am aware there is some controversy about the exact date of Imbolc. You can go astrologically (Tuesday 3rd February, apparently), the calendar date (31st hanuary, based of St. Brigid's Day being 1st February) or some other weird and wonderful method. 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....
Ok, so I'm bit a tad facetious with that email header! If you've been on this list for any length of time, you'll know there's more to Imbolc to candles and honestly, it's perfectly possible to celebrate Imbolc with no candles at all! (I know, it's shocking, right?) But I also know this is the time of year when people like to connect with Brigid. So here's a few options for you: 🕯️If you're interested in a day of serious rest, you can check out the Inner Flame, an exclusive, intimate retreat...
