🎴Playing with ideas - reply now to input


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 for the next four years. So I have two ideas:

1) Host a retreat in Ireland for those willing and able to travel

2) Host an online retreat

Now, I have a very tentative third idea about hosting a retreat in Canada, but not sure if people would be interested at all.

So, here's my question. Since it's coming to the time of year where I will have some quiet time to research and plan in work, I've put together a very short form for you to give me feedback on this: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSevDQnWfY2JMAvDUwsBjXI4u6OpiO2zTxsnNLDWjl5Jhvo8Vg/viewform?usp=sharing​

There is an area to put in your email address, but it's not a requirement, only if you want to hear more about it.

Now, a retreat in Canada is unlikely to happen in February, it may happen later in the year, but the Ireland or virtual options could happen in February, so let me know and I'll see what I can arrange.

In the mean time, there's still time to start the Building a Daily Practice with Brigid course and finish before Imbolc!!

OK, I'm off to get more meds into me....

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 wanted to drop into your inbox with a gentle reminder — enrollment for Brigid’s Forge Collective is closing soon, and I’d love for you to be part of it. This is a six-month group coaching journey rooted in Brigid’s Path — the framework I’ve developed to help you build a spiritual practice that’s grounded, personal, and deeply aligned with your own values and needs. In a world that feels increasingly chaotic, it might seem like now isn’t the time to focus on spirituality. But I believe the...

I got out of the practice of writing last week. A week off work, followed by some major issues to deal with meant various things got dropped by the wayside. And a blog post and the emails were some of them. Fierce sorry about that, but it really was a case of prioritisation... I had a lovely weekend though. I sat on the couch on Saturday and didn't move. I think I did fewer than 700 steps all day. I needed it though. I came home on Friday night and I was tired. Like tired. Didn't make it to...

A lot of you seem to enjoy last week's "life" update, so I thought I'd give it a go again this week. It's my birthday weekend! I'm 45 on Sunday, which also happens to be Father's Day here in the Emerald Isle. I was also born on Father's Day, so I keep saying I was obviously the best present Dad ever got for the occasion. He occasionally agrees with me... Am I celebrating? Hell yeah! I didn't get to celebrate my 40th as I wished because of bloody Covid, so I'm celebrating this year. the family...
