🎴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'm getting a lot of questions around the time commitment for this program. And I get it, I really do. You have a life. A job. Kids maybe. Parents. Sick relatives. Caring responsibilities no one else is aware of. It's not the right time to devote six months to your spiritual growth. Can I let you into a secret? It's never the right time. Seriously. And if you leave it too long, Brigid has been known to take things into her own hands and create said time for you. Which is less than pleasant...

(Yes, my name is meant to be in the subject line, not yours!) I'm getting a lot of questions about if this program is for you if you are or used to be: ✝️Christian ☦️Orthodox ✡️Jewish ☪️Muslim ⚛️Science-oriented 🕉️Ayurvedic 🛕Hindu ⛩️Shinto ... or indeed any other religion, spirituality or creed. And ok, I'm going to be honest. I talk a lot about Brigid during the Brigid's Path Collective. So, at the very least, you need to be comfortable with that, before you join. But then, my whole thing is...

I'm so sorry. I knew today was Thursday. I knew today was 1st May. I knew today was Bealtaine. I completely forgot how irresponsible it is to recommend buying anything today!! According to Irish tradition, butter stealing has strong effect on May morning. So don't spend anything (i.e. give away your wealth and prosperity for the year) between sunset May eve and sunset May day. Which is a pain in the neck cos today is pay-day and I've had my eye on some workout gear for weeks!!! But I'm not...
