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

⏱️ Q&A - 3 days left for early bird!

Published 10 months ago • 1 min read

I've had a few questions & queries about the Imbolc retreat, so here we go!

  1. 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.
  2. 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!
  3. What will the movement be? Will it be on camera? The movement will be your choice. I might suggest stretching, or dancing, or a good shake, but it's all up to you. The point of the movement is to make sure you're fully back in your body in between meditations. And no. While it would be nice to see faces on screen, there is no requirement at any stage to be on camera.
  4. When does the early bird price run out? 5pm Irish time, 6th January 2025
  5. Where can I sign up? Here.
  6. What's the final date for signing up? You can sign up right up til 5pm on 1st February. But the early bird price goes up on 6th January.
  7. Is there a payment plan? Yes, you can split payments in 2.

That covers most of the questions I've hhad so far, but reach out if you have any more.

And I'm slowly pulling out of this flu. I even washed my hair last night!! (I know, the excitement in my life is ripping!)

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

I help people from strict, rigid religious backgrounds find joy in their spirituality again!

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.

For those of you who link to Instagram or the blog before checking email, you'll already know I'm wearing one of my new favourite t-shirts today. If you don't do that however, here's you're warning that my annual mission to bring joy and happiness to my colleagues through passive-aggressive t-shirts and outfits befitting the season has begun. Yes, this is the t-shirt. I keep telling my senior management it's to help with morale. Mainly mine, but really, if I'm happy, it means fewer people are...

I know, another extra email. But many of you were interested in my menopause journey last time, so I thought ye might have an interested in yesterday's nurse visit. Yesterday was my second visit to the nurse at the menopause clinic in my gp's practice. This was with a nurse practitioner - for those who don't know this is a nurse who has undergone extra training and qualifications to be allowed to prescribe some medicines. Again a thoroughly positive experience. Some key highlights: Everything...

Yes I know how ridiculous that sounds! But if you read today's blog post you'll know why I put it that way. I'm gonna be honest - I'm struggling today. Work is hassly. Nothing serious, but you know when you get to the end of the day and there's just nothing you can put your finger on that's done? Yeah. One of those. Plus I cam in early purely to get two specific tasks done and because of some other stuff, it didn't get done. Neither task. So, it's at times like this I turn to Brigid asking...
