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

⏱️ Q&A - 3 days left for early bird!

Published over 1 year 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.

I've been thinking about something I kept seeing on social media over Easter weekend. (Because what else would I be doing on a three day weekend when I'm off work with stress only stressing myself more...) Amongst all the religious photos and family tables, there were quieter posts too. Women who didn't quite know what to do with themselves. Who felt something off about the weekend without being able to name it. Who were, in some sense, watching a celebration they used to belong to from the...

Before I dive into the meat of today's email, I'd like you to take a wander over to Instagram and check out my last few posts. I was experimenting with pin curls and had some fun. Hair will return to normal - thankfully - in a few hours! Onto the more serious topics then. I've been running the Brigid's Path Collective for a few years now. I opened it to the public in 2024, and the last two years in particular have been truly amazing. The results people experience during their time are...

Just a quick note to let you know that From Restriction to Freedom is tomorrow - Tuesday at 7pm Irish time (2pm EST / 11am PST). If you've been watching this week's posts and something in you keeps saying maybe, I'd gently suggest that maybe is worth listening to. Here's what people said after the first time I ran this: "Hugely helpful in finding my spiritual north." "A safe space to explore and find my own way to clarity. There was no dictating a certain right way to do it - there was...
