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

⏱️ Q&A - 3 days left for early bird!

Published about 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 more about rest this week. Not collapse.Not giving up.But the kind of rest that comes before we step back in. The pause where things are still forming beneath the surface. I know, deeply, that rest is not available to everyone right now. There are places in the world where survival takes all the space there is. I hold that reality alongside my own. And still, for those of us who do have the choice, I’m wondering what happens when we stop forcing clarity, momentum, or...

I had a rough weekend. Check out this week's blog post for the physical and spiritual aspects of it! But since you signed up to hear from me every week, I want to go into a bit more detail of my thoughts here. I see people taking action all over the world. I see it in Palestine, Congo, Iran... I see the resistance - because people feel they have no choice. And I see it in the US as well. But there's an undercurrent, in certain populations, in the US. It's one of expecting someone to save...

Yes, I'm still on about energy and things starting to grow today! I can't help it, I can feel the energy moving and shifting and it's fun! Plus, you know, it's that time of year when I get geared up for talking about Brigid non-stop, for 2 full months. (I know, you lot are used to listening to me all the time, but other people aren't!) Anyway, it's a quick email today, because I'm working on something very exciting. I'm putting together an Imbolc retreat. I did this last year, it was 6 hours,...
