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.

This Saturday, I'm holding a clarity workshop. So often, women come to me and they know they're running away from something, but they're not 100% sure what they're headed towards. And this workshop aims to walk you through this. I'm looking to help you answer such questions as: ✔️What do I actually want from my spiritual life now? ✔️What did I value? What did I resent? ✔️And how do I create a meaningful spiritual path that nourishes—without recreating the rigidity I left behind? It's two...

I know, two emails in one day - a plethora of talk from me! But it's the time of year when my brain is kinda active in this area. Blame Brigid. Over the past few months, so many women in this community have shared a similar feeling with me: “I know what I’m leaving behind… but I’m not fully sure what I’m moving towards.” If you were shaped by rigid religion or restrictive spiritual rules, it makes complete sense. We were taught what to believe, how to behave, what counted as “holy,” "proper",...
