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.
🧘The kind of rest that comes before action
|
I’ve been thinking more about rest this week. Not collapse. 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 answers. And allow ourselves a little time to regroup. The earth hasn’t fully woken yet. Some things are still preparing underground. Maybe rest right now isn’t about stopping everything - but about noticing where pushing no longer serves. About letting certain questions remain unanswered. About trusting timing a little more than urgency. I’m sitting with that. Bríd libh Órlagh Check out the links below: Website |

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,...
Today's blog post is about ascending into Imbolc. Now, I know - we don't usually think about ascending to Imbolc. We might consider descending around Samhain, but if there's a sense of descent into the earth for the winter, we really should counteract that with a period of ascent as well. And given Imbolc is about that period where we're looking at nature, new growth, rising energy in the world in general... it makes sense to me to link it to ascent. (It's also a great time to check out your...
