🕯️Time To Prep For Imbolc - Is Your Candle Set?
|
Ok, so I'm bit a tad facetious with that email header! If you've been on this list for any length of time, you'll know there's more to Imbolc to candles and honestly, it's perfectly possible to celebrate Imbolc with no candles at all! (I know, it's shocking, right?) But I also know this is the time of year when people like to connect with Brigid. So here's a few options for you: 🕯️If you're interested in a day of serious rest, you can check out the Inner Flame, an exclusive, intimate retreat I'm running on Sunday, 1st February, for 5 hours. All the details here, but please note, this is limited to 10women to ensure everyone gets what they need from the day 🕯️If you're looking for my blog writings on Imbolc, you can check those out here 🕯️There is a bundle of classes on the website, you can check those out here, or of course, any class you want!! 🕯️For those looking for something shorter, the Irish Pagan School has all of their resources listed here, including a few classes from myself and free resources as well Most importantly, however you're marking the occasion, remember your spirituality is meant to fit your life. If that means that this year, with all that's going on, you say a prayer and hope for the best, that's fine. If it means a full five hour retreat, also fine. Something in between? Something completely different? No one can tell you how to practice your spirituality. (They can say it's not traditional, but as long as you're not saying it is, I don't see that as an issue!) Bríd libh Órlagh P. S. Spaces are purposefully limited on the retreat, so if you're interested, sign up now. There is a payment plan option, as well as the pay in full option...

I’m ready to share a little more. The Inner Flame is a private, one-day online Imbolc retreat — five spacious hours devoted to rest, presence, and reconnection. It’s not coaching or personal development.There’s nothing to learn, achieve, or figure out. It’s a pause.A space to soften.A chance to tend what’s quietly alive within you. I’m holding it for a small group, just 10 women, so the space can remain intimate and well-contained. If the idea of stepping out of effort for a day feels...
I want to share something gently. As I’ve been sitting with this season - with rest, timing, and the space before action - I’ve felt called to hold a day devoted entirely to that pause. Not a workshop.Not teaching.Not fixing or improving anything. Just a carefully held space to rest, listen, and reconnect with what’s steady beneath the noise. It’s a one-day online gathering aligned with Imbolc - the return of the light, not as a dramatic awakening, but as something small and protected. I’m...
There’s a story we’ve been told: that rest is something you earn. After the work is done.After the answers are clear.After you’ve proven yourself useful enough. But I don’t believe that’s true. Rest, especially for women, is often the thing that makes clarity possible. It’s where assimilation happens. Where the nervous system settles enough to hear what’s actually true. In a world that demands productivity at all times, choosing not to push can feel quietly radical. Even one deep breath.Even...
