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: âI know what Iâm leaving behind⌠but Iâm not fully sure what Iâm moving towards.â 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 âholy,â "proper", " true religion" and what didnât. But we were rarely taught to ask: âWhat do I want from my spiritual life? âWhat does my soul actually need? âWhat feels nourishing instead of constricting? And those questions matter, especially as we step into a new year. So Iâm creating a twoâhour workshop designed to help you gently explore those answers. If youâre craving direction, or simply want to reconnect with your own inner wisdom without the pressure of rules, this might be exactly what you need right now. You can read the full details here: Iâd love for you to join me, especially if this is something you have been called towards. BrĂd libh Ărlagh P. S. We're holding this on the 14th February, so don't forget to sign up! Check out the links below: âBrigid's Forge Schoolâ âWebsiteâ |
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.
Folks, I'm fierce excited to announce that registration has opened for this year's Brigid for Writers course with myself and Courtney Weber. Last year we had a ball and people really enjoyed it!

Yes, I am aware there is some controversy about the exact date of Imbolc. You can go astrologically (Tuesday 3rd February, apparently), the calendar date (31st hanuary, based of St. Brigid's Day being 1st February) or some other weird and wonderful method. My particular weird and wonderful method is using the bank holiday weekend we now get in Ireland. So, my celebration starts today. I'll leave out my brat BhrĂde tomorrow night. I'll be lighting candles, holding rituals and running retreats...
Hi folks, I've been getting a lot of questions about the Inner Flame retreat, happening on Sunday! So based on the premise that if one person is asking, 10 more are thinking the question, here we go! What actually happens during the day? The Inner Flame is a live, oneâday online retreat held over five spacious hours. The day is gently structured, with periods of guided ritual, meditation, quiet reflection, and rest, as well as intentional pauses away from the screen. Nothing moves quickly....
