The Retreat
There's a grand stretch in the evenings alright, but it's not really feeling like spring yet!
This is the time of year to consider what we need to plant, what we need to nurture, what we need to focus on to made the rest of the year better.
Here's the thing though... It can be so hard to take the time and consider a holistic, spiritual nourishment.
It can be so hard to just take the time for ourselves!
With all the demands of modern life, whether you have a demanding job, lively children, caring responsibilities, or indeed all of the above, it's really difficult to carve out time for you.
Well here's your chance.
During this 6 hour retreat, we will spend time communing with Brigid in meditation. We will practice our story telling skills and use our voices. We will journal, craft, sip the hot beverage of your choice...
Essential components for this experience will be :
A comfy blanket
A favourite mug
A journal you're willing to write in
A closed door
Heat, warmth, comfort
Layers of clothing
Are you noticing a theme yet?
What will you gain from this?
You will gain a deep connection with Brigid. Using my meditation method, which many of you will have experienced before, we will enter into the core of you, And we will do this three times throughout the day, going slightly deeper every time.
You will experience Brigid's pragmatic approach to life and probably get some work to do, to be honest!
You will spend time sorting out your feelings about this connection, Because sometimes it can be overwhelming, or extremely powerful! And you need time to process. But you will have support and help on the day.
And you will receive recordings of the meditations and exercises after the retreat, so you can revisit as you wish.
Curriculum
Who am I?
Hi, my name is Órlagh and I've been working with/for Brigid for most of my life. I only realised what I was doing about 10 years ago, though. I'm quick on the update, me!
I'm Irish born and bred, which means as I speak, you may need to ask me to slow down, repeat myself, that sort of thing. Honestly, it's fine - sometimes I get caught up in talking about Brigid and lose the run of myself.
I'm an engineer by day, and a reiki practitioner, Moon Mother and reflexologist. So I do a fair bit with energy in its various forms. (And yes, I've learned as much from my engineering as from my esoteric studies!)
I teach people about the authentic Brigid of Ireland, deity and saint. Her traditional practices and some of the ways I modernise the ones that don't really work for the modern world.
I also coach people who are interested in developing a deeper relationship with Brigid, or who are looking for an authentic supportive spiritual path from themselves.
I have a fair bit of experience in both areas, and we don't be doing anything that isn't safe or comforting here in this retreat!
