RESTORING THE HEART OF BRIGID:
tending our inner sacred flame
3 Night Package and Day Passes
We are excited to open 4 spaces specifically for anyone living in Ireland, to join us for the first 3 nights (May 31st to June 3rd) of the magical and mystical pilgrimage retreat, tending our inner heart flame with the powerful energies of Brigid.
We will weave and walk through 5 of Ireland’s most sacred sites, guided by the ancient and sacred beings of the land through Treacy O’Connor in collaboration with the beautiful gifts embodied by Carmela Fleury and LeeYen Anderson.
Brigid’s triple Goddess nature, invites you to journey deep within to restore the heart of Brigid, in the land and in ourselves via walking pilgrimage, ceremony, meditation, storytelling, deep rest, yoga, qi gong, song and imaginal journeys.
Brigid, known as “Muire na Gael” in her Divine Feminine nature has re-emerged and wants to deeply connect with you through the land that embodies the Thymus or High Heart of the Earth.
