A Chairde, Friends,
Wishing you every blessing as we unfold into a new week. A gentle reminder that we have our Co-Working with the Creative Otherworld session tomorrow, 21st January at 16:00-17:00 Irish Time, you can register here.
Survey Responses
Thanks a million for your feedback on the Full Moon Fairytale Céilí. This was a unanimous yes in the survey. I plan to host these in cycles of three. We’ll do three céilí’s over three months, take a month to integrate and revisit previous sessions, and then continue on. How does this sound? I’ve included the links below but for the season of Imbolc, we will have three themes:
Finding Your Place of Resurrection with Gobnait - February
Wisdom of the Inner Grail - March
The Body as a Seer - April
Each month now, instead of the Co-Working with the Creative Otherworld, we will come together for The Selkie Studio, which 90% of you voted for. This will be a space to gather together, share what’s coming up in response to the membership content—like reflections, insights, synchronicities, and questions—and also for you to share any creations you are working on related to Celtic mysticism, such as story, poetry, art, dance or whatever wonder it might be. I’ll send more guidance in advance of our first gathering.
Your updated schedule for Imbolc 2025, February-April is outlined below. Please save or bookmark this post.
🎁 What you Receive
Each month you will receive:
Imbas Dispatch: A bi-monthly feature offering a symbol from Irish or wider Celtic mythology and exploring its significance for our times. I include an accompanying journal prompt to help you integrate this wisdom into your life. ‘Imbas’, meaning ‘otherworldly wisdom’, reflects the insights these dispatches aim to provide.
Celtic Creatives Toolkit: A creative tool or ritual to unlock the magic of your Celtic soul.
Full Moon Fairytale Céilí: A storytelling circle where you’ll experience an Irish myth, folk or fairytale, followed by a guided movement practice to unveil the story’s deeper, personal meaning for your life.
The Selkie Studio: The selkie is symbolic of reclaiming lost parts of ourselves. This circle is a space to share what’s alive for you in response to the membership content, and also anything (art, poetry, writing etc.) you are creating in response.
Mythic Ancestor eBook: An ever-expanding compendium of Celtic goddesses, gods, and archetypes, exploring their stories, symbols, and how they can inspire you creatively.
