A Chairde, Friends,

Below you will find your final schedule for September-January 2025. This includes the new addition of the Full Moon Fairytale Céilí, which feels all things magic! 🪄

I’ve added your new bonus workshop for January 2025 on the Celtic Calendar and Creative Projects as that was the most voted for but I will schedule the Dreamwork retreat for sometime in 2025 as well.

Thank you so much to those who completed the poll, it’s such a gift to receive your feedback.

I have also curated a Celtic Creatives Library below to help you navigate this platform and access your resources with greater ease so it doesn’t feel burdensome on your time.

🎁 What you Receive

Each month you will receive:

1. The Imbas Dispatch is a bi-monthly feature offering a symbol from Irish or wider Celtic mythology e.g. the cauldron. Each dispatch explores the symbol’s significance from mythopoetic and cultural perspectives providing a rich, multi-layered understanding. To help you integrate this wisdom into your life, I include an accompanying journal prompt. ‘Imbas’, meaning ‘otherworldly wisdom’, reflects the insights these dispatches aim to provide.

2. Celtic Creatives Toolkit: A mythopoetic tool or ritual to unlock the magic of your creative soul.

3. Mythic Ancestor eBook: An ever-expanding compendium of Celtic deities and archetypes, exploring their stories, symbols, and creative inspiration.

4. Co-Working with the Creative Otherworld: A monthly virtual gathering where mythology meets productivity. We begin with a guided journey into the mystical Celtic Otherworld, then harness that energy for an hour of focused creation.

5. 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. We will trial three of these gatherings over the dark months as we enter Samhain.

PLUS:

Áes Dána Retreat: Space to immerse yourself in the creative wisdom of the Celtic seasons through four beautifully curated online retreats aligned with Samhain, Imbolc, Bealtaine, and Lughnasa. Rooted in Irish tradition, these gatherings honour the spirit of the Áes Dána—the ‘People of the Arts’ in Old Irish—who were the poet-seers, druids, and craftspeople that once led their tribes. By channelling their legacy, we envision and nurture a future where creatives once again guide society, rekindling the power of imagination and artistry in our modern world.

If you use the mobile app, it’s harder to navigate but you can save your favourite posts, or use your mobile browser to see the desktop view, and bookmark or add a shortcut to your mobile home screen.
