An Cailleach brings you to the threshold of Imbolc, you reach across your hands to be greeted by Goddess Brigid.

It’s time to move from your inner cave and gently emerge into the world. You carry with you the wisdom, dreaming and visioning gifted and earned through winter. You allow these tender seedlings to enter your creative heart.

Do not rush this process of emerging. Let yourself taste it fully.

Winter has ‘worked’ on you, mourn what is lost and can’t come forward. Then let the fresh breeze of Imbolc bring life back into the parts of you that are needed in this coming cycle.

Now is the time to remember the roots you’ve fortified and allow small movements outward to new life.

What gifts of wisdom does Brigid, the Soulsmith, healer and poet, wish to share with you at this turning point of the Celtic Wheel, Imbolc?

This is your invitation to join my upcoming events to receive guidance from Goddess Brigid, snowdrops and Imbolc... Find out they can support you on your path.

Choose from:

Walk the Celtic Wheel: Imbolc Online Circle 29th January 7pm - 9pm Irish times

Imbolc Shamanic Ceremony Saturday 7th February 10am -1pm in Foxrock, Co. Dublin.

Imbolc the place of beginnings...

It's the gentle call to move from the deep holding of the element of earth to allow the whisps of the element of air to feed inspiration and the breathing in of life... Inviting you, like the gentle snowdrops, to begin to slowly emerge from your deep rest.

What have you received from your wintering?

It's the place of Goddess Brigid who teaches us how to tend the perpetual flame of our soul. The waters of her wells shows is how to nourish our bodies. She who protects is with her mantle as she encourage us to forge our own path forward.

Where are you being called to direct your precious energy?

Imbolc, a time of hope and hidden potential... Can you let your winter dreams take root... Will you protect them, incubate them, tend them and allow them to unfold in their divine timing?

I've been walking the Celtic Wheel for over 12 years and with each spiral I learn more about myself, my relationship with the life-death-rebirth cycle and how to move through life... How to meet life.

There is always space to go deeper into the medicine of Imbolc.

You're invited to Walk the Celtic Wheel, an online circle on Thurs 29th Jan ar 7pm (Irish time). An evening of guided meditation, reiki healing, ritual and integration designed to support you where you are in your life... let's bring forth the medicine of Imbolc into your daily life.

This is about embodiment, direct experience and not just information.

You'll also receive additional resources in the course platform to guide you from Imbolc to Spring Equinox.

The Celtic Wheel helps you to identify where you are currently in life... It's map that teaches you how to move with the cycles of life... To respond rather than react unconsciously.... To enter into relationship with the land around you.

And Imbolc is inviting you into relationship with tender beginnings... To discern which dream seeds emerging from your wintering are ready to be carried forward... To be incubated in the creative fire of your inner cauldrons... But also to be nourished by Brigid's well waters.

It's easy to rush ahead into new beginnings and scatter your energy... This shamanic ceremony is an invitation to slow down and listen to what dreama and desires are emerging... To tend your inner fire of inspiration, courage and slow intentional action.

We will gather in ceremony at Brigid's hearth, with a warm cup of Snowdrop and Blue Lotus tea to support you release the winter cloak, opening you to the joyful potential and hope within...

Sit with Goddess Brigid who will share her fire blessing and wisdom to ignite the fire in your belly, the passion in your heart and the inspiration in your head.

Emerge from our ceremony with a spring in your step, lighter in heart and bring and with clarity for the path forward.

We'll gather in the magical grounds of - a place that renews your spirit as you walk to our venue.

This ceremony is crafted from my 12 years training with

In the darkness, we rest and trust that in the emptiness something will emerge....

But we need to take space to let ourselves truly hear what Spirit and our Soul is asking of us... What the great web of life is asking from us.

To listen and feel the difference between what the heart and the mind desires.

We take space to make room for clarity to take root.

On Tuesday 6th Jan, we gather in sacred ceremony with our plant ally Rose, to sit in the emptiness and listen for what is looking to emerge from within.

We won't create a list of goals to add to that never ending to-do list... We'll be exploring what a meaningful life means to you.

We'll sit at our inner fire with the question of 'what are you being called to create, contribute or experience in this season of your life.'

As different Seasons, ask different things from us.

It's time to lay down the over-thinking, perfectionism and waiting for the 'right' moment to take action...

Instead, let curiosity, progress, experimentation and your heart lead the way... Trust yourself to begin and know that you can readjust and course correct at any stage.

You're invited to the Crossing the Threshold opening ceremony on 6th Jan 7-9pm (Irish time).. an evening of ceremony, ritual and meditation.

You'll also have access, in the course material, to our closing ceremony, earth based rituals, meditations and workbooks to do in the comfort of your home - all designed to help you reflect and get clear in where you've come from and you are going.

As the year draws to a close, I'm not going to list achievements or business wins as this year has gifted me something else - deep gratitude for the people in my life... the support from the human and non-human has touched my heart this year. 

2025 continues to shape me and the foundations of my life... laying at my feet the gifts of learning patience, resilience and the art of receiving... and the part that we often forget - how to be with the great mystery of life. To let the uncertainty and unknown sit at the table without reaching for answers. To let hope and possibilty rest in our heart.

It was a year the contained a multitude of experiences. Many of the threads of 2025 will continue to weave into the coming year, a continuation and other threads will not be coming forward... and I trust my hands will find the threads and colors that need to be woven into the tapestry of my soul.

That is what I wish for you - to stand back and look at the taspestry of your life and soul and no matter how beautiful or heart breaking it is, that you do your best to bless it... and as you cross this threshold may you leave space for the mystery of life to suprise you. 

I want to thank each and everyone one of you who have contributed to my life this year.  Those that have offered support, wisdom, kindness, humour, honesty, kindness and your presence. I am deeply grateful.

I want to thank those who have given me the gift to walk alongside them and support them on their healing path whether through sessions, mentoring or ceremony. I admire you all for having the courage to open your heart to healing.

A special thanks to the plant, tree, animal and spirit allies who supported us and my ceremonies throughout the year. They are my best teachers.

And of course a special mention to my teachers who show my how to walk honestly, authentically and deeply the path of the heart 



To for bring able to hold ceremony in their magical space.

Thank you all. Many blessings as you cross into 2026.

I’ve been walking the Celtic Wheel for 14 years… and the medicine of Winter Solstice shows up differently each time.

It has appeared as:
- the push-pull of the deep call to rest versus the learned 'need' to keep busy
- tending beautiful dream seeds that emerged slowly
- being stripped back to the bare bones so I could see clearly what matters
-getting lost in the darkness and learning to wait patiently for the light
-the sharp, loving whisper of An Cailleach asking me to turn towards what I'd kept hidden within.

In this episode, I share how to walk with the energy of Winter Solstice and not ignore it's wisdom.

Winter Solstice is the turning point of the Celtic Wheel that invites us to sit in the darkness where we befriend stillness, quietness and our shadow.

Where we learn to trust in the cycles of life... that the light will return and not to lose hope in the dark days of life.

Can we let darkness be a teacher that shows us how to live more fully.. to show up more fully for life?

From Winter Solstice until Imbolc, we are called to rest in the fertile void, to dream ourselves into being, to listen to what is emerging from our soul and to receive from the darkness as much as the returning light.

And what happens if we try to side step the medicine held within Winter Solstice?…

The phase of life that asks us to sit in the dark, to let things ends and to focus on our inner world rather than outer creation… that’s what you’ll discover when you listen to this weeks episode.

When you reach the end of year, it's easy to focus only on what hasn't changed... To think that you haven't done or achieved enough.. to look at yourself and life with a hard lens.

Yet, when you take the eagles view and scan over the full year you may be surprised by what you've forgotten... The beautiful places you've seen, the laughter with friends, the strength and courage you found within, the ability to stay with yourself, the hobby you picked up, the clear choices you made...

And yes there will be things you wished you did differently or even tried... You may have left fear and comfort steer you... You may have turned away from what was actually calling your attention.

Yet this is not the end of your story.. this is a completion of one chapter... And now you get to pause and reflect before taking action.. you get to end before jumping into a beginning.

In our ceremony tomorrow, Rose our plant ally will hold you with compassion as you bring reconciliation to 2025...

Here we'll prepare our inner soil... What you bless and release can become the foundation for what you are able to create in the next cycle. It can become the wisdom you integrate and bring forward into 2026.

Join us online for our Crossing the Threshold closing ceremony, 16th Dec at 7pm (Irish times) to end the year with grace, honesty and ease.

You don’t need to finish the year soft or strong… you get to choose how you meet this threshold.

When you know what season of life you're navigating, it becomes easier to meet the end of the year with compassion instead of comparison.

Some years shape you, stripe you bare so you can rebuild….others help you grow and take up space… some shake everything you thought was steady… some are delicously full of adventure… some throw unexpected curveballs and others flow like a steady stream.

Not every season asks you to be strong or soft… some ask you to reset, recharge, and rebuild behind the scenes. Some invite you to slow down and remember that stillness is still progress. Some require you to just keep putting one foot in front of the other.

So how do you want to complete this year in a way that honors the season of life you are in and what you actually need?

Is it …. Gently, nourished, restful, peaceful, healthy, quietly, compassionately, intentionally, supported, centred, replenished…. or something else?

If you’d like to close the year in a way that honours your season, you’re invited to Crossing the Threshold into 2026

From 16th Dec to 6th Jan you’ll receive:

~ A 2 hour shamanic closing ceremony to complete 2025 with grace

~ A 2 hour shamanic opening ceremony to open your heart to 2026

~ Journey with Rose as our plant medicine ally

~ Rituals to honor what’s completing and also prepare for what you’re calling in

~ Reiki healing to soothe your nervous system and clear stagnant energy

~ Soul prompts to access your inner clarity and deeper knowing

~ Gentle meditations & simple practices to keep you anchored, held and nourished between ceremonies

All of this is designed to nourish you and not overwhelm you.

You also get access to the course for one year so you can revisit the ceremonie and content whenever you need support and move through it at your own pace.

People have shared that they feel 'held, safe and loved' in my Walk the Celtic Wheel circles.

It's a place where they connect to their inner wisdom and receive powerful guidance for their lives.

They often say 'it was exactly what I needed'.

These individuals often have a desire to honour the season of life they are in without rushing through it.

They want to explore their connection to nature and the wisdom it carries

They crave a deepening of ancestral knowledge... To remember the spiral path.

They want to live life in a different rhythm.

They want to connect with their soul and deeply listen to it rather than outsource their power

It's a beautiful thing to witness, the softening and growth that occurs when we come together in circle held by the wisdom of the Celtic Wheel.

Join me online for an honoring of Winter Solstice through reiki, ritual and meditation and soul inquiry.

It's time to trust in the unfolding of life even when nothing seems to be happening. To take the time to incubate the seeds of potential that are being lovingly held in the rich darkness. And to celebrate the return of the light.

I’ve been walking the Celtic Wheel for 14 years… and the medicine of Samhain shows up differently each time.

It has appeared as:
🔥 the soft balm of rest calling me into my inner cave.
🔥 a morning alarm shaking me awake from living on autopilot.
🔥 the feeling of my ancestors encircling me with love and support.
🔥 the sharp, loving whisper of An Cailleach asking me to focus on what truly matters.

In this episode, I share how to walk with the energy of Samhain and not ignore it's wisdom. Samhan is the turning point of the Celtic Wheel that invites us to sit closer to the descent, death, and regeneration.

How can we honor what’s changing or dying and not rush through it or turn away from it? Can we let death be a teacher that shows us how to live more fully.. to show up more fully for life?

As the veils are thin, we have the opportunity to connect with our benevolent Ancestors... to remember who we are, where we come from and why we are here.

From Samhain until Imbolc, An Cailleach calls us further down and further in.. asking us to come into our centre… into the fertile void.

She reminds us that their is deep medicine held in this space.. a place where all that is hidden begins to be unveiled. 

And what happens if we try to side step the medicine held within Samhain?…The phase of life that asks us to make sacrifices, to surrender to what needs to be gifted to the earth so regeneration can happen… that’s what you’ll discover when you listen to this weeks episode.
