The Sacred Flowering

01/10/2026

Do you remember when you were a child and the cracks in the sidewalk were a portal to instant death? When a speckled rock was a treasure to be put in your pocket, and climbing the branches of a tree was like a stairway to the sky?

As you’ve grown older and the matrix grips you with its tentacles - your bedtime fairytales that once sparked your imagination may have become dulled by the lure of the T.V. screen. The freedom from climbing that old oak might have turned into climbing the oppressive corporate ladder. And the joy from finding that simple rock may have been replaced by dopamine doses from those endless notifications on your phone.

You may find yourself on a hamster wheel striving for more and more yet somehow feeling farther away from that innate sense of wonder, magic and joy that came to you so easily as a child. It’s as if a spell of forgetfulness has been casted, shrouding you from remembering the magic in the world.

What if all it takes to lift the spell is to create an intentional space to reconnect with your true Self and the natural world around you?

Imagine a full weekend designed to attune you with the rhythms of nature, where the silence of winter and the wisdom of the ancestors guide you into a deep state of presence. Where life’s magic comes alive and the Sacred is remembered. 🔥

Within the illusion of maya - the superficial dream of time, space, and materialism, there is a forgetfulness of our nature. Which creates a perpetual state of feeling that we need to be different than we are or have something else in order to be happy and complete. A hamster wheel of striving that gets us nowhere. It’s a deep sense of lack, as if we’re walking around with empty holes dug out of the soil of our being that we’re not able to fill, creating a feeling of dull disharmony. A life lacking in luster.

This weekend retreat is designed to bring that childlike magic back into Life. For us to remember that we are intrinsically complete, infinitely sacred, yet incredibly messy, Divine Beings. That separation is but an illusion, with our souls are intimately intertwined with each other, nature and all of Life.

Allow the silence of winter, and the wisdom of our ancestors to guide us into deep presence, immersing us into the wonders and mysteries of that which births creation into form.

This has been a Retreat gestating in the ethers for a long time waiting for the perfect moment to come alive. And I’m so excited for you to be apart of it.

Our early bird discount will be ending soon and space is limited! Join us and weave your sacred presence to the magic that is already beginning to unfold. Can you feel it?

I was completely moved by this statue of Brigid when I came across it in Ireland last spring. It felt like it was calling me to remember something deeply ancient and sacred within my bones.

Brigid is the goddess-saint of thresholds. She builds bridges that unify the Old Ways with the new. Her presence has lasted millennia, first as a goddess and later preserved herself as a saint. She may be one of the oldest inflections of the Goddess who’s active worship is still very alive today in communities and individuals all around the world. Being as an indigenous goddess of the landscape of the British-Isles, she even pre-dates the Celts - revealing her presence as timeless and so powerful that it forever weaves within the collective consciousness of humanity where her memory as the Goddess lives within our DNA. Can you feel her? What light codes does she carry that are waiting to become activated within you? She’s waiting for you to remember…

Awaken this remembrance within yourself during our Celtic winter retreat, a weekend of transformation, connecting with the wisdom of our ancestors and rebirthing the sacred flame within. 🔥

*Located in the woodland forest of Holly, MI.

Imbolc is the Celtic holy day honoring the first day of spring. Though the earth may still be frozen, the growing days of light become noticeable, affirming that life is awakening. The name Imbolc means “in the belly” or rather “in the womb”. This is a tender time when the womb of the earth is preparing for the promise of life. Our ancestors inner-stood that we don’t just live in nature, but ARE nature and what transpires without transpires within.

Join us as we gather together for a weekend in celebration, and deep reverence for our ancestors, our beloved goddess-saint Brigid and the rebirthing of our eternal light - the sacred flame that lives within each one of us, uniting in wholeness, sovereignty and love. 🔥

In the liminal spaces where Irish myth, ancestral memory, and the subconscious converge, lies a time when the Celtic goddess-saint Brigid, was summoned for her skills in midwifery. She was carried in the arms of angels beyond the illusion of time and space to the manger in Bethlehem. Here, she aided Mary and Joseph in delivering the infant Yeshua into the world. 👼🏾

And when King Herod sought to extinguish this prophetic newborn threat, Brigid is said to have ran wildly through the streets, distracting the soldiers, and helping the Holy Family escape to Egypt. 💃🏻

She is also responsible for coaxing the sun into the light half of the year beginning on the first day of Celtic spring - Imbolc.

Through the mystic’s lens, this folklore reveals Brigid and Mother Mary as soul sisters, embodiments of the Divine Mother who births the Light of Consciousness into form (aka you). She is the creator, the creating and the created.

When the Gaelic Celts wove the buddings of Christianity into their tapestry of paganism, they saw how Mother Mary (Mother of God) was but a reflection of their own beloved eternal goddess - the Midwife of Light. Hence, they called her - “Mary of the Gael”. 🌟

Do you feel a stirring of curiosity that is luring you to explore the transformative wisdom of our ancestors and to activate a remembrance of that which is already authentically whole, sovereign and sacred within you? And that the only difference between you, Brigid, Mary and the Christ that was birthed in Bethlehem is that they remembered? 🌀

Then visit the link in my bio to join us for a weekend winter retreat held in the nourishing presence of Brigid and the warmth of kindred spirits to help activate this remembrance within.🔥

May Brigid midwife the realization of the Light within your own heart this Christmas day and all days. Blessed be. 🌅

Do you ever notice how your body shifts with the seasons?

The ancient Celts new this well. They were attuned to the earth, the elements, and the Divine Feminine, seeing the land as the Goddess herself.🌍

Imbolc, their first day of spring on February 1st, marks the noticeable return of light, the ewes’ first milk, and life stirring beneath their feet.🌱
It coincides with the birth of the Celtic fire goddess Brigid. Her iconic cross (a pre-Christian symbol), symbolizes the sun and its cyclical pattern of the four seasons.

I’m so looking forward to showing others how to craft and bless these solar crosses during our Imbolc retreat, using water I gathered directly from Brigid’s healing well in Kildare, Ireland!💧Among other activities to tend to that which is eternal.

If you feel the subtle call luring you to unveil ancestral wisdom, and the sacred flame within yourself and the land, join me for a weekend of spiritual nourishment, transformation and renewal. This is more than a retreat, it’s an activation of remembrance.🔥

Almost 20 years ago, I discovered the ancient Celtic traditions and holy days that honored the earth, the changes of the seasons and the Holy Mother. I deeply resonated with Brigid (the saint & the goddess) although I didn’t know much about her at the time.

Around 2019 is when I did a deep Brigid dive and became enchanted by her myth, story, mystery, symbology and the beautiful bridge she built uniting paganism, mysticism and Christianity.

When I got the opportunity to explore her sacred sites, holy wells and relics in Ireland this past spring (visiting her well on my birthday), I felt a remembrance of something ancient, mystical and deeply sacred.

Just a few days ago I woke up with a strong sense that it is time to bring this retreat into fruition, where it would land perfectly on the weekend of Saint Brigid’s Day and the Celtic holy day of Imbolc - February 1st.

And when I walked into the retreat venue in Holly for a scheduled tour (Maryville Retreat Center), I knew it was the one. The lovely Felician Sisters radiated so much joy and love, and immediately greeting me with warm hugs. They told me that they loved Saint Brigid and were excited that I wanted to do a retreat with her. Even though they knew I was bringing in pre-Christian elements. Part of their mission is to open their center to all faiths and traditions. They said they were impressed with my website bio - exposing their true Christian way of being - full of non-judgement and acceptance of all.

The retreat center was beautiful and to top it off, in the center of their chapel, painted on their altar was the Sacred Flame - the focal point of my retreat. An obvious sign.

Offering this retreat at a Christian center is aligned with Brigid’s way of bridging Celtic paganism with Christianity, shining her light on the similarities in both traditions and allowing them to co-exist from a place of non-judgement, & peace and love.

If you feel the call, you can read more in the link in my bio. I’m offering a Christmas discount of $50 off for those who register before the 25th. 🔔

I’m nearly bursting with excitement!

May Brigid’s sacred flame warm heart this winter season. Blessings. 🔥🙏🏻🔥
