Women Walk the City: Brigit’s Imbolg Pilgrimage with Dr Karen Ward

This event has ended

Croppies Acre Memorial Park, Wednesday 1st February

On the day we traditionally celebrate Goddess and Matron Saint of Ireland, Dr Karen Ward of Moon Mná Celtic Women's Circles will lead a mini pilgrimage in Phoenix Park, Dublin. This 5km walk meanders from the Anna Livia water sculpture in the Croppies' Acre Memorial Park (beside the Ashling Hotel by the Liffey quays) through the picturesque Phoenix Park as we look for the signs of early Spring at the Celtic Festival of Imbolg (Imbolc).

During this sauntering perambulation you will hear Brigid’s myths and legends, understand how they relate to your life as a modern woman and learn how to gift yourself a Brigid’s Water and Fire Blessing ritual. The pilgrimage costs a nominal €5.00 which will be donated to The Sanctuary Holistic Centre, Stanhope Street, Dublin 7. We meet at 10.30am and finish at 12.00pm. Please dress appropriately for the weather.

Dr Karen Ward is a writer, lecturer, teacher and psychotherapist. Trained in the Celtic lineage and Druidic traditions, she co-founded and runs the Slí An Chroí School of Irish Celtic Shamanism with her husband John Cantwell. Karen is author of Change a Little to Change a Lot, co-editor of Soul Seers – an Irish Anthology of Celtic Shamanism, Goddesses of Ireland: ancient wisdom for modern women for adults and Glorious Goddesses of Ancient Ireland for children, her recent bestselling The Secrets of Ageless Ageing and the annual Moon Mná Diary-Journal.
