Cycle to Brigit’s Well: A Cleansing Ceremony and Pilgrimage

This event has ended

Meeting Point: Gatekeeper's Hut, Phoenix Park South Entrance, Saturday 1st February

Join us for a unique cycle pilgrimage to the hidden Brigit's Well in Phoenix Park, led by Dr. Karen Ward, co-rediscoverer of Brigid's Way. Beginning at the Chesterfield Avenue entrance near a Dublin City bike station, we will set our intentions as a ‘mini tribe' and cycle together through the park, stopping along the way to hear the stories and legends of St. Brigit, a timeless inspiration to women throughout the ages.

As we journey to the well, Karen will reflect on Brigit’s enduring influence and how her legacy continues to empower modern women. Upon arrival, we will take part in a special Cleansing Ceremony, using the pure spring water of Brigit's Well to refresh and renew ourselves. The ceremony will be accompanied by song, and you are invited to bring your Brigit crosses to bless in the waters, connecting with her healing energy.

This event offers a peaceful and meaningful way to honour Brigit’s spirit while embracing the beauty of Phoenix Park.

Fabulous Brídeóg: A Funky Doll-Making Workshop

The Amulet Gallery

Doll-making has deep roots in the Brigit tradition, most famously through the Brídeóg—a straw doll created to honour St Brigid and paraded through communities on Brigit’s Day. Traditionally dressed in fabric scraps and decorated with flowers or shells, the Brídeóg symbolised Brigid as a bride, wearing her veil and cloak. In this joyful, hands-on workshop, we’ll reimagine the Brídeóg for today, creating bold, playful, modern dolls inspired by this beautiful custom. Guided by artist and maker Tamara Fiabane (@toofabulousartandcrafts), you’ll be supported every step of the way—
