We are a people so deeply connected with the land, with an ancient tradition interwoven with the divine feminine, the divine mother that creates and sustains life. 

In every field, hill and valley, there are stories of the Cailleach, sacred wells in honour of Brigid. Stories and folk traditions that for generations were handed down, spoke of sacred healing plants, the good people, the elemental spirits, the thin veil that hangs lightly between the realms. 

The lakes and sea held passageways to the otherworld, the depths of cave prepared the clans best champions for battle. The trees are ancient wisdom keepers, the wells cleanse, heal and bless, the rivers carry prophetic messages between the worlds.

Time creates distance, and has created a disconnect for many of us. Not just from the stories and the land, but from the essence of what it is to be human here. 

Because the stories were not just stories. The folk traditions were not just superstitions. They are ways to explain the many events and experiences we can have as we walk this land as human beings. 

The land speaks to us, the trees teach us, the fields, hills and valleys tell stories of mythological creatures that stimulate our imagination and train us to look for possibilities, be creative and draw experience and learning from otherwise mundane moments in time. 

This is a journey to gently heal the disconnect. From the land, from the stories, from ourselves. i mBroinn an Mháthairdhia means 'in the womb of the mother goddess', and is a journey of return, to oneness with her and oneness with ourselves. 

This is a short, four-part journey that blends self-led learning with online live circles and one optional in-person day of training and initiation that will take place in May and September 2023.

LEARNING JOURNEY

A BLENDED JOURNEY OF SELF-LED LEARNING, LIVE ONLINE SESSIONS AND AN OPTIONAL IN PERSON DAY OF TRAINING AND INITIATION

This dynamic, blended journey covers the basic components of energy alignment and our place within the natural world. It is centred around our reconnection and alignment with mother earth and provides an introduction to the Irish Healing Arts traditions. 

Here you will:

    Learn To Journey & Connect With The Elements Of The Natural World Physically & Spiritually 
    Create A Safe Space To Heal & Grow within
    Learn Nature-Based Wellbeing Skills & Tools
    Build A Foundation Within The Healing Arts of Ireland

ONLINE & SELF-LED

This journey is short, concise and profound. Our modules are self-paced with recorded transmissions of teachings and journeys that can be completed in your own space and time. Throughout your journey you have access to a forum where you can ask questions and expand on themes. You can also reach out at any time for further support. 

MONTHLY LEARNING CIRCLE

Once a month, on Saturday morning, a live circle takes place to explore themes deeper and support you with any questions or challenges you may have. During our circles we will also journey and work with the Irish goddesses throughout the year. Sessions will be recorded and available to watch back for participants unable to attend live.

INITIATION JOURNEY

In May and September, we have the opportunity to sit together within the land and elements in a sacred initiation and pilgrimage process with the elements and the Mother Goddess. These take place in the North-West of Ireland, in the abode of the ancestors. Attendance is optional but recommended for those who are guided to make the journey.

REFLECTION & SUPPORT

 

Once you have moved through each part of the journey, we will sit together and hold space for any questions or additional support you may need. 

You will receive a 90 minute one-to-one session which can facilitate a healing journey and alignment session, mentoring and space to explore any aspects of your journey you would like to discuss. 

You will receive a certificate of completion and are welcome to join any future live circles or come along to future initiation ceremony's and in-person training days to deepen your experience.

This journey forms the base of our deeper Healing Arts training. It is also a wonderful stand-alone process to help build a personal relationship with the ancient land energies and build valuable skills to support your self love journey.

"I have had one to ones with Lisa, done her priestess training and been on her women's circles. I find Lisa to be exceptional at holding space. There is a great level of safety and you feel like you're wrapped up in a cosy blanket.

That being said, it doesn't mean the healing journey was easy but it was facilitated in a very safe way which allowed you to go very deep. Lisa also checks in on you to see how you're getting on throughout. She has an extra level of caring and looks after you. The priestess course has been so enjoyable thus far. A lot of it is online but believe me you feel like you are with your sisters in person. And the in person sessions are even more beautiful and she attracts such beautiful people to her courses.

I find Lisa to be very authentic and it is reflected in the work she does. She has integrity and a gentle genuineness. Thank you Lisa!"
