This year we will celebrate Brigid, daughter of Dagda on Saturday 28th of January. We host an open and free ceremony for Imbolg at 1:30pm followed by our traditional Brigid's Cross making afternoon. Special designs such as three legged and spinning weave will be demonstrated and taught by Ard Druí Red John.
Picture
 The ceremony and workshop will be held in the comfort of the Hemp Hall. Places are limited so forward booking is important to secure your place - contact us at celticdruidtemple@gmail.com Some people are unsure about variations on the 4 legged version so we took some pictures in the Armagh Museum and the Ballina Festival to show the wide variations that exist.

The crosses above with the blue background are on a display board seen at the Ballina Salmon Festival - they are copies of the Brigid's Crosses on display at the National Museum for Country Living in Co Mayo. The crosses below (cream background) are on show in the Armagh Museum in Co Armagh, Ireland.

Attending our ceremony for Imbolg at 1:30pm followed by our traditional Brigid's Cross making afternoon is open and free of charge - but as places are limited = you must make prior contact at celticdruidtemple@gmail.com

Also if you live too far away we always have a healing circle where we send some energy out, so just email me your name and we'll send some light your way during the ceremony.

Deep Understandings shared on this weekend of Sky

25/3/2015

0 Comments

 
Picture
Throughout the year we hold three weekend workshops and three 4 day workshops. These are open to members only. The focus of the weekend course is to introduce you to the three realms and the four day course is an extension of each realm where we take you deeper into the experience.

The three Realms are outside of us; the realm of sky above us, the realm of sea below us and the realm of land all around us. We interact with these realms on a daily basis, each realm interacts with the other but has it's own unique qualities and wisdom available to us when we consciously connect.

These realms are mirrored inside of us too. In the April weekend workshop we focus on the realm of Sky, all that is above us. We take a good look at the skies during this weekend, lots of cloud watching and star gazing. We take a look at our own sky realm, inside of us- our own wisdom and how we interact with the rest of the world.

During each weekend workshop we present an understanding on the principals of True Time, this is the cycle of the sun, the moon, the stars and the planets we look at the 8 solar ceremonies and how they connect with solar and stellar events. We also explore Celtic mythology and how the stories are mirrored in the sky above us. On the Saturday evening we guide you in a deep dreaming, this is a visualization that takes place in our lovely warm Hemp Hall with underfloor heating. This visualization will bring you to meet the ancestors and you will bring back a personal message to guide you on your path.

We will demonstrate and teach a series of simple energy exercises, gentle movements coordinated with the breath and some simple Irish words. These exercises help us to focus on our connections with the natural world around us.


Picture
  • Our workshops are very focused and only ever have 4 people in total. 
  • We always provide organic local food and good quality Living Water
  • We keep the courses really well priced
  • The location is quiet, peaceful and the perfect place to connect or reconnect to Nature and your self.
  • You're guaranteed a unique experience that you won't get any where else
  • You can also stay either side of the workshop and volunteer on our farm-give some energy to the land and help with the project of the day- anything from planting willow beds to weeding around trees in the forest.
"A very relaxed warm hospitable down to earth non hierarchical welcome upon arriving helped make the weekend fun as well as highly educational. Only being 4 people in the group as opposed to 40 definitely made the weekend very personal to all there and showed that druid school is very genuine about the work they do with people there. I had a great weekend from which I left feeling very refreshed and positive. Thanks Con and Niamh."

Spring Equinox Weekend of Celebration and Learning - March 2014

22/2/2014

9 Comments

 
PictureArd Druí Niamh and the Realm of Sky
Celebrate the Spring Equinox with us here on our 16 acre West of Ireland retreat, for a weekend of Celtic Spirituality and Learning. 

This March 15th to 17th, join us at the Celtic Druid Temple where we will offer local and organic food and living holy water as your sustenance for a weekend of Celtic Spirituality. 

This weekend is a basic introduction to the Celtic Druid Path focusing on the Realm of Sky and the Cauldron of Wisdom. In the Realm of Sky we can see the myths of our great heroes. In the Cauldron of Wisdom we see the results of our knowledge and experience can create the basis for higher Wisdom. We look to the cycles of True Time that our Ancestors looked at. 

We will also be hosting our monthly full moon ceremony and moot on the Sunday night here in Temple Crom and on Monday we will watch the sunset behind Ireland's holy mountain from Rathra, a four ring ceremonial enclosure 60 miles away from the Reek. 

More than that; at noon on Monday 17th we celebrate the middle of the equal day/night called the Equinox with a sacred fire ceremony and we take Crom out from inside his Temple and place him over the entrance gates.  

We offer many weekends throughout the year, please find more information and booking options here at Realm of Sky.
Click here for Booking information.

PictureFull Moon Ceremony
The Full Moon ceremony 8pm on the 16th of March and the Spring Equinox ceremony at noon on the 17th of March are open and free for all to attend.
