Slí an Druí Celtic Spirituality Weekend
Sacred Knowledge and Indigenous Spiritual Traditions
31st May to 2nd of June 2024
This is an introduction to the Celtic Path, there is no framed certificate or practitioners diploma - just an introduction. Looking deep into Ireland’s forbidden unwritten history, trying to avoid the disinformation of the imperial (state and church) literary traditions, finding and connecting the dismissed and seeing from an indigenous perspective allows qualified guidance to seekers. This is not about repeating the ‘approved’ version of our history - it is about connecting to a Path that our ancestors walked on, advising seekers on what not to bring and on how to see, feel and enjoy their own experience as they connect to and re-activate their own Celtic Inner Light.
This course takes place once a year and is open to four participants. During this weekend course you will attend lectures in the class room, spend time outside in Nature and go deep inside with focused dreaming. Ard Druí Con Connor will guide and introduce you to the outer three realms of Land Sea and Sky, the inner three cauldrons of Warming, Vocation and Knowledge and the True Time of our ancestors. Each participant will be given a leather bag or Corr Bolg. This Corr Bolg is hand sown and has a strap designed to go over the head – into this magic bag you can put the 3 symbols and the 3 Oghams that you will gather on this weekend course, these keys open the doorways of perception to your inner and outer Path.
Fee €600 - Accommodation and all meals are provided. Accommodation is provided in a 270 year old Tigín (stone built tiny house). Fee is payable using the paypal link below.

Slí an Druí - Celtic Spirituality Weekend
31st May to 2nd of June 2024
All seekers know that the Celtic Path has been hidden for a long time – but a truly unique Celtic Path exists for you. Getting focused on your Path helps you get direct personal contact with the knowledge of the Ancestors and with the Source. We will enjoy ‘Trí Aisling’ (three magical dreamings) for access to each of the Three Realms. Conscious co-creation is an expression of focused dreaming in this world and this is crucial to walking your Path. We use the Three Cauldrons within us to understand the inner expression of the Three Realms. We share understanding of True Time and as we step away from the 'worker robot' control mechanism – we align with the cycles of the Sun and Moon and just as our Ancestors did; so do we.
As we connect to the ancient ways – we can access and connect to the Wisdom of the Ancestors, we can become conscious Caretakers of the Earth and by who we are and what we do – we can (when asked) offer guidance to seekers. |
