COURSE

The Sacred Flame Of Brigid - A Celtic Path To Wholeness

With Dee Hennessy

In this six lesson course, we will walk together with St. Brigid, exploring the deep wisdom and healing she offers for the modern world. Brigid’s spirituality is a powerful antidote to the fragmentation, disconnection, and busyness that many of us experience in our fast-paced, technology-driven lives. Her wisdom, rooted in ancient Celtic spirituality, teaches us to slow down, reconnect with our hearts, and find peace in the present moment. Each lesson delves into a core aspect of Brigid’s spirituality—her wisdom as a healer, protector, and divine inspirer—and how these teachings guide us toward a life of inner peace, authenticity, and joy. Brigid offers us a pathway to restore wholeness, reminding us that the sacred is alive in the everyday moments of life. Through storytelling, meditation, and reflection, you will reconnect with your own truth and embrace the sacred flame of creativity, purpose, and peace that resides within you. Brigid’s teachings offer not only spiritual nourishment but also practical guidance for living with intention, mindfulness, and compassion in the 21st century. This course is an invitation to walk the path of self-discovery, personal transformation, and spiritual alignment with the heart of St. Brigid. Her ancient wisdom speaks to our modern needs, offering a map for navigating the complexities of contemporary life with grace, presence, and joy. Each of the first five lessons includes a story and a teaching from Brigid, followed by a guided meditation to support integration of her wisdom and spirit into our everyday life. The final bonus lesson is a beautiful chant and an invitation to journal on the insights you have received.

Lesson 3

Brigid's Creative Fire

Brigid is the patroness of poets, makers, and midwives—those who birth beauty, truth, and possibility into the world. In this lesson, we explore creativity not just as artistic output, but as a sacred force of renewal. Whether through words, movement, ideas, or the quiet creation of a life that feels true, Brigid’s flame invites us to rekindle what longs to come alive through us.

Lesson 4

Brigid - The Sacred Protector

Brigid has long been invoked as a guardian of hearth and home, of kin and creatures, of body and spirit. In this lesson, we meet Brigid as protector—not with shields and swords, but with presence, compassion, and fierce love. We explore how her protective energy can help us set boundaries, claim space for rest and healing, and feel held in our most vulnerable moments.

Lesson 5

Brigid As Anam Cara - Soul Friend

At the heart of Celtic spirituality is the concept of Anam Cara, the soul friend. In this lesson, we explore how Brigid embodies this sacred companionship and how nature, others, and even our own spirit can walk with us as soul friends through hardship and healing.

Lesson 6

Chant Of The Flame - A Sacred Sound Practice

In this final lesson, I invite you to rest in the healing rhythm of a sacred chant called Caim agus Currach. The sacred Gaelic chant is used in part in each lesson and in full here with the kind permission of Céile Dé, an esoteric Celtic path of spiritual awakening. The Currach is a small boat without oars or sails, and the word 'caim 'means encompassing or encircling.It is often used to mean a loving and protective Divine Grace that encircles us wherever we go. As you let this simple, yet powerful chant wash over you, the invitation is to allow yourself space to pause, breathe, and listen — not only to the chant, but to what has stirred within you throughout this journey. Let the repetition become a doorway to deeper wisdom, and a pathway to insight, integration, and sacred remembrance.

My favorite course I’ve ever taken on Insight Timer! I feel like I learned things about Celtic spirituality in general, Brigid in specific, and also about myself. Fosters self reflection and very well led. Beautiful music too that feels sacred.
