Welcome

Dolores Whelan has been involved with education all her adult life, initially as a biochemistry lecturer, and for the past 20 years as an educator and spiritual guide working in the area of human and spiritual development in Ireland, Scotland, England and USA. She holds an M.Sc in Biochemistry from TCD. and an M.A. in Spirituality from ICCS California. While in the USA Dolores also studied Psychosynthesis and massage and healing. Over the years she has integrated these different disciplines to create her own unique approach to the work of personal and spiritual development. She passionately believes in the possibility of us humans becoming more fully ourselves. Her work supports the evocation the hidden potential in each person.

She founded and directed the Iomlanu Centre for Healing and Creative Living in Dundalk 1986—1997.

Her studies with Creation Centred Spirituality and Native American Spirituality in the USA in the early 80’s eventually led her to a journey of rediscovery of her own spiritual roots. She has been studying and exploring the spiritual tradition of the Celtic people especially in Ireland and Scotland since 1988. Her current work explores the gifts of the Celtic and pre Celtic cultures and their influence and relevance in today’s world. Part of that journey has been working with other people to protect the sacred landscape in Ireland which is under increased threat as “progress” rips through the county. She now facilitates workshops in Celtic spirituality and pilgrimages to the Sacred Sites in Ireland and Scotland.

She was a contributor to Celtic Threads (1999) and author of Your Breaking Point (1993). Her new book Ever Ancient Ever New Celtic Spirituality for the 21st Century explores the importance of recovering the many gifts present in that rich spiritual heritage. She is presently creating a series of CDs which explores the wisdom of the Celtic Spiritual Tradition. The first in this series is A Journey through the Celtic Year is now available. She lives in Ravensdale Dundalk Ireland and is available to facilitate courses in several aspects of personal and spiritual development. Contact her to create a unique experience for your centre, community group, staff development days. She can be contacted through her website www.doloreswhelan.ie or by phone 00353+(0)42-9371901.

Brigid of Faughart at Imbolc

Brat Bhríde welcomes you to this festival which celebrates Brigid of Faughart and the Celtic festival of Imbolc in myth, landscape, folklore, spiritual customs, music poetry and dance. The emphasis of this festival is to revisit and reclaim the richness of the traditions associated with Brigid of Faughart, in ways which are relevant to our lives in the 21st century.

The lectures and workshops will offer opportunities

• for expanding and deepening our knowledge of Brigid

• for tasting the Wisdom that she was and still is

• For integrating Feminine Consciousness more surely to contemporary culture.

The music and the time honoured rituals associated with Brigid and Imbolc will nourish our hearts and souls, and give us confidence in these uncertain times.

Brat Bhríde (Maura Lennon, Mairéad Heaney, Dolores Whelan, MariAnne Gosling, Maura Matthews, Catherine Pepper and Noreen Townsend ) is a voluntary group who have come together to organise this event.
