Overview

Description
Who is this woman who has a bank holiday in Ireland, a mural in Kildare, and pilgrims flocking to connect with her? During our time together, we will explore Brigid’s example of care for creation, peace, compassion and justice, hospitality and contemplation.  We will reflect on the question: How am I being invited to live from a more expansive vision?

This program will include contemplative practices, facilitator reflections, and small and large group sharing.
