About this Event
The On-line Goddess Lounge on February 2nd at 7.30pm will celebrate Imbolc and Candlemas with Fiery Brigid, Goddess and Saint. The Lounge Guests are the brilliant Cork storyteller, Kate Corkery and epic singer and trauma therapist Kate Daisy Grant.
The theme is Brigid's Day - keeping the flame alight.
In the 2025 Season of Goddess Lounge we will be celebrating plants. Brigid's trees are the purifying Birch, the sunny Dandelion, the red-berried Rowan, the innocent Snowdrop and the enduring Oak.
There will be story, song and discussion all along the vibrant theme of stepping into spring feeling purified and ready to follow the flame.
