Hi! I'm Mary Coffey,

You are most welcome to gather with other Celtic Spirits on a journey around the Celtic Wheel of the Year. The Celtic Wheel offers a framework to explore Celtic Spirituality, the cyclical nature of the seasons and the eight festivals of the year, observed throughout the Celtic lands. 

As we move through each festival in turn, experiencing the energy of the season, and the stories of those associated with the festivals, we will go deeper into the elements of Celtic Spirituality.

The Celtic Spiritual Tradition is a way of being in the world. At its heart is the belief in the sacredness of all life, and the awareness that Christ permeates all of creation at all times. 

The Celtic Spiritual Tradition embraces the mystery of the Divine and the very real presence of the Otherworld, valuing intuition and imagination on par with the intellect.

The Celtic Spiritual Tradition embraces the interconnectedness of all things, secular and sacred. Our future depends on our honoring and nurturing this interdependence. How would our lives look if we recognized and honored the divinity in ourselves, in others, and in the world around us? 

I have been inspired by my participation in the Ceile De tradition and by Dolores Whelan and her book Ever Ancient Ever New. The book is available on her website: https://doloreswhelan.ie/ but it is not necessary to have the book for this course.

New!! New!! New!!

Due to the positive response to this offering, I had added an additional time slot! We will be gathering via Zoom on nine Thursdays throughout the year and now you can choose to attend either the 2:00pm eastern time slot or the 7:00pm eastern time slot. The material covered will be the same so no need to attend both; just choose the time slot that works for you!

• November 7, 2024 Samhain/Halloween/All Souls Day
• December 12, 2024 Winter Solstice/Christmas
