Keening Ceremony

Keening is an old Irish tradition and was an integral part of an Irish ‘Wake’ which celebrated the deceased person’s life. A key aspect was the presence of ‘Mná Caoineadh’ (Irish Gaelic for ‘Keening or Crying Women’ pronounced ‘Meh-naw Keen-ah’). These were professional ‘criers’ who sobbed for hours shedding tears, anger, angst and any emotions that needed to be released for all present. They gave ‘permission’ to all to vocally lament especially for anyone who might find it more difficult to do so.

The modern version of the Keening Ceremony centres around a clear bowl or cauldron in place of a coffin. Instead of ‘official’ Keeners, everyone who wishes to take part sits in a circle around the Keening vessel with a black veil or scarf covering their head and eyes to evoke the ancestral women who took part in these ceremonies and allow inhibitions to be released easily.

It is a deep honour to faciliate this modern evolution of an ancient practise. We are releasing tears not simply for ourselves but for our lineage and our beautiful Earth. We are also bringing back the old ways for family members and beloved soul sisters. There are local in- person and online versions available in the content.

The Sovereignty Rites of Ériu

Powerful Goddess Ériu prevented war when the Milesians arrived to invade by wisely welcoming them to keep the peace on condition that they name the island after her. From Ériu to Éire to Éireann and eventually Ireland, this sacred land holds the energy of her sovereignty. She encourages anyone with a soul connection to Ireland to awaken to full power, proud of our heritage and the ancient wisdom that lies in her earthy domain. She embodies the sacred landscape and holds the gift of sovereignty inviting us to know that no matter how great the obstacles, there is always a way forward.

This Rite is the opportunity for women to claim their personal sovereignty – to be in full holistic power. Ériu is the Irish Goddess who found a way to prevent war and envision peace on this island through immense difficulty. She communicates to us that no matter how great the obstacles, we too can face challenges bravely and with wisdom and discernment even if not popular with others.

As Goddess of Ireland, Ériu invites us to ask ourselves if we honour or indeed know our own sovereignty. She will awaken this ability within us with these Rites and be our guide and guardian as we bring this important aspect into our lives.

Skyclad Swimming - Local Circle

This wild and wonderful Theme gifts us the delicious invitation to consider swimming naked in some or all of our glory, in the company of like-hearted women. Skyclad Swimming is all about body consciousness, daring to bare and community strength and safety.

It is one of the most rewarding Themes to be a part of and a huge milestone for many of us women. The word ‘Skyclad’ means wearing nothing but the Sky, naked as the day you were born. The deliciousness of feeling the water against your bare skin, the fun and laughter of the community of women together and the freedom of it all is exhilarating!

As women how are we with our bodies and our nakedness? What messages, conscious or unconscious, did we pick up from our mothers & grandmothers. Do you ever admire another woman for what you don’t see in yourself, thinking ‘her breasts/legs look fantastic’ while ignoring your own? Liking someone else’s curves but berating yourself for carrying a few extra pounds? This is a unique opportunity to honour your feminine body and the sacredness inside. This Theme is ideally offered outdoors by the sea, ocean or riverside but can also be facilitated at an indoor pool or jacuzzi.

Summer Solstice - Goddess Danu

Danu is the personification of the Earth itself here in these Celtic Lands, where she provides for us with natural abundance and generosity.

Lughnasadh - Goddess Macha

Northern Irish Goddess Macha’s gift is to know that we do indeed reap what we sow. She teaches us to bravely speak up no matter the consequences. Lughnasadh is a time of much revelry as communities, after the hard work of bringing in the early harvest, celebrated their bounty. We may be inspired to realise our good fortune too.
