"Taking part in the Brighid Priestess Training was a life changing experience for me. From the first day, it became a deep spiritual journey guided by the amazing Carmel. A journey of self examination, self enquiry, self care but also of communion with the other wonderful women in the group that are like sisters to me now. The practices I have learned in this course accompany me every day bringing light, centering, and support to my life. Carmel is an amazing teacher, so knowledgeable but also so fun to work with and I thoroughly enjoyed our zoom meetings. The modules are really rich with reading material on all sorts of fascinating subjects and videos of the practices: healing, dancing, drumming, singing, shamanic journeying, crafts, etc… This is an investment for your life and I highly recommend this course to anyone who comes across it: it is not a coincidence you have found it…"

If like me, you want a training that enriches your life and connects you to your inner ‘draíocht’, look no further than Temple of Brighid.
Not only will you be provided comprehensive modules for deeper learning but an experiential journey like no other. If you love the heart and soul of Ireland and long to connect to her Sovereignty, this training will take you there.
There are many trainings and books written about Brighid and some of them are good but they fall short of Draíocht. This training has allowed me to connect to my own magic and for this, my heart shall ever be grateful.

“Temple of Brigid was way more than I expected, its a way of life. It has been a huge shift on the energy and the way to look at ancient Celtic traditions for the modern days.
Carmel is an expert in holding the space with integrity and humbleness and goes above and beyond for the group. The knowledge she shares is endless and it’s a very safe space for the students to grow individually and collectively.”

I can honestly say that this is one of the best courses I have ever
taken. I only had a vague understanding of the Celtic mythology and
how this impacted daily life. Carmel has put a lot of work into
making this a wonderfully interesting course of study and its
application to modern living.
Each module brings in new aspects and knowledge to work
through. The pace of the course is perfect to allow participants to
get familiar with the content and work through the exercises
provided. Getting familiar with the amazing energy of the Goddess
Brighid has changed my outlook on life and my way of living. I
will continue to develop a deeper relationship and connection as
already I feel the positive changes that have enhanced my life. The
future looks much brighter and rewarding and it is so reassuring to
have this wonderful guide to call on in times of need. I would
highly recommend this course for anyone seeking to improve their
way of life and living a more wholesome and fulfilled existence.

"For anyone who has an interest in Goddess energy, Brighid, Celtic rituals, connecting with the Celtic land, healing, Divine Feminine - this is the course for you. Carmel is a brilliant teacher and gives 110% to her students, offering guidance, wisdom, intuitive compassion and ancient teachings. She is a wealth of knowledge, has trained extensively and has a deep connection to Goddess Brighid and the Divine Feminine teachings. We are all blessed to have her as our teacher and I highly recommend this course."

“The Temple of Brighid training has been a deeply profound and
beautiful experience, reigniting my unbreakable connection to
Brighid. This journey helped me embrace the harmony within
myself as I was reminded of all that Brighid encompasses– a
balance that is both empowering and liberating.
I particularly loved how the online learning was thoughtfully
divided into modules aligned with the seasons. This approach not
only attuned me to the turning of the wheel but also deepened my
awareness of my own cycles. It illuminated how beautifully
interconnected we are as women with the rhythms of nature, the
phases of the moon, and the shifting seasons. This training is a
transformative gift, offering wisdom, strength, and a profound sense
of connection for all who are called to seek it.”

Participating in Temple of Brighid far exceeded my expectations
and I can only recommend it. Participating in the Temple is a
beautiful and deep journey of connection not only with the divine
feminine energy of Brighid but with the divine feminine within
one’s self. Carmel was there, alongside Brighid, throughout the
entire journey. Not only did she mentor us but she guided and
contained us with grace and good humour. The entire journey was
profound and thoroughly enjoyable.
Le Buíochas and Grá Carmel.

I highly recommend Temple Of Brighid Training. It weaves a lot of
ancient practices including essential oils, herbs and shamanism .
It prioritizes deep connection with the Land and allowing nature to
be our Teacher.
Carmel embodies all of her teachings and is a woman of her craft.
She leads with Divine Feminine Energy and creates a safe sacred
space and container to integrate, share your gifts, your vulnerabilities
and magic and to connect with other women who are on the Path.
This training requires devotion and dedication and it is much more
than a certificate.
It is an initiation into becoming who you really are at a Soul and
Cosmic level, to live your Truth and be the light that is needed in the
world.

I loved this course. From start to finish, Carmel is a wealth of knowledge. The course is perfect for self direction pace. Plus the
support from my fellow sisters has been amazing.It is much more than acourse. The learning, the experience and the connection has been
amazing. I highly recommend it to anyone who has a need to realign and reconnect, especially to remember our wisdom.

Loved the days connecting together with everyone, in nature,
having lunch, crafting, and in practice together online. Loved the
balance and mix of online and in person. A wonderful healing journey with a fabulous group of women. A beautiful way to learn more about Brighid, our ancient Celtic ways, connect with other like hearted women stepping into their power.
