Reigniting the Flame at Bridget's Cottage

Join us for a soulful and celebratory day at Bridget’s Thatched Cottage at Drummany Spirit, Cavan on Sunday 2nd February from 12 to 6pm as we honour the timeless spirit of St Brigid and the ancient Celtic festival of Imbolc.

We are celebrating the reopening of Bridget’s thatched cottage after FORTY years!
After 40 years of quiet anticipation the heart of Bridget’s thatched cottage is reborn, reigniting its warmth and spirit in a beautifully restored hearth. This year we will gather to celebrate Lá Fhéile Bríde & Imbolc in the lovingly restored cottage, where the fire that once brought love and warmth to many will be rekindled in a special ceremony “Reigniting the Flame”.

The cottage which has been thoughtfully restored with care and respect for tradition, will once again become a sacred space where community connection and new beginnings can blossom. As the flames dance in the hearth of the cottage, the reigniting ceremony will bring together the energies of the past and present. Through ritual, song, dance and shared stories, we will celebrate not just Bridget who lived here with her brother Paddy & cousin Jim but a new chapter, a symbol of renewal, growth and projection. The heart of the fire reminds us that like the Thatched Cottage, we too can be restored and renewed no matter the years that have passed.

Activities on the day will include a Drumming Workshop, Ceremonial Fire Lighting, St Brigid’s Cross Workshop, Music, Sean Nos Dance, Stories, Song and Refreshments.

Adult tickets €25, children under 16 free (2 per paid adult).

As an artist I found this opportunity to be very nurturing environment for artists, to be given the opportunity to develop a piece of artwork in response to the festivals ambitions for uniting people through coming together in healing and nature.

Thank you Healing Spirit Festival for such a beautiful festival. This was truly a magical weekend. Surrounded by nature, our elders, Mexican natives here to help us remember and powerful generations coming behind us... it gave me the space to release and open up more to myself.

This was 5 months ago in Ireland at the Healing Spirit Festival. I returned to my homeland in search of community that aligned with my values. This was an alcohol and drug free weekend, a place of healing and connection and I’m so grateful it found me, for it was there that I met my tribe and it was there that I felt truly at home.

Julie Hayes

Healing Spirit Festival is such a brilliant festival. From the music to the sound baths in the forest, the restorative dancing, ceremonies and storytelling were just some of the wonderful things of the weekend. The people and vibe there was so friendly and welcoming. I can't wait to go back and experience it all again.
