Tending Our Flame: St. Brigid and the Light Within

Saturday, March 1, 2025

A musical-mystical workshop inspired by St. Brigid of Kildare, Ireland, crafted to help us kindle our inner fire during the coldest time of the year. Led by Allison Mondel, teaching artist and director of Eya Medieval Music, this experience weaves together story, contemplation, and rare medieval chant from Ireland. Together, we will explore how St. Brigid’s wisdom can illuminate and rekindle our inner flame, empowering us to radiate this light into our life, art, and work. Through mindful vocal practices, sacred chant, and guided contemplation, participants connect their voice to the radiant source within.

This event is free and open to the public. All are welcome to attend! Registration is requested, using the link below:
