Opening to the Tradition of Céile Dé
With Fionn tulach www.ceilede.co.uk/tachings.htm
Farmhouse - 10am to 5 pm - Fee TBD
This Day of teachings is offered to any of you who are interested
in the Tradition, but may also be of interest to those who have
walked this Path a while and would like to revisit, or may indeed
have missed some of the foundational teachings.
In our day together, we will:
- - Learn about some of Céile Dé's contemplative
practices
- Explore some of the historical, semi-historical and mythological
origins of the Tradition
- Hear some of the philosophy of the Tradition
- Learn about The Holy-days (called 'The Nine Heights') and how
the Tradition works with
them esoterically for inner transformation
- Work with ancient Gaelic sacred Chants
- And more... if we have the time...

Immradi Senchas: A Word-Voyage Around the Old Lore, With Fionn tulach
www.ceilede.co.uk/tachings.htm
Farmhouse - Times TBD - Fee TBD
This residential workshop is an opportunity to explore and absorb
the transformational teachings of the Céile Dé as
well as reviewing some aspects of the tradition that have been taught
in previous years (newcomers who have attended the previous day's
introductory teachings are very welcome). To help intensify the
experience, much of the gathering, between teaching sessions and
devotional practices, will be held in silence. There will be time
to walk in the beautiful grounds of our venue. There will also be
regular meditative practices each day. The Céile Dé
Path exists for people who desire deep involvement in a spiritual
life that is rooted in Christ consciousness, the Land, and the Celtic
Tradition. This retreat is for people who wish to dedicate themselves
to inner transformation through a disciplined esoteric and devotional
path opening to mystical union. It is for people who understand
that a spiritual life is not about having "beliefs" or
"dogma"; rather, it is about moving beyond the boundaries
of conditioned thinking toward that infinite consciousness called
Imbas Forasnai - The Great Knowledge that Illuminates. ONGOING COMMUNITY:
Retreatants will have the opportunity to consider further, ongoing
teachings and practices within dedicated local groups that offer
a powerful container for those who seek a path that invites commitment
and openness to real inner change.
