Priestess/Priest of Brighde-Brigantia
training in Avalon
by
Marion Brigantia
In-person and online
The Priest/ess of Brighde
training is a 2-year experiential & transformative journey of exploring aspects of Goddess healing, empowerment and love.
The training is based in Glastonbury being taught on or from the sacred Isle of Avalon.
The first and the ('3rd') Brigantia year of the training can be done online. The second year is (for now) only available in-person.
The first year of the training starts every year around the
time of Imbolc (1st February)
and can also be done online.
Becoming a Priest/ess of Brighde in Avalon entails taking part in ten weekends over two years of reclaiming and celebrating Brighde as Goddess of the Land, as Goddess of the Wheel and as Goddess within you and all around you.
The third year offers the opportunity to journey with the more wild and natural energies of Brighde-Brigantia and how She can be experienced in the seen and unseen places.

THE FIRST YEAR
Daughter/son of
Brighde of Avalon
This year you will journey with Her, connecting deeply with all Her aspects on the Wheel of the Year, so to explore and invite Her presence and energy inside you.
Through this deep and intricate teaching, She can be experienced as Bridie the Maiden and Brighde as transformative Fire Goddess; Bride the Lover and Brighde as Goddess of the Healing springs and wells; Bridget the Mother and Brighde's Green Mantle which is the Earth and finally Brighid the Crone and Brighde as wise Goddess of Air.
During the training we will explore aspects of Brighid as Goddess and Saint through myth and legend, as well as touch Celtic lore and other healing pathways that energetically align with intention of the teachings. All these exploration will invite you to forge a connection with Her in yourself.
All this will be done through working with myths & stories, exploring ways of thinking and different healing ways, sharing, meaningful ceremony, creativity and connecting with the Sacred Land of Avalon.
At the end of this year you will be able to dedicate as a daughter/son of Brighde, confirming this connection and your ongoing journey with Her.
THE SECOND YEAR
Priest/ess of Brighde
This year you will deepen your understanding of how Brighde’s energy can work for you and others as Priest/ess of Brighde.
You will learn about and practice specific Priest/ess pathways dedicated to Brighde, creating sacred space and special ceremonies as well as other specific Priest/ess skills and explore and touch on different aspects of Brighde as She is experienced in our world. At the end of this year you will be able to initiate as a Priestess or Priest
of Brighde.

Brigid Guiding Back To The Light
The training is a journey of healing, in which we also will be working with Magical and Earthly animals of which some are connected with Brighid through myth and legend: the Swan, the Snake, the Cow, the Wolf and the magical Unicorn, Selkie,
Phoenix and Dragon.
During both years we will be expressing Her energy through poetry, songs and specific Brighde related creativity, weaving your soul’s desire into being.
Journeying with Brighde is learning to recognise Her Fire in yourself and knowing yourself worthy of shining Her light through you out
into the world.
