Imagine gathering around a moonlit cauldron of storytelling and embodied wisdom, where the ancient presence of the Cailleach—our blue-skinned grandmother of mountains and valleys—beckons us into her realm.
Welcome, to the Full Moon Fairytale Céilí, where the Veiled One's stories whisper through the Samhain air, carrying the wisdom of ages.
The word Céilí means a friendly visit, a social gathering, or a dance in Irish Gaelic. It represents a coming together in celebration of friendship, community and life.
Here, you will enter a moonlit realm where ancient tales come alive and wisdom flows through your very being. In this virtual gathering, you will be transported to the heart of the Irish imagination as a portal for inner work.
Your Full Moon Journey
In this 75-minute immersion, you will experience:
Mythic Storytelling: Immerse yourself in the ancient tale of the Cailleach—the ‘Veiled One’, our Seanmháthair Naofa (Sacred Grandmother). As old as time itself, she is the divine creator who shaped the mountains and valleys of Ireland, Scotland, and the Isle of Man. With her blue-tinged skin and singular piercing eye, she stands as both creator deity and fierce protectress of the Gaelic lands.
Embodied Wisdom: Let the story's symbols and images flow through you in a guided movement practice, unlocking hidden insights. Feel the ancient power of the Cailleach's presence as she leaps across mountains, dropping rocks from her apron to shape the sacred landscape we know today.
Soul Meets Body: Experience the powerful dance between psyche and soma, revealing how this primordial mother figure—this goddess of weather, wisdom, and wild places—speaks to your own inner landscape.
What You will Need:
A candle
A journal and pen
Comforts like a warm brew or a blanket, whatever you need to enter the realm of story
A quiet, safe space where you feel comfortable to move with your eyes closed
A yoga mat, rug or blanket to support your knees as you move, along with comfy clothes that allow a full range of movement
An eye mask (optional) for those who prefer to move with covered eyes
Good sound equipment to hear the narration and music clearly
