Ireland is a landscape where story rises from stone and the past moves just beneath the skin of the earth. In this seminar, Margaret leads a virtual pilgrimage through terrain shaped by goddesses, saints, monks, and ancient builders. We begin in Dublin, contemplating the illuminated brilliance of the Book of Kells before pausing for tea beneath Harry Clarke’s jewelbright stained glass, where myth and mysticism shimmer in color. From there, we journey to Kildare to honor Brigid, radiant goddess of fire and beloved Christian saint whose presence threads through Ireland’s seasonal rites. In the Boyne Valley, we walk the ancestral pathway to Newgrange, the great Neolithic passage tomb aligned with winter’s returning light. We continue to Clonmacnoise and Glendalough, medieval monastic centers where early scholars tended manuscripts, prayed beside quiet waters, and shaped Ireland’s spiritual imagination. Finally, we stand upon the Hill of Tara, seat of the high kings, and Uisneach, the mythic navel of Ireland where the island’s provinces once met. Whether you seek mythic itineraries, historical insight, or simply the pleasure of story, this seminar invites you into Ireland’s enduring weave of legend, landscape, and luminous memory.
