The promoters of the Pilgrimage, Dolores Whelan and Karen Ward invite pilgrims to join them walking in on this ancient pathway and to allow the wisdom of the majestic landscape and the inspiration of Brigid guide them:
– to ponder on life’s journey
– to shed what no longer serves us
– to dream in a bright and soulful future
So why don’t you join Dolores and Karen and walk a mile or two of Brigids Way?
