The second annual Brigid’s Way walking pilgrimage will get underway this year on Saturday June 28th in Faughart and finish up a week later in Kildare town on Saturday July 6th.
The event is an Irish version of the famous Camino de Santiago and was held for the first time last July.
The pilgrimage will wind its way through quiet rural landscapes. Pilgrims will visit sites of spiritual significance, including Knockbridge, Hill of Slane and Hill of Tara and experience the magical landscapes of Donaghdee Forest and the Grand Canal en-route to Brigid’s monastic city in Kildare, arriving there on Sunday 6th July.
This unique co-curated pilgrimage offers participants an opportunity to:
- Walk for 9 consecutive days through beautiful Irish countryside.
- Visit many sacred places in Ireland.
- Take part in scheduled and spontaneous ceremonies.
- Learn about the ancient traditions of Ireland in the company of like-hearted people.
- Uncover layers of stories within ourselves and within the land of Ireland.
- Allow time and space to drop down into the deeper part of ourselves.
Each day pilgrims will walk 10 to 12 miles at a leisurely pace, with a support car travelling with the group at all times.
