The triple Goddess of the Tuatha De Danann, the three Brigits of judgement and protectors of Women’s rights of the Ulster cycle, and St. Brigit on the 1500 year of her death and how can we weave these stories into our Forest School practise.

Monday 25th March 2024; Myth; our collective home - Myth and Forest School practice.
Myth is the collective homeplace. Sometimes myth can feel untouchable, too sacred to tell, or somehow inaccessible to use at work. In this webinar Clare will introduce a few myths, and give some techniques for telling myth in a forest school setting. She will also give a reading list and some follow up ideas.
