ABOUT OUR VENUE – TEACH BHRIDE HOLISTIC EDUCATION CENTRE:
Situated in the town of Tullow, Co Carlow, nestled in the grounds of the Brigidine Convent, Teach Bhride Holistic Education Centre is the ideal place to take time out from the stresses and pressures of modern living. The beautiful rolling gardens with mature trees and ample seating areas help to create a soothing ambience for reflection and relaxation away from the incessant distractions of everyday life.
About St Brigid and the Nuns – Teach Bhride supports people in their desire to live full and meaningful lives in harmony with themselves, with others and with the Earth. The centre is committed to the development of the whole person, integrating body, mind, spirit and feelings, and providing opportunities for people to grow and find meaning in a way that is appropriate to the uniqueness of each person.
Brigid of Kildare (c.452-525) is the patroness of the Brigidine nuns and of those who have a care for the earth, for justice and equality, for peace and reconciliation. And her life and work is now commemorated by the public holiday for St Brigid’s Day in February each year.
”I was lucky enough to stay at Teach Bhride for a week in Summer 2023 and knew it would be the ideal spot for a weekend of Tai Chi and Tranquility! I was attending a very intensive and emotional training week and felt so supported by the peaceful and comfortable surroundings as well as the delicious, nourishing and plentiful food prepared by Teach Bhride’s gifted and generous chef.
If you fancy a weekend of ‘kindfulness’, serene surroundings, refreshing greenery, open spaces, room to breathe, an energy boost, comfy accommodation, delicious “home-cooked” meals as well as a de-cluttered and refreshed mind and body – then this is the weekend for you!! This will be my second event there and I can’t wait to welcome you again!“
