Seanchaí & Aislings: Irish Grail Lore
Free online workshop w/ Jeremy Schewe and guest Sam "Fergus" Brett, Sligo's Shanakee.
Recorded: March 12, 2023
In this episode, we were scooped up by the selkie and the seanchaí and conveyed to the Celtic Otherworld and back. Participants were invited to put on their silver shoes and journey to where the veil is thinnest in the secret remoteness of the Emerald Isle. We woke up on a mountain next to a lake that existed for years only in your dreams or follow a quiet thought down into a pitch-black cavern to meet the Great Mother.
In this 2-hour episode, Sam lead everyone on a deep journey into the sacred mysteries of the land around Sligo Ireland, spiritual home of W.B. Yeats and over 8,000 years of Irish heritage. Register for the recording for a deep listen. Prepare for an EXPERIENCE.
Guided meditation (pathworking) into Tír na nÓg, an aspect of the Irish-Celtic otherworld, also included at the end of the episode.

Jeremy Schewe
Recorded: May 21, 2023
Swim in the River of Souls on a deep journey of a Celtic gnostic pilgrim who seeks new purpose and renewal of faëth after losing his only daughter to the dark forces of our world. Discover the magic of the Way along 417 kilometers of the Camino de Santiago. Join the fellowship of saints, angels, and faeries along the pilgrim's journey.
Following his daughter's death, Jeremy was invited by his father to take up the pilgrim's mantle and share the fellowship of the road along the Camino through the heart of the Gaelic northwest of Spain. Follow a gnostic pilgrim's surprising walk through the living Galician heritage, natural communities, and mythological landscape. Track the transformation of darkness and pain into the gorgeous renewal of faëth in humanity and divinity. From chasing elusive chestnut cakes and feral dreaming, to foraging for wild foods and stilling the mind through ancient practices, dive into the simple beauty of fellowship shared with humans, saints, and the sídhe in this wonderfully transformative journey of the soul home to Deep Peace.
Episode 3
Reconnecting with Irish Immortals
Jeremy Schewe, Steve Blamires, Sam "Fergus" Brett, and Eric Atstupenas
Recorded: June 25, 2023
Connecting with our aislingí... Reconnecting with Irish Immortals. An invitation to gently connect with the Celtic spirit, the eternal presence inherent in the land, in our body temples, and in our collective memory. The invitation from the Otherworld comes again and again to wake up from the day dream and enter once again into Paradise - not in some other world, but this one.
After a brief intro from Jeremy in respect to aislingí and the sídhe, Eric shares a deep, personal, and gorgeous retelling of the Wooing of Etain with a 21st centruy twist and extricating the Dark Ages need to turn several of the powerful women characters into shadowed, conniving creatures. Find the gold within at the end of the rainbow. Through this telling, we come in contact with the Irish immortals, the Sídhe, the ancient Tuatha Dé Dannan, in a very personal journey.
Followed by reflections from Celtic author Steve Blamires and the Shanakee of Sligo, Sam "Fergus" Brett.
Episode 4
Discovering the TreeSong of Place
Ogham of Prince Edward Island
Free online program w/ Jeremy Schewe, Anne-Marie Dunphy, and Steve Blamires
Recorded: December 11, 2023
The voices and songs of the forests of our Celtic ancestry are encapsulated in the simple beauty of the ogham, the ancient tree alphabet. Yet how does one connect with all 20 of the ogham trees if we do not live in the Celtic isles where the species are all native?
Ann-Marie Dunphy from Prince Edward Island shares with us her deep discovery, intuition, and artistic flowering through the Ogham trees of Prince Edward Island… And her personal journey with necessary "translations" of surrogate species within the ogham palette for her native island.
An excellent invitation for all of us in the New World in connecting with the ogham trees of the places we call home. Come and see what Ann-Marie has discovered and perhaps hear the call to connect deeply with the trees of your ecoregion. Followed by a panel discussion with ogham experts Jeremy Schewe and Steve Blamires.
Episode 5
The Irish Camino - Part I
Restoring the Ancient Pilgrim Paths of Ireland
Free online program w/ Jeremy Schewe and Elaine Conroy
Recorded: January 21, 2024
While walking the Camino in Spain and Portugal twice in 2023 in honor of his daughter, Aela, Jeremy received a very clear call from several saints and Ireland herself to help restore several traditional pilgrim's paths in Ireland. Following in the footsteps of Fr. Frank Fahey of Ballintubber Abbey in County Mayo to reestablish Tóchar Phádraig and John O'Dwyer of Pilgrim Paths of Ireland to reinstate multiple 1-day pilgrimage across Ireland, Jeremy plans to walk a 168-km pilgrims path from Ráth Cruachan to the top of Croagh Patrick this February. Learn about the proposed route and Irish organizations that teaming together to recreate this route that may not have been walked since the mid-sixteenth century.
Come join in discovering the beauty of the proposed pilgrim route. Panelists who will be joining us for the discussion thus far include Elaine Conroy, Rathcroghan tour archaeology and mythology guide. This session will be followed in April when Jeremy will present results of the walk after his return. The invitation is open to join a group of sixteen pilgrims who will walk the route in its entirety in July of 2024 to ascend to the top of Croagh Patrick for Reek Sunday - the pattern day for the holiest of mountains in Ireland.
