The Temple Doors are Open
Tar Isteach, Come In!
You have entered the temple of Dream Midwifery, a birthing centre for your soul.
Dream Midwifery is a remembrance of who you truly are: a soul with a gift or what our ancestors called, your dán (”dawn”), a soul’s calling, a creative destiny - the unique meaning that you, simply by being you, bring to our world.
Modern life has severed our umbilical connection to the Celtic Otherworld, at times leaving us depleted, disconnected from our dán, and unable to receive the lifeforce energy available to us or give our gifts back in reciprocal flow with the living cosmos.
This is a temple for you to birth, grow, and let die the seasons of your life’s becoming in co-creation with the Otherworld.
‘Líadain had a dream: as if it were a star that fell into her mouth; which dream she related to the druids and to the wise ones of the time, and they said to her: “thou wilt bear a child whose fame and whose virtues shall to the world’s latter end be great.”’
- From the Life of Ciarán of Saigir
Like Líadain, you are here to birth your own star, your own soul.
Our Dán, our Soul’s Calling with Dream Midwifery
Our mission is to midwife your return to a fuller expression of your lifeforce through the Irish mystery tradition. Our values are rooted in a triplicity of:
1. Aliveness
We dance together to the ancestral beat of lifeforce energy where the cosmos moves through your being, the craic (that wink of the eye kind of joy) is a-flowing, and your purpose, your dán, is liberated to express itself more fully.
2. Remembrance
We (re)connect you to the Celtic Otherworld and the wisdom lineage of this island, exalting the timeless ‘Self’ that sings in the marrow of your bones.
This is homecoming.
This is remembering.
This is belonging.
3. Enchantment
Together, we return to an enchanted life pulsing with mystery and magic, where the Otherworld fuels the waking time and co-creation with the ancestors (mythic, familial, more-than-human kin) is a natural and essential part of daily life.
Your Guides
Dream Midwifery is the star child of two Irish women, anam chairde (‘soul friends’), Sarah Richardson, Midwife, Irish Witch, Author, Creative, and DJ of energy, and Jennifer Murphy, Celtic Mythologist, Anthropologist and Creative Visionary.
We focus on authentically living and breathing what we teach. This is our life.
Our work is rooted in unbroken Irish lineage and living on this land, where we weave professional competence with mystical depth, scholarly knowledge with lived experience, and of course, the craic alongside the sacred.
For us, the Otherworld is an active participant, not a metaphor. It moves through everything we do, guiding this work and the souls we accompany.
Bí linn - be with us.
