GRMA for mentioning GAEL-Stack and the Gaelic Effect. So great to have a selkie in our community! BTW, have you seen the film the secret Ronan Inish??

Nearly embarrassed to admit I haven't seen it, only the beautiful animated Song of the Sea. Thanks Dian and welcome here!

I highly recommend it. It really is one of my favorite films set in Ireland! Which says a lot given how many beautiful films have been made here. :)

Annette, I am so excited by this offering you have created. I just know in my bones it is going to be such a gift to those who gather round to hear more about the selkie story. Thank you for creating this beautiful thing. I look forward to learning more and seeing how this tale as old as time itself can be applied to life today. And indeed we are all fite fuaite. x

I love the idea of your Selkie Circle, Annette, and saw myself when you described yourself as an introvert content in her own company, hovering on the periphery of other groups and social events. That is so me! But also like you, have at times felt the energy, the power and inclusively of women's groups. I wish you every success with this. That swimrise sounds incredible! 💕

Aw thank you, Ali 💙. As it happens, I listened to your story and conversation on Knotwork Storytelling this afternoon, and it was something you said about so many women tuning into Brigid's energy and running with it, as it were, and I thought, this is what's happening to me too with this Selkie Circle. ✨🦭🌊

This is so beautiful and stirring~ a girl this side of the pond joins you in spirit! I am headed to the isle of Iona in June, though, where I will be solo fasting for several days (!!!) and hopefully, swimming in the sea!

Thank you, Amanda 💙

Iona in June, mmm, the sea might be starting to warm up a little bit by then!
