Description

Brigid's Place is a 501(c)(3) Tax-Exempt Non-Profit Organization that supports the development of women in mind, body and spirit.

Our purpose is to promote ecumenical relationships which are mutual, inclusive, and provide unity in diversity; relationships whose basis is love and "power with" rather than "power over" or privilege. For the goal, in truth, is the flourishing of all people in their uniqueness and interrelation.

We offer classes, lectures, discussion groups, weekend workshops and retreats where people can ask questions relating to their spiritual journeys, address their doubts, and become empowered to meet the challenges of life.

We are named after St. Brigid, a fifth century Irish Celtic Saint who founded a monastery of nuns and monks based on the social concept of equality of men and women. They were known for their wisdom, compassion, hospitality, and healing.
