The Brigidine Sisters at Solas Bhríde
Guest Presenter on the Magic of Celtic Ireland Tour
The Brigidine Sisters "began a discernment process in the early 1990’s with regard to their mission and the approaching millennium. Arising from that discernment two sisters, Mary Minehan and Phil O’Shea, came to live in Kildare town in 1992. They lived in rented accommodation for two years while awaiting their new home in 14 Dara Park. They opened a small centre for Christian Celtic Spirituality called Solas Bhride (light/flame of Brigid). The vision of the centre was to explore the legacy of St. Brigid of Kildare and her relevance for our time."
We have had the pleasure of visiting Sisters Mary, Rita, Phil and Geraldine since before the inception of Solas Bhríde Centre and have seen the miraculous work that they have accomplished to keep their mission alive. They are truly inspired and supported.

Renee Walsh
Guest Presenter on the Magical Mystical Malta Tour
Two decades ago, Renee left corporate health care to devote herself full time to the metaphysical community. Her life has been heavily involved in the metaphysical realm for most of her adult life.
As she became more engaged in the spiritual world in the mid-1990s, Renee began to question her existence and where she fit within the world. While pursuing her spiritual journey, she explored a variety of subjects including meditation, crystal therapies, Angel Cards, psychic development, and more. Her journey to become a Reiki Master and her studies into Astrology were born from a search for something bigger. Her life was forever changed when she had the chance to discover the Destiny Cards in 2007.
She began teaching the Destiny Divination System in 2008 in addition to offering many classes centered around self-discovery. As well as providing Destiny sessions, Renee also offers Healing Sessions, Akashic Record Readings, and Mentoring Programs.
Her work with others is not only a labor of love, but she is honored to assist them in understanding and empowering themselves. Life here is a journey of growth and development, as each of us strives towards that goal of perfection, bliss or enlightenment.

Peter van Deursen
Guest Presenter - Journey to Southern France
Peter and his wife, Anneke set up their French company, Barinca Travel & Tourism following years of being very active in the world of tourism. Peter was a tour guide, travelling through Europe for a big Dutch tour operator for over 18 years, and Anneke was a travel agent and writer of travel booklets.
Peter writes, “In 1998 we fell in love with Cathar Country; with the enigma of Rennes-le-Chateau, the story of the Cathars, the many castles and forts, the Pyrenees, the ancient abbeys, the medieval villages, the food and the people.”
Tragically Anneke lost her battle with cancer in July 2022. Anneke’s contribution to the exploration of Occitania was impactful and she is remembered fondly and missed by many. Personally we miss her very much, she was an incredible bright light and wonderful guide...
Peter carries the torch for their shared passion, to protect the Occitan culture, which is founded on the forgotten history of the area. Occitania is one of the richest cultural heritages of Europe but is hardly ever mentioned in the history books. Peter will be very happy to tell us about this amazing land of Occitania and its incredible history and secrets.
