Courage in Transition: Columcille’s Sea Crossing
Stand on the stony shore of Donegal at dawn, where a small leather currach waits and the weight of an irreversible decision settles over the hills. This meditation explores St. Columcille (Colm Cille)—not through miracles or glory, but through the courage that comes from facing difficult truths and choosing the harder path forward.
Through slow breathing and the steady rhythm of the sea, discover strength that forms not through certainty but through honest reckoning with responsibility. Let Columcille's exile voyage to Iona, his grief over the Battle of Cúl Dreimne, and his founding of a monastery that would shape centuries teach you about courage in transition, the humility to begin again, and the resolve to move toward what calls you forward.
Perfect for: Facing difficult transitions with courage • Finding clarity when carrying responsibility or regret • Beginning again after mistakes or losses
