INSTITUTE FOR FEMINISM AND RELIGION COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE

Institute for Feminism and Religion Company Limited by Guarantee, operating under the name Woman Spirit Ireland, is an educational charity founded in 1995 that explores a prophetic, interdisciplinary approach to feminism and religion. Drawing on a wide range of spiritual traditions and the emerging consciousness in Ireland, the organisation creates spaces for scholarly dialogue, artistic expression and community ritual centred on themes such as the goddess-saint Brigid, seasonal festivals and the shared heritage of Irish and Ukrainian cultures.

Its core activities include publishing research-based articles, organising study days, seminars and ritual ceremonies, and curating interdisciplinary events that bring together academics, theologians, historians, musicians, healers and artists. Notable programmes feature the Brigit Study Day at Trinity College Dublin, the "Symbols of Hope" series linking Ukrainian and Irish traditions, and seasonal celebrations of Imbolc, Bealtaine, Lughnasadh and Samhain. By offering free participation and multilingual translation, Woman Spirit Ireland serves scholars, students, cultural practitioners and the wider public, fostering inclusive conversations that bridge faith, gender and cultural identity across Ireland.
