Imbolc Potluck and Ritual – Hosted by Earth Centered Spirituality
Friday, January 31st
6:00 – 8:00 pm, Foyer and Channing
Join us as we celebrate Imbolc, a traditional Irish festival marking the midway point between the Winter Solstice and the Spring Equinox. It is a time to honor Brigid, the goddess of fertility, healing, poetry, and smithcraft, and to celebrate the returning light as winter begins to wane.
Through a community potluck, ritual, and fireside connection time we will nurture our dreams, ignite our inner fire, and honor the spark of renewal within us all!
This event is open to individuals of all backgrounds and beliefs who wish to come together in reverence for nature and community. All ages welcome and wanted – bring the whole family.
Join “Spiritual: Earth Centered Spirituality” in Realm to RSVP & stay connected.
What to expect:
💚 Seasonal crafts including Brigid’s Crosses and a wooden intention chain.
🕯 A brief but meaningful program of music, movement, and community ritual.
🔥 Time for community connection by the fire.
What to wear:
🍀❤️🐑 Dress in the symbolic colors of Brigid if you can! – green, red, and white. As always, we encourage you to adorn yourself in nature – try making a crown, headpiece, or corsage with items found in nature.
What to bring:
