Inspired Imbolc: A Brigid's Cross Mini-Retreat

  • A Virtual Mini-Retreat (map)

You are invited to celebrate the turning of the Celtic Wheel of the Year in ceremony and community! Celebrate Imbolc, the mid-point of Winter (or the first day of Spring within the Celtic Wheel of the Year), by gathering together in a virtual sacred circle with this mini-retreat.

This virtual, live mini-retreat will include:

  • Officiated liturgy and blessings;

  • An overview and teaching on the significance of Imbolc and of Brigid, goddess from Celtic mythology, Christian saint, and a symbol of feminine power;

  • Live instruction for making your own Brigid’s Cross;

  • Guided personal reflection time;

  • Facilitated space to hear from and connect with one another;

  • Support to create your own personal ceremony to deepen into the sacramentality of this festival day.

Our time together will be a potent set-apart time, a time dedicated to the seasonal energies that are moving within and throughout us, in our own inner-nature, as well as throughout the wild world. Inspired Imbolc is a time for you to reflect on the spring-ing energies within you, and to engage with the symbols of Brigid as aids to support you as you cross the various thresholds of your own life.

Registered participants will receive a preparation list of what to bring to this mini-retreat to ensure they have the proper materials to create their own Brigid’s Cross, as well as to foster their own sacred retreat space within their homes to enjoy this time personally within our virtual gathering. The program will be recorded for those who register and cannot attend.
