Imbolc & Brigid's Day Ceremony [Portland]

  • Earth Space PDX 4135 Southeast Gladstone Street Portland, OR, 97202 United States (map)

hosted by Sarah Rayne

Imbolc, also known as Brigid's Day, arrives every February 1st on the Pagan Wheel of the Year. This sabbat celebrates the first stirrings of Spring beginning to take place underneath the earth, as well as the beginning of our personal emergence from our underworld journeys of winter.

This potent 2 hour group healing ceremony will include a talk on the energies of Imbolc, emerging from our underworld journeys, the Irish goddess Brigid, and the archetype of the triple goddess. We will weave magic, joy, and healing into our time together, and create a warm & cozy energy in the dark winter night.

After our talk & community discussion, you'll be led in a guided meditation, followed by magical nature crafting, storytelling, ceremony, and song.

Honoring the changing of the seasons and the rhythms of the earth allows us to come into deeper connection and harmony with the natural cycles of ebb and flow that we travel through as the wheel of the year turns. This can help invite us into deeper connection with our own inner rhythms, and deep ancestral wisdom.

All are welcome - no experience necessary!
