Just beneath the surface imbolc mini retreat
In person at the village club blanefield 2nd February 1-4pM
Imbolc is the celtic festival marking the first suggestions of spring, sitting at the half way point between the winter solstice and the vernal equinox it bears witness to the quiet movements and preparations that exist mostly out of sight, just beneath the surface. The promise of new life to come, the hint of the possibilities that springtime holds.
As nature prepares to awaken from her winter slumber, so to do we. After months of moving inwards in our practices and our awareness, it is time prepare for the journey outwards. As the winter Cailleach anticipates her slumber it is nearing time to call to the Celtic goddess of Spring and Summer Brigid to assemble and take her watch over the land. We too can begin to call in the aspects of ourselves that exist and flourish in the spring and summer months.
The afternoon will be an opportunity to come together in community, to gather, regroup and replenish after the festive. To take time away from the demands of every day life, to draw on some support to carry us through the last and sometimes most vicious gasps of the Scottish winter. To look forward in the knowing that the full bloom of spring is closer than it feels. We will explore plant allies in the form of essential oils that engage with the energy of this time, drop into movement, breath and meditative practices that connect us to nature’s shifts all around us. This event is suitable for both beginners and those with a more established practice. Please get in touch with any questions.
