Join us for our Annual Virtual Imbolc Celebration

Imbolc occurs at a time when we have been holed up against the winter chill for months- resting, preparing, and staying warm. Imbolc allows us to honor and embrace the quiet of the season; to mend items we will use in warmer weather, brighten and clean our homes, and begin to welcome back the light and fire of spring. 

Come join us for a weekend of connection focusing on the ways that we honor winter as a time of rest, renewal, and focus. We will share the skills and crafts that bring us through the winter, reflect upon our space and ourselves, lay plans for the coming thaw, and enjoy Imbolc-themed crafts and activities. Also sing songs, drink tea, and hang out- like we always love to do!

Event Details

The event will run virtually from Friday January 30 at 7pm to Sunday February 1 at 3pm. All times are EST.

Registration for the event can include an away box, which will contain tokens and treats for ritual and workshop throughout the weekend! Register before January 20th to give us time to mail your away box. The recommended donation is $20 to cover our fees, but payment is optional based on your ability. If you would like to donate more to help cover the cost of the event for others, donations are always welcome and deeply appreciated.

If you would not like an away box, we will provide a list of items you can gather to participate.
