Imbolc and the Feast of Brigid

Join us at the Forest for the traditional Celtic celebration of welcoming the spring and the re-emergence of the sun!

St. Brigid’s Day/Brigid’s Day/Imbolc marks the traditional beginning of spring among Celtic cultures.

We will spend time throughout the weekend in meditation, story, song, and celebration as we begin to turn our hearts and thoughts toward the blessings of springtime.
