The Wheel of the Year
Imbolc, the first of 4 festivals
Spirit Room
Thursday, January 29, 2026
6:30 p.m. to 8:20 p.m.
Join us for the “Wheel of the Year” events that will include 4 of the 8 seasonal festivals: Imbolc, Beltane, Lughnasadh, and Samhain. These gatherings will be ritualized, celebratory, and creative, with primarily Wiccan and Neo-pagan influences to honor the seasonal thresholds. Each of the festivals has seasonal themes which will include symbols, stories, mythologies, and activities generally oriented to Pagan worldviews, but may occasionally weave in some Judeo-Christian elements. The four festivals will be open to all, with prior registration, and will be appropriate for all ages.
In a Circle together we will create Sacred Space and celebrate the turning of the Wheel of the Year to the season of Imbolc. Imbolc, translated as “in the belly” in the old Irish language, corresponds to other holidays in the Celtic and northern European traditions, such as Brigid’s Day (goddess and saint), and Candlemas. Imbolc is celebrated on February 1-2 and falls between the Winter Solstice and the Spring Equinox. It has been celebrated as a Celtic festival since ancient times. February is a time of darkness, deep cold and ice in the northern hemisphere, and yet we sense the very first stirrings of new life deep in the Earth. In our Sacred Space, infused with reverence and mirth, we will share rituals, symbols, and stories.
Please bring a simple snack to share (optional).
This event is proudly offered on a love-offering basis.
