Imbolc Gathering 2027
Being, Becoming, Belonging
Friday 29th January 2027, 12.30-4pm, Studio 180, Bristol
Join us for this half day workshop to rekindle our inner fire, gently emerging from the sweet embrace of darkness to the new cycle of light and life that awaits.
Working with meditation, mantra, movement, poetry, journalling and more, we courageously offer our hearts to the alchemical fires of our generative energy to release the old, welcome the present, and shape what’s to come.
Imbolc is a time associated with Goddess Brigid, bringer of light, fire, fertility, healing, poetry and protection. These gifts support us in the metamorphosis from seed to stem, bringing the fire, nourishment and holding required to transform from a place of visioning and incubating to a time of creativity and growth.
THEMES
𝘽𝙚𝙞𝙣𝙜
Moving beyond our self-story into the simple yet profound power, wisdom and healing of presence. Orientating ourselves to finding awe in our every-day moment-to-moment experience.
𝘽𝙚𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙞𝙣𝙜
Compassionately recognising the past as the foundations and fertiliser of where we are now. Through our values and spirit, remembering we can alchemise the past into what unfolds next. What metamorphoses are in motion and how can we nourish them? Letting go of the destination. Trusting the unfolding. Welcoming the mystery.
𝘽𝙚𝙡𝙤𝙣𝙜𝙞𝙣𝙜
Deepening our sense of community through listening in. Knowing that we have a place in the family of things. Sinking into the group container and our own hearts to find that we can be seen, supported and celebrated.
