Magical IMBOLC Retreat on Saturday 1st February at The Space Studios on the Dartington Estate. 5pm until 8pm.
Kundalini Style Yoga, Yogi Tea and Treats following by a beautiful Sound Relaxation with The Gong and other Instruments.
Join myself, Katie Carswell and Ruth for a retreat to honour and acknowledge this cross quarter festival – the middle point between Winter Solstice and Spring Equinox.
At this festival we celebrate the first emergence out of winter towards spring. It is a time for us to pause and listen to the inner whisperings of wisdom that we have gained over the winter hibernation period. We can pause to tune into the manifestation potential that is spring. At Imbolc, we are able to stir all of the seeds of life that have been buried deep within the soil and within us all over winter. We are called to begin to prepare within for the shift in season and re-emergence out into the world in spring.
We are called to search within for the wisdom that we need to find our way forward, we are gently and slowly shaking off winter and looking towards the hope of spring. We have learned so much from our quiet and reflective stage of the year and we are now ready to step into action.
This festival is associated with Brigid, Goddess of the Sacred Fire – she brings fertility (so we can birth new creations), wisdom and healing and teaches us how to nurture the land. Water is also associated with Brigid, for its cleansing properties and it was traditional to visit sacred wells at Imbolc to leave an offering and say a prayer to the goddess. Brigid later became St.Brigid and Imbolc became Candlemas.
We have chosen the Dartington Hall Estate as not only do we love it here but because it has a holy well in the gardens. The gardens are very close to the studio so you can either visit (if you so wish) to say your prayers, before or after.
Please join us if you can. Come alone or with friends/family.
The cost is £40. To book your space please contact Sarah on 07975511128 or email [email protected]
