Imbolc Community Ceremony: Tending the Fires of Courage and Creativity🔥

Tending the fires of courage and creativity in community to melt the ICE and welcome in the spring…🔥

In-Person in Seattle & VIRTUAL on Zoom!

Imbolc 2026 finds us in the middle of Winter.
Winter on the Earth, and winter in this collective moment…

Old structures are collapsing. The path ahead is unclear. Many of us are bracing, contracting, and holding our breath. The days feel dark and uncertain.

And yet, the Earth reminds us that Winter is not stagnation…It is preparation.

The resting before the rising. The darkness before the light…

Beneath frozen soil, life is organizing itself for what comes next. Beneath our fear and overwhelm, something is asking to awaken. There is a quiet but powerful stirring beneath the ground and in our hearts.

Imbolc marks the sacred threshold between winter and spring. A liminal moment on the Wheel of the Year when the Earth, and our own inner fires, begin to warm and stir.

At Imbolc, we call upon the Goddess Brigid to help awaken our inner longings and ignite our fires of creativity and courage to sustain us for the journey ahead.

Imbolc is also a time to melt the ICE...(Yes, that ICE). 🧊

And while the exhaustion and overwhelm are so real, this is not the time to isolate or give up.

This is the time to gather.
This is the time to tend the fires of courage.
This is the time to drink from the well of creativity together, in community.

In times like these, creativity is not optional.
It is how we survive.
It is how we imagine new futures.
It is how we return to our human hearts and remember what is possible.

So join us for a three-hour Imbolc ceremony held in sacred community around a hearth fire. Through ritual, sound and song, meditation, reflection, and creative tending, we will call upon Brigid, goddess of fire, poetry, and justice, as a fierce guide and fiery protector. We will invoke her courage to help us melt what was built to harm and kindle what longs to thrive.

Because our magic is stronger together, this ceremony will also include a community karmic justice spell, directing our collective intention toward the dismantling of ICE and toward futures rooted in dignity, safety, and belonging. 

🔥Half of all proceeds will be donated to organizations working to end ICE. 🔥

Come tend your inner fires of creativity and courage. ❤️‍🔥
Come draw from the well of community magic.
Come help melt the ice…
