Celebrate Imbolc, a turning of the season
Join us for Imbolc, Saturday 31st January, 5-6.30pm, The Abbot’s Mill, St. Radigund’s Street, Canterbury
Following a very excellent and enthusiastic turnout at our winter solstice ritual, we’re eager to welcome you back to the Abbot’s Mill for the turning of the season. We’re now approaching Imbolc, or St. Brigit’s Day, which is known to be a festival of cleansing.
Join us on Saturday 31st January at 5pm at the Abbot’s Mill to mark the impending departure of winter and participate in a community cleansing.
This is a pagan-themed, but nondenominational, event and all are welcome!
As a major sabbat, Imbolc is traditionally celebrated with fire, and we will be lighting a strong fire as a gathering point and source of warmth.
As always, these rituals intentionally call for us to connect with nature and fellow animals. It is a vegan ritual, no animal products are used and the benefits of our collective work are hoped to spread beyond the species barrier.
Please dress appropriately for the weather. We do discourage folks from arriving late as it can be disruptive to the ritual. We will be incorporating drumming at this event, please feel free to bring your own percussion.
Family inclusive, dogs warmly welcomed. This is an alcohol and smoke-free space.
Upon arrival, follow the path toward the back – we usually gather by the river at the left side.
