Join us for an exciting in-person event where you can immerse yourself in rich Irish culture and traditions. Discover the ancient customs and folklore surrounding this special Celtic festival.
Cross-quarter dates are astronomical events that occur between solstices and equinoxes. The veil between worlds and dimensions is thin during these times, making them a powerful time to interact with the spirit realm and set intentions for the coming months. Cross-quarters are arguably the most important, magical times of year to Celtic and pre-Celtic cultures across Eurasia. Celebrating the cross-quarters is one of the best ways to harmonize ourselves with our ancestors, our communities, nature, and the cosmos.
You’re invited to a workshop to honor Imbolc, the sacred cross-quarter date between the winter solstice and the spring equinox!
