Imbolc 2025

What is Imbolc?

This is the time of the year when the ground is first awakened and the seed placed in the belly of the earth. This is a significant moment in a community which depends on the earth for food.

Who arranges celebrations?

Each Celebration event has a volunteer host, often aided and abetted by others, who calls the date, time and venue for the gathering and also the intention and focus, bringing to the fore the energies of the season. If no host steps forward to hold a face-to-face get-together, or for distance links, Connect provides a focus.

The volunteer hosts over recent years include Danielle, Vivia, Zoey, Jean, Martin, Marta, Dana, Anne, Tom, Bernadette Mac, Susan, Bernadette C, John M, Pat, Nora J, Nora M. Others who felt the call to tune in and plan each celebration have included Anne B, Des, Eileen, John A, Mary, Mary O, Theresa, Yamann and many others, who join in body or in spirit. The website is maintained by Nora J.
