This will be a more quiet (ruminant*) observance of Imbolg with Jean. Please dress to be outside. The ritual will begin inside and then move outside. Arrive at 7pm, activities begin at 7:30. The ritual is expected to be quiet and personal allowing space for the invocation of personal gods and the possibility of doing shadow work. It is the time when the earth is stretching and awakening, such quiet contemplation can help you wake yourself to the coming year. Comtemplative language appropriate for serious participants in expected.
Bring snacks if you like. Fire will play a role in the activities.
Welcome to the *Ruminant ritual explanation. In the past we have called these celebrations “adult” to indicate the contemplative quiet nature of the ritual that might not be appropriate for children or anyone who can not adapt to the quiet atmosphere. It never meant we engaged in activities intended only for 18+. To that end, Jean has developed the new term “Ruminant” to describe these follow up rituals held in the days following the Sunday, family friendly rituals.
