Lá Fhéile Bríde, Ímbolc... the dawn of Celtic Spring. Reigniting the heart-hearth. Tonight, we give praise to Bríde (Brigid) as a sovereign goddess of the southwest of Ireland, and as the darling saint of our Irish and Celtic heritage.

​

​The evening will open with a 1-hour traditional Brigid's cross making experience with rushes to bring home.  Optional dinner will served at 6:00 pm with ceremony, music, and dancing by the hearth beginning at 6:45 pm.

 

The Flame and Rose Ceremony - supported by all of us singing with ecstatic Irish chanting (ceol deogí), is a centuries old ceremony is very personal in internalized in respect to the season. You may, if you choose, just sing and dance to your heart's content, or come to ceremony altar by the hearth and mirror to burn away the duff from the previous year and winter.... and call in the seeds of intention that you are planting in the fertile soil of your heart and mind.

​

Come reignite the passionate flames of your soul, heart and mind (in Irish: ímbas, and Wesh: awen). Come help reignite the eternal flame of Brigid and the beauty of our collective and colorful community
