The Imbolc Rite

Purification • Warmth • New Life

A seasonal ceremony devoted to honoring the Earth’s cycles and our human need for ritual, belonging, and clean turning.

Private location north of Ganges, Salt Spring Island
Sunday, Feb 1
2:00 – 6:00 PM

Imbolc marks the first awakenings of Spring — the subtle turning of the season, the return of warmth, and the quiet beginning of new life.

You’re invited to a four-hour Rite of Union: a seasonal ceremony devoted to honoring the Earth’s cycles and our human need for ritual, belonging, and clean turning. Experience a Rite of Union with the Earth, the returning light, ourselves, and one another.

When we consciously mark the seasons in this way, we create space to complete cycles, move through change with more ease, and invite more joy, warmth, and aliveness into our lives. This is part of being human and part of living in balance with the Earth.
