The inspirational energy of Imbolc is flowing.

To me, Imbolc is not the awakening or the sure footed first step into spring. I feel this time as a liminal space, the crossing between two worlds.

Shifting light and shadows.

As we move between these two seasons, winter and spring, so we move between directions on the medicine wheel, North and East. The end of one cycle into the beginning of a new one. Night into day.

But there is this space between the two, this liminal space, where the darkness of the night lingers and the cold winds of the Winter still whip around you yet there is this awareness of the light returning, the days coming a little longer, the sun gifting a little more warmth to your skin some days.

It’s as the time when you wake from sleep before you have opened your eyes, when you become aware of your physical reality but you longer still in your dreams.

One of my favourite stories of the Cailleach, whose energy rules over Winter, and Bride, whose energy blesses the Spring is one in which Bride is born from the Cailleach’s dreams as she wearies and rests near the end of Winter.

This is the energy of Imbolc to me. Not rushing forwards, but gathering energy around the dreams we bring out of winter, letting inspiration flow and intention form before action.

So, to indulge in that energy, I want to invite you to join me for a herbal immersion with Mugwort, herb of dreams.

We Saturday 10th February as we move into a new lunar cycle, 7:30 - 9:30pm at beautiful Lila Yoga, with a circle to open our month of dreaming.

We will mindfully taste a mugwort infusion, talk of and learn her medicine, and take a meditative shamanic journey with her energy.

You will receive herbs to work with at home over the course of next 4 weeks to deepen your personal connection to Mugwort. You’ll have access to a closed group for sharing your stories and experiences and asking any questions throughout this time, and we will meet again in circle Saturday March 9th to share together and close the immersion.

Exchange is £120 for both circles, herbs, and support throughout.
