Imbolc Ritual- A practice for kindling your creative spark

 After a long winter the time for the season’s turning is upon us. The days are slowly lengthening, we are emerging from the dark cycle of the year and moving towards the light. Life in the land is beginning to stir and new possibilities are starting to unfurl.Imbolc, the ancient Celtic festival, celebrates this beginning of Spring. Marked at the new moon on the 31st January/ 1st February, it is a time to welcome this turning. Imbolc derives it’s name from the Irish, ‘i mbolg’, meaning ‘in the belly’, which in turn relates to birthing season, as the soon to be born lambs are growing in their mother’s bellies.As we cross the threshold from one season to the next, we are witnessing a re-awakening in the landscape. Imbolc also gives us pause to notice the stirrings in our own internal landscape- what’s in our bellies and what ideas want to germinate or be kindled. It also gives us a chance to ask the nurturing and supportive questions of ‘how can this fire be tended’ and 'how can the inner creative stirrings be harnessed'.To support you I have designed an Imbolc Ritual to guide you towards your inner stirrings and your creative potential.

The ritual  includes some breathing and meditative practice, and also encourages us all to do a bit of spring cleaning- internally and externally, so we can make space for fresh possibilities. It also includes some tools and practices for nurturing your creative ideas until they are strong enough to be planted into the wide open world! (This 'greenhousing' idea has totally shifted how I ask for feedback for my ideas)I have recorded a short video to tell you more (click on my mug shot here to view!) The guide is a prelude to the Spring Edition of Living Seasonally, which starts this coming Saturday, 3rd Feb. So, if you have new ideas stirring and you want some time and space to explore them, then Living Seasonally is for you. Plus, it’s a lovely thing which I pour my heart and soul into. Every day I record fresh videos and I am active on the forum- so it is not a plug and play course, but a responsive and facilitated one, evolving as I learn from each participant.You can find out more and sign up here. Thank you so much all, as always.Clare xPS. If you are joining the course, can I encourage you to sign up sooner rather than waiting until Friday please. That way I’ll have a better sense of numbers… and this really helps. Thank you!
