SSP’s Imbolg/Imbolc Cross-Quarter Celtic Holiday Ceremony

THE CELTIC FESTIVAL OF IMBOLG(IMBOLC)

Join SSP Board Member Jaime Meyer for our next Cross-Quarter Celtic Holidays Ceremony, Imbolg on Sunday, February 1st, 2026.

Imbolg (also Imbolc) is the the Celtic Festival of Spring and like all Irish indigenous celebrations is a transition, an initiation, a gateway and a celebration. Traditionally, January 31st – February 1st is chosen to gather in community to embrace the energies of Imbolg, although a new national holiday to honour Brigid, Goddess and Matron Saint of Ireland on February 6th ushers in a celebratory week. The word Imbolg translates as ‘in the belly’ inspired by the swollen bellies of our pregnant animals at this time of the year. Bríde, Brigid in Irish Gaelic, is the great divine female archetype of Spring. From her, shamans with Celtic soul will draw the inspiration to live as caretaker, of self, of community and of the land. Fires in her honour are lit and Wells in her name are visited, cleaned and tasted.

This is a deeply special time to awaken potential and prepare for graceful and full expression of what has been gestating in the belly of your soul through the dark Winter months. We are delighted to offer you a unique opportunity to join us online from your home for ceremony to lift you into harmony with the rising sap of Spring with some of the many wonderful rituals associated with Bríd, Imbolg and the arrival of Springtime.

This is ceremony is pre-recorded and the link will be sent to members on Sunday, February 1st

HOW TO PREPARE

Create sacred ceremonial space in a quiet place where you will not be disturbed by other people or loud noises. You may want to make a small altar, light a candle and/or have your drum, and rattle available, as well as paper and pen. Darken your room if possible and allow yourself to be fully present
