Welcoming Back the Light Join us for a gentle, hands‑on celebration of this turning of the year.
Imbolc marks the halfway point between winter and spring — a moment of quiet awakening in the Celtic seasonal calendar. The days grow a little longer, birdsong returns, and the first shoots of snowdrops and crocuses hint at the life to come.
Join us for a gentle, hands‑on celebration of this turning of the year.
• Tend the garden and sow wildflower seeds
• Notice the early signs of spring
• Gather indoors to craft your own beeswax candle to take home and light
A simple, hopeful ritual to welcome back the returning light.
This session is part of the Community Roots programme, funded by the Know Your Neighbourhood Project.
