Join us for a sacred Imbolc Gathering on Sunday, 1st February 2026, from 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM, held in the beautiful woodland setting of Forest Harvest, Yoxall, Staffordshire.https://www.orarosetemple.com/event-details/imbolc-gathering-first-stirrings-of-spring-2
Imbolc is a lunar festival of gentle awakening, marking the first stirrings of spring beneath the soil and the quiet return of the light. This gathering honours Goddess Brigid and Persephone, weaving together fire and water, descent and return, and the tender threshold between winter and renewal.
We will work with the colours Green, White, and Orange, calling in energies of growth, purity, and creative life force. Together we honour the Eternal Flame and the Sacred Wells, embracing Imbolc as a Fire and Water Festival, where flame meets flow and the soul is invited to bloom softly, in its own time. You are welcome to bring things for the altar or our sacred spaces artwork, flowers, herbs etc.
🌿 New for This Year – The Book of Light 🌿
New for this year, each Gathering will include a Book of Light Chapter, offered as a downloadable PDF. Each chapter will hold sacred information about the festival we are celebrating, including its symbols, energies, allies, and spiritual themes, allowing you to deepen your connection before, during, and after our time together. These chapters are designed as living companions to the gatherings — something you can return to, reflect with, and weave into your own practice.
