SUMMARY:Imbolc: Celebrating a Seasonal Shift
DESCRIPTION:“New growth happens\, not in spite of autumn & winter\, but because of autumn & winter.”  -Brigit Anna McnillImbolc is an old Celtic festival that marks an energy shift as autumn and winter’s decay begin to feed new life.  Join basketmaker and funerary artisan Michael Marie to celebrate the everchanging seasons. Attendees are invited to weave a Cros Bhríde of willow or rush. This is an old Irish tradition tied to the Celtic goddess and Catholic patron saint Brigit\, two figures forever intertwined in lore and history.  The weavings are traditionally hung on rafters or doorways to bring good luck for the oncoming year. In the spirit of this seasonal shift\, we will also have resources on different end-of-life options that enable our own death and decay to be life-giving than conventional options.  Learn about body and organ donation\, natural burial\, upcoming alternatives to cremation\,  alternatives to products made overseas\, and more.  This event is open to all!  Bring a dish to share if able (pot-luck style) and come chat\, weave\, and hang out with new friends.  Weaving will ongoing throughout and begin at ~5:30 pm
