Imbolc is a time of promises to come from the Earth—the promise of light, the promise of warmth, the promise of growth, and through growth, sustenance. This year’s Imbolc will be celebrated with an Egyptian execration. Doors open at 6; doors will close and the pre-ritual discussion will begin at 7pm. There will be a potluck supper following the ritual so please bring a dish to share. We’ll supply cups, plates, eating utensils and beverages. All adults are welcome, no experience is necessary.
Date: Friday, Jan 31, 2020, 7 PM
Location:The Unitarian Church of Marlboro and Hudson, 80 Main St., Hudson, MA

Join us as we welcome the growing light of mid-winter in a Imbolc ritual honoring Hestia. We will ask for her purification and blessings as we cleanse ourselves of the obstacles in our lives. The members of Moon Circle – a CUUPS chapter group from the Unitarian Church of Marlboro and Hudson – and the Society of Elder Faiths are jointly offering this circle for all who are looking to celebrate the return of longer days and shorter nights, even as we make our way through snow and slush.

Imbolc is a time of promises to come from the earth—the promise of warmth, the promise of light, the promise of growth and through growth, sustenance. Come and renew your spirit as we ask Hestia for her blessings. On Friday, February 1, doors open at 6pm, doors will close and the pre-ritual discussion will begin at 7 PM. There will be a potluck supper following the ritual, so please bring a dish to share. We’ll supply cups, plates, eating utensils and beverages. (No alcohol please). All adults are welcome; no experience is necessary.
