As the chill of winter begins to wane and the first signs of spring emerge, the Celtic festival of Imbolc offers a time for renewal, reflection, and hope. Observed traditionally on February 1st or 2nd, Imbolc marks the midway point between the winter solstice and the spring equinox, a celebration of the stirring of life beneath the surface of the earth.

On the longest night and shortest day of the year in the Western Hemisphere—the Winter Solstice—we traditionally celebrate the return of the light. From this point forward, the days gradually lengthen, and we are gifted with more sunlight. It’s a time when themes of hope, growth, and potential come to the forefront. A beautiful opportunity to look to the horizon and dream.
