Imbolc: the Celtic Festival of Brigid, Goddess of Fertility

  • Sunday, 2 February 2025 – 3-5pm.

In this two-hour workshop we will celebrate through movement, breath and sound, a new earth cycle at Springtime.  We will work with vocal resonance creating a sound world that resonates the sacred healing of Brigid.

When Imbolc time arrives, we celebrate the transition between the winter solstice (December) and the spring equinox (March).  All around us we see, bursting through the earth, green shoots as they bear the news that spring is on her way. It is the time when the ewe’s milk pours to feed her lamb; budding saplings laced with frozen dew melt in the warming sun; a time to celebrate the wonder and magic that graces a new earth life cycle.

Please wear warm clothes and bring with you a blanket, a yoga mat (or similar) and water.

About Anne L Ryan, the workshop leader:  In my work as an voice artist, I use sound to explore a myriad of ways to express emotion and the way of being human.  My earliest influence in singing was the Irish sean nós, an unaccompanied form of decorated singing deeply rooted in my ancient Irish ancestral heritage of The Curragh in Kildare, the home of the Goddess Brigid.  My current work, both solo and with groups, is the creation of sound works in the moment. I am a body psychotherapist, and I use sound resonation in my work.
