🔥🌿Imbolc Fire Circle | Falkland Woods🌿🔥

Saturday 31st January | 11am–2pm | £55

At Imbolc, the land begins to breathe again. The frost may still lie, yet deep within the earth the first stirrings of life are underway. This is the cross-quarter festival of Brigid, the keeper of the flame, guardian of the hearth, midwife of spring.

Carys and I invite you to walk with us into Falkland Woods and gather in a circle for our annual Imbolc Fire Circle, honouring this ancient turning of the year.

We will tend the sacred fire, offering warmth and light as we sit together in stillness and reflection. You will be invited to rest in the hammock beneath the trees, gently held and cocooned. A space to soften, listen, and prepare for your own re-emergence after winter.

The woods will guide us as we slow our pace, breathe with the land, and remember the old rhythms.

🌿 Our time together will include:

🔥 A traditional fire circle honouring Imbolc

🌲 Forest bathing and quiet communion with the land

🧘‍♀️ Guided meditation for renewal and intention

🌙 Deep rest, held by the trees

🪄 Crafting your own wand, made from the woodland and infused with intention

☕ Warm drinks shared around the fire

This is a gentle, grounded gathering for those who feel the call of the seasons, the forest, and the old ways.

✨ Investment: £55

📍 Falkland Woods

📅 Sat 31st January

🕚 11am–2pm

Places are limited.

A Winter Solstice Blessing

The winter solstice is a sacred time,
infused with quiet magic and returning light.
It is a moment when the universe, in its infinite kindness,
awakens our hearts to tender and brighter possibilities,
rekindling the light of hope within our souls
as a new cycle of light slowly begins.

In this holy pause between darkness and dawn,
we are invited to release,
to loosen our grip on old patterns, heavy sorrows,
and lingering wounds that we may continue to carry.
With open hands and gentle hearts,
we step forward,
cradling the promise of brighter, more hopeful beginnings.

May all who have known loss or disappointment
find comfort in this peaceful turning.
May the light, though small at first,
guide us faithfully through the darkest days,
reminding us that even the longest night
must yield to morning.

As we give thanks for all that has nourished us,
every lesson, every kindness, every tenderness
that shaped our year,
we honor the path that brought us here.
And in gratitude,
we begin again,
walking onward with renewed hope,
gentle anticipation,
and the quiet courage
to welcome the year ahead.

The joy of Jelly ears. Jelly ears literally look like ears and these are growing happily on this dead Elder.
My first find of the season, and I am sure there will be a lot more to find on my walks.
Looking forward to seeing elf cups pop up too.

During the darker days, there can be an increase in low mood, motivation and Seasonal Affective Disorder. Spending time outside in nature can support health and wellbeing and counteract some of the side effects.
There is beauty in the darkness!

Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) is a type of depression that occurs seasonally, typically during the winter months when daylight hours are shorter. While there are various treatments available for SAD, one natural and increasingly popular method is Forest Bathing, the practice of immersing oneself
