#livingwithsad

For the pagan celebration Imbolc, the Wintering Well Collective met and read poems, wrote our transformative intentions with witness, and set fire to them in a pathway of light as we head towards the spring. 🔥☀️. Everyone discussing the power and magic of outdoor ritual. #LivingwithSAD

The grey start belies the joyful significance of the day.

Winter solstice 2025 🔥☀️

We are the furthest from the sun in the northern hemisphere, but start to turn again towards its light.
