Join us for an Imbolc gathering - an invitation to celebrate the first stirrings of the land as we shift out of winter, towards spring. The sun is slowly returning, and we awaken from our inward-turning slumber to bring fresh ideas and possibilities to the new year.
We meet outside, in a circle, and open ourselves to learn from the earth and trees, the waters and sky, and all living beings, human and more than human. This gathering will include contemplative practices, song, silent wandering, and fellowship. All are welcome and respected at Roanoke Church of the Wild. We are a diverse, LGBTQ+ affirming community and welcome all faiths and beliefs. Please join us!

To Bring:
* A folding chair or blanket to sit on.
* What you need to be comfortable. Please wear enough layers to be comfortable outside and sturdy shoes.
* Food with Seeds or Sprouts to share (optional). The seeds we planted last fall stir in the ground, eager to sprout in the coming months. What better way to celebrate than to share something with seeds in it! Locally produced items or something you made are ideal.
Carpool to reduce our impact on the earth. Please arrive 15 minutes early - it is a 5 - 10 minute walk from the parking lot to the amphitheater.
The gathering will occur regardless of weather. You are invited to join us in experiencing the natural world in all of its seasons. Please dress appropriately. There is a small pavilion onsite we can retreat to during the gathering if needed.
