Imbolc Sound Journey and Poetry Ceremony: Kindling our Inner Fire

In a nutshell:

HERE COMES THE SUN! As the light begins to warm the Earth halfway between winter solstice and spring equinox, we celebrate Celtic festival of Imbolc, an earth-based spiritual holiday and feast of the pagan goddess and Christian saint Brigid of Kildare.  (Goddess of poetry, fire, smithing, healing and more!) 

Join us for a special ceremony with a Sound Journey and poetry fusion:

• Be inspired with story and poetry about Brigid who continues to inspire with her flame—a lasting reminder of resilience, renewal, and the promise of brighter days ahead.
• Drop into a meditative sound journey that will focus on renewing our inner fire and welcoming the returning light. A variety of instruments will be used: 32" gong (The Wounded Healer), Tibetan and crystal bowls, ocean drum, thunder drum, monochord, Peruvian seed rattle, chimes and more,  on this the Celtic festival of Imbolc.
• Afterwards, we'll have time in community for journaling or writing your own poetry lines and optional sharing. 

Be the light you want to see. Fan your flame. Ignite the world with love.

About Sound Journeys: Sound journeys bathe or massage our bodies, minds and spirits with healing sounds. This can help our noisy "monkey minds" get quiet as we shift to a Theta brainwave state from our usual Beta and Alpha states. This is where we relax deeply and experience peace and healing on a cellular level. Some people report physical, emotional, mental or spiritual shifts, such as pain relief, improved sleep, sense of clarity, calm, release of tension, feeling revitalized and much more.

What to expect: Come with your intentions (desires of the heart) and openness. Know that you will be cared for and honored with my loving intentions for your highest and best. Receive deep relaxation in this thoughtfully curated session. It is different for everyone but you can expect positive effects from sound vibrations.

Need to know: Please arrive about 10 minutes before the start time so that you can prepare for the experience, and turn off your phone upon entering. Understand that late arrivals will not be admitted once the sound journey has begun, out of respect for the group's experience. If the door is closed, please do not knock and disturb the session.

Please do not wear any perfumes or cologne to this event, as some may be allergic. There may be incense, sage, palo santo or essential oils diffused in the air. Let me know in advance if you have sensitivities to any of these.

Please bring: whatever makes you comfy while lying on the hard floor for about 90 minutes: a thick yoga or camping mat, (or even better is a chaise lounge cushion), a blanket and any pillows or cushions you may want for support. I will have bolsters for leg/back support and lavender eye pillows. You are welcome to bring your own if you prefer. Let me know if you need any accommodations so that you may be comfortable. Sitting upright is possible if needed: let me know in advance if you need a floor chair or a mat to be provided.

Important: If you have any medical conditions that may be negatively impacted by sound or vibrations, please consult your health care professional before signing up. These may include pregnancy (first trimester), sound-induced epilepsy, or mental health diagnoses that may be triggered by intense sounds.

What some people are saying:

"Annmarie does an astounding job at creating a beautiful and seamless vibrational meditation through her sound bath. The sound vibration allowed me to get into and stay in a deeper meditation than I could possibly do on my own without years of meditation practice. After her sound bath I felt renewed and relaxed in a way that I haven’t felt in months."--Andee

"It was the most relaxing experience of my life!! Annmarie's sound magic made me feel like I was transformed onto a beach with the waves rolling in and out and not a care in the world. You don't just hear the sounds, you feel it. So joyful! The experience fully immersed both my mind and my body..." --Jill

Sound bath was amazing- completely immersive experience creating a meditative healing. Annmarie is a gifted maestro bringing together nature sounds, vibration and affirmations allowing a treat for the soul." --John
