As we move towards Winter Solstice, traditionally known as Yule, we are anticipating the turn of the wheel of the year towards longer days and shorter nights. As I write this we're just moving through Samhain and All Hallows Eve, which carries us into the underworld of our experience, as we honour the unseen, welcome our ancestors, release unhelpful conditioning and ancestral patterns with the falling leaves and give Gratitude for the gift of life our Ancestors have bestowed upon us.
If we are to align with Nature, this next phase is not so much a time for external pursuits, as the Sun is moving towards the weakest point of its cycle. We have an opportunity here to prepare inwardly for the return of the Sun's light, to shed any last remnants of old skins and to enjoy resting in the Silence and Stillness of the womb of this dark phase, with innocence and enthusiasm, as to what will be birthed within us as the Light returns.
Join local performance artists and myself as we explore and give a voice, through stories, poems, music and song, the theme Return Of The Light, however that resonates for each of us.
We're so excited to have 10th Bard of Northampton Paul Giffney joining us as our "Special Guest". As a Sacred Celebrant I'm sure he will have much to offer about the richness of this most celebrated festival in the wheel of the Pagan and Celtic year.
We're also delighted to debut Song Sisters Trio, Lootie Johansen Bibby (our resident musician), Lyndz Liquid Light (a regular performer at the OM) and Harriet Crockford-Creedy
Also me Raye, aka The Bendy Witch, as compere, weaving together the theme with some poems, stories and a Haiku here and there.
There'll be a refreshment included, some delicious delight and hot beverage provided and served by Debbie OM and toilet break mid way, a chance to connect and chat with like-minded folk. There's the opportunity at the end via a fun Q&A to ask the performance artists questions or share any revelations that may arise for you throughout the evening.
