Celebrating Ostara : The Celtic Wheel of The Year

The wheel has once again turned; Spring is nearly here!

We now find ourselves at the Vernal (Spring) Equinox, Ostara.

Sharing

Dr. Nicola Tannion will begin our workshop with a discussion of The Celtic Wheel and meeting the Goddess Ostara/Eostre. She’ll share some history about the blending and combining of tales and traditions, new and ancient, in the Wheel of the Year.

Storytelling

In celebration of the return of Spring and the growing light that banishes the darkness, Nicola will lead us into the Celtic Otherworld through one of her original retellings of ancient stories. She’ll warm us hearts to bones with the heat of rebirth and inspire us with hope and the call of nature to the soul.

Ritual

Once we have entered the Celtic Otherworld, Nicola will offer participants a ritual to honor the dawn of growth and the crow moon with instructions for creating an altar to work with until our next celebration.

Guided Visualization

Nicola will then lead participants through an inner visualization to meet your guide as we journey through her terrain of increasing light, new growth, and balance. We will glean essential wisdom to take with us into our upper-world lives.

We will have plenty of time to join in conversation within our sacred circle.

Please bring fresh mint or rosemary, a candle and a journal for reflections and notes.

This is the  4th Gathering to Celebrate the Celtic Wheel of the Year.
