Sunday, 01/30/2022 @ 11:00am – 12:30pm; Imbolc
The Northeast point of the wheel is the time of Imbolc and the earth goddess, Brigid. She is the keeper of the hearth, the fire. She is also a great healer and midwife of dreaming the world anew.
It is the place on the wheel of beginning, birth, the seed. It is the promise of the return of the light, the fire, as we just start to notice the days growing longer. We will share the legend and lore of Brigid and will guide you on shamanic journey to Brigid to learn her wisdom, with a shamanic ceremony to conclude the evening.
Cost: $45 per person

Sunday, 03/20/2022 @ 11:30am – 1:00pm; Spring Equinox
As we continue to walk the spiral around the Wheel of the Sun, we turn to the East, the Spring Equinox.
It is in the East, the place of the rising sun, where one glimpses new destinies, and the birth of new life and dreams swirl all around us inspired by the Goddess Boann. She brings the element of water, inspiration, knowledge, creativity, and play into our lives. It is the time of a young girl growing away from her mother with endless possibilities before her, awakening to her dreams. We will weave the story of Boann and take the group on shamanic journey to connect with the wisdom and insight of Boann. A shamanic ceremony to celebrate the Spring Equinox will bring our time together to a close.

Wednesday, 09/21/2022 @ 5:30 pm – 7:00pm; Mabon
The autumnal equinox, known as Mabon, again with the spring equinox, we have a time of equal day and equal night.
The days grow shorter and the sun begins to wane in power. The purpose of celebrating the autumnal equinox is twofold, we want to give thanks for all our blessings and achievements, and second, we want to project the ability to maintain that which we possess. There is no sense to manifest a goal if you are unwilling to hold on to it.
Focus: On completion of tasks, the fruition of long-term goals, mending quarrels, receiving money owed, financial and material security.
Cost: $45 per person

Saturday, 10/29/2021 @ 5pm Start; Samhain: (10/28 – 10/30 Private Samhain event for the Invocation of the Burning Broom Coven and its Founding members).
Samhain 2022, is a private invitation-only celebration and invocation for the newly created Burning Broom Coven and its inaugural members.
It is the end of the agricultural season and the beginning of the Celtic year.
Observed as the festival of the dead; followed by the designated All Souls’ Day or All Saints’ Day. Representing a time of chaos and reversal of normal order; endings and beginnings are occurring simultaneously. Samhain was when the majority of the herd was butchered, providing food for the winter months. The slaughter, barren earth, and decreasing daylight made the concepts of death an ever-present reality. Due to this, Samhain has been considered a time when the veil between two worlds is the thinnest, a night of magic charm and divination when the dead could be easily contacted. This is time to rest and reevaluate your life and goals. Best time to rid any negativity that surrounds your achievements or hinders future progress. Samhain should have seen your accomplishments of your desires, and now is the time to stabilize and protect what you have gained. It’s impossible to concentrate, let alone put energy into a new goal if you have not secured it.
Focus: Family ancestors, looking into the past and future, protection, psychic and physical, overcoming fears of aging and mortality.

Wednesday, 12/21/2022 @ 5:30pm – 7:00; Yule, The Winter Solstice
The winter solstice is the direction of North as we spiral around the Wheel of the Year.
This is the place of the Cailleach, the crone, the place of great wisdom, and the grandmothers. As reflected by the longest night of the year, this is the place of stillness between death and rebirth. It is the great void, the unknowing, the waiting to be (re)created. We will share the ancient teachings and stories of this direction of the wheel and will guide the group in shamanic journey so that you may connect with the Cailleach that holds this point of the wheel to receive your own insight and healing, followed by a shamanic ceremony to close the evening.
Cost: $45 per person
