Homage to Imbolc

the pagan festival of Imbolc, on February 2nd,
is a Celtic celebration of the midpoint
between Winter Solstice & Spring Equinox
symbolising purification, renewal,
& the first stirrings of spring:
it is often in honour of the goddess Brigid

CULTURAL PICKS from the studio
we find spiritual scaffolding invaluable –
supporting us in being the most authentic expression
of our unique selves, and contributing to the benefit of all…

exponents of Love, Compassion, Kindness, Authenticity
* tv – Queer Eye the kindest most compassionate support enabling people to reconnect with their true self, so touching to see people blossom when they are seen and heard, and the permission field to be who they truly are is honoured wholeheartedly (on Netflix)
* online videos – The Psychoanalysis: precious information in restored archival film material featuring Carl Jung – for adventurers who wish to “uncover the unconscious, face the shadow, awaken their true self”….and you might wish to be aware that Jung’s voice here is AI generated, and content may not be accurate: as in reflecting what Jung actually wrote.

a life-enhancing, active, embodied practice

it is powerful to say out loud exactly what you are grateful for;
writing these things down is also empowering….
realising, making real, not simply
conceptual knowing….

we are grateful for (to name a few)
technology, the hand made, friendship, acknolwedgement, peace zones, our
local park, the birds in the yard, neighbourhood community, sangha friends, fresh
water, altered states, the generosity of strangers…

thank you kindly for visiting
we trust something here
