January 31st: Imbolc, the quiet threshold of early spring
Imbolc is the ancient Celtic name for the threshold to spring, the moment when the first stirrings of new life begin to move beneath the surface. Even though we can’t yet see the appearence of new life, we sense it is on the move with the longer days, the chickadees singing and the sap rising.
After moving slowly through the weeks following Solstice—putting last year to rest, setting down what no longer needs to be carried, and listening for what wants to emerge next—I’m feeling called to host a small, intimate Imbolc gathering. This will be a simple, heart-centered time to come together, tend the Resilient Spirit hearth, and listen deeply for what is just beginning to stir in the depths, without rushing to clarity. Rather than launching something new, this gathering honors the wisdom of the season: staying close to the listening, trusting the timing, and gently tending the tender signs of new life emerging within us as spring begins to trickle in.
The arc of the day will take us through opening ceremony, creating an altar, guided breathwork, guided meditation journey, and fire ceremony. We will enjoy a beautiful, simple lunch with time connect to one another. No experience necessary, just a warm heart.

What People are saying about their Retreat:
I am grateful for all the joy, resilience, love, community, sharing, insights, wisdom and commitment to ourselves and others Amy brings into our hearts and to the Earth. It is such a warming, grounded experience to be with in circle with her. -Lori
As we moved through the day, I found myself feeling safe and relaxed. And after the floss breathing exercise the tension I've carried in my chest since my partner died seemed to vanish. When I notice it returning I now stop and breathe and it soon dissipates. Such a wonderful gift! -SY
Amy's retreats provide an incredibly valuable touchstone in our chaotic times. They're a chance to meet like-minded people I might not otherwise know, connect with myself in a supportive environment, and learn about the turnings of nature in a way that feels grounding. -KM
These retreats are helping me build community and feel connected to other folks who have the same or similar values and concerns. The acceptance of where we are is tempering my internal resistance and allowing me to take steps on a more spiritual and sacred path toward what I want to manifest into the world. Maybe some of that could help someone else? - SR
The retreat was a beautiful gathering of inquiring and nurturing souls. The introductions at the beginning made me aware that I am in community with others on this path and that there is room for different directions and understandings. The fire ceremony was a great closer, but also highlighted the work I want to continue to pursue and deepen my understanding. -CM
Amy's retreat will empower you with an "excuse" or motivation kinder and more compassionate, it will offer you tools and frameworks of thinking to help you navigate the difficult times that we live in. It will remind you of the values that are worth upholding (and not surprisingly, those same ones that give us meaning and fulfillment) during a time of quite rapid dissolution of value systems and networks of support. You will walk away refreshed and grounded. -PB
Growing, deepening, freeing, in a safe setting with a community of impressive people. -DF
Gathering in the safe shelter of an old barn, sharing personal vulnerabilities, learning the ancient ways of all levels of nature, sends us back into the current world, strengthened and embraced by humanity at its best. -DS
