We're celebrating Imbolc with a bardic circle and clootie tree! Bring a contribution to share - a story, poem, song, interpretive dance - whatever brings your heart joy. We will be sharing bardic arts and a potluck feast.
This event is inspired by Welsh eisteddfod – storytelling festivals – and performances will be the main event for the evening. By bringing a story, song, poem, piece of art, or other creative expression helps spark inspiration for the community and celebrates the gift of Awen (pure, connected inspiration). Multiple contributions are welcome. The most inspired performance of the night will be crowned the Bardic champion!
This event is hosted by Hemlock Grove, a druid and earth-based spiritual community in Southern Maine
