Imbolc Feast for the Senses (Sauna, Myth, Magic and Ritual)

We welcome you to an immersive journey where myth, magic and ritual are infused into a restorative sauna experience.

Myth Monday storytellers Grace Church and Polly Wilson in collaboration with The Fun Fed will be leading an Imbolc Sauna Workshop to cleanse energies of old and ignite your internal fire ready to step into the spring energy with a renewed spirit, connected to the earth and your heart song. Imbolc is a time when the veil between worlds is thin, a powerful time where we can use ritual and intention to say goodbye to old stagnant energies and welcome in the freshness of spring. It is a time of celebration and renewal.

What to expect:

Participants will be led on a journey to celebrate the welcoming of the winter months, banishing the darkness of past energy and welcome in the growing light. Polly and Grace will tell a magical Imbolc myth, there’ll be offerings and sauna rituals weaved into this rich and reviving experience. Prepare to leave this evening feeling spiritually nourished, creative and connected. This is a truly wild and wacky way to relax in the sauna together!
