Imbolc is the Pagan celebration that marks the first signs of the coming spring. It is also called Brigid, after the Celtic goddess of poetry, healing, and the forge. She was honored with holy wells and sacred flames in pre-Christian Ireland, and lived on as St. Brigid when she was absorbed into Christianity. In this service led by members of CUUPS (Covenant of Unitarian Universalist Pagans), we'll explore how Imbolc embodies resilience - through the rebirth of the natural world, the goddess who adapts to survive times of suppression, and the emergence of new forms of earth-based spirituality.

From Monthly: "Embodying Resilience"

Our theme this month invites us to consider our world, our community, and our lives in the light of the practice of Embodying Resilience. What do we carry within our bodies that guides us, helps us endure, heals us, or that gets in our way? In our hearts and minds? What relationships, practices, vistas, music, art, foods, readings, or activities give us hope and strength when we are grieving or outraged, struggling or spent? Which of these can we lend or share with others? Which can we accept from others? How is resilience like and unlike renewal?
