Join Sharna Langlais, Reiki Master & Intuitive Healer, and Katie Hall, Art Therapist & Reiki Practitioner, for a three-hour immersion into ritual, healing and art therapy to celebrate Imbolc.
Imbolc is also known as Candlemas, or Brigid’s (pronounced BREED) Day. One of the 4 Celtic “Fire Festivals, it celebrates the changing of the Goddess from the Crone to the Maiden. This is the seasonal change where we see the first signs of spring and the return of the sun, and we honor the rebirth of the Sun. We celebrate the Celtic Goddess Brigid: the Goddess of Poetry, Healing, Smithcraft, and Midwifery. The building warmth and longer days fertilize the Earth (the Goddess), and cause seeds to germinate and sprout. This is a festival of light and of fertility, once marked in Europe with huge blazes, torches and fire in every form. Fire here represents our own illumination and inspiration as much as light and warmth. Imbolc is also known as Feast of Torches, Oimelc, Lupercalia, Feast of Pan, Snowdrop Festival, Feast of the Waxing Light, Brighid’s Day, and probably by many other names.
ABOUT THE WORKSHOP
The workshop will combine elements of understanding ritual and ceremony, delving more deeply into the element of fire associated with Imbolc, as well as drawing on fertility energy to manifest the new in our lives. We will also work with art therapy to create a project that symbolizes each participant’s connection to this feast day. We’ll process the energy as a group, and complete our workshop with Reiki healing by both facilitators.

Katie Hall, MA, LPCC, LPAT, ATR-BC
Katie is an artist, art therapist, and Level II Reiki practitioner. She offers art therapy and counseling services out of her private practice, Open Sky Art Therapy & Counseling, in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Katie is passionate about empowering people to build relationship with their own inner healers. She is also interested in sharing the healing potentials of expressive arts with community. She works intuitively and focuses on fostering self-compassion, awakening creativity and inner knowing, as well as guiding clients to reach a deeper understanding of self through art expression. She holds the belief that we are all artists, in that we all seek to express our authentic selves in some way, which is not always possible with the use of words. Through art making, she believes, we can access our deeper wisdom, and at the same time, find connectivity and commonality with others.
