You are invited to immerse your creative spirit in the essence of MUSEA’s CURA Council, a 500 Year Vision for the Quantum Commons and join us for our Imbolc Moons Ceremony Cohosted by MUSEA’s founding Curate Shiloh Sophia and our Creative Doula Kathleen Brigidina.
We are stepping in with something new in 2025 with our Imbolc Moons Ceremony on February 1st.
Imbolc along with each of our 8 CURA Ceremonies this year will as always offer a sacred space of ceremony, creative intention and ritual, along with soul stirring performances by special musical guests. And new for 2025 we will be featuring Animystica’s New Creation Stories and Artwork created by MUSEA Guild members from within our very own creative community. One or more of them will join us for each ceremony to share their artwork and read from the book they created.
Together these stories are creating a layered masterpiece that tells a new story of the future we are co-creating. We are weaving the past through the Ancient myths of the Wheel celebrated by our ancestors around the world, with new stories. Together we will reflect on ancient Nature traditions while weaving a creative quest of our own to renew our deepest connection with the spirit of Nature, each other and ourselves.
Beginning with Imbolc, a cross quarter day, meaning halfway between Solstice and Equinox. Imbolc honors the Celtic Goddess and Saint Brigid. The Goddess of poetry, divination, fertility, and creativity. So this is naturally an important time to celebrate all that is being created and born within everyone in our Intentional Creative community.
Our Moons Ceremony will have a Celtic Poetic, Moon-loving flavor as we honor the timeless cycles and natural rhythms of Earth and Cosmos that interweave and unite us all across the planet, regardless of our physical location.
Imbolc, is an old Irish word meaning “in the belly” as the promise of new life is a major theme in the countryside. Celebrating our relationship in the annual cycle of life, death, and rebirth. We are united globally by the spark that inspires, illuminates, transforms, and brings forth change in the galaxies within and around us. These ceremonies give us permission to pause, set and multiply our intentions together. So please bring your intentions to our gathering.
For our Imbolc Moons Ceremony we will be joined by the artist and author Trace Shapiro from our own community.
