This month, join us for a special edition of Community Day facilitated by Eyal Amiel in honor of Imbolc. RSVP is requested. All are welcome!
Community Day is our day to come together and collaborate on a work project here at Rootstock. Many hands have built this amazing temple and many hands are needed to tend and steward it and, together, we’ll work on a project.
Imbolc is a traditional Gaelic celebration commemorating the midpoint between the Winter Solstice and the Vernal Equinox. Historically associated with the agricultural “lambing season”, this celebration is often dedicated the Goddess Brigid, and is a celebration of the “promise of Spring”. In this ceremony we will honor many of these elements and explore what the Spring season means to us and renew promises to ourselves as we set intentions around what growth we wish to cultivate in the fertile seasons to come.
Plan to arrive between 9:50-10am so we can introduce ourselves and orient to our project for the day. Children are welcome and no skills or tools are necessary to participate! Folks of all ages and abilities
Offerings of tea, chocolate, or beeswax candles for the Community Cabin are welcome and appreciated but not required and any snacks or finger food that you want to enjoy or share. Please do not bring food that requires heating, cooking, or utensils.
Bring a water bottle and dress for the elements! Community Day happens rain or shine, snow or sleet. We recommend work gloves and some warm, dry layers if the temps are cold.
All people are welcome! Leave your doggies at home! The cats of Rootstock appreciate our dog-free campus so thank you for bringing your friends and your kids and leaving your four legged at home.
Rootstock’s Moon Circle for women happens the night before Community Day and, if you’re a woman and want to join us for circle and spend the night, that’s an option!
Our amazing wood-fired bathhouse, The Oasis, fires up on Sunday afternoons and, if you’d like to stay for a soak following our work together, you can check here for availability!
We’d love for you to arrive on time so that we can enjoy proper introductions and an orientation to the project we’ll be doing together but, life happens, and you’re welcome to show up for any part of this gathering.
Donations made to the Rootstock Medicine Fund support the land and its steward as well as support access to the healing work that happens here. You will receive a confirmation email with details on when to arrive, where to park, and where to meet.
