Imbolc, the first festival of the pagan Wheel of the Year, marks the beginning of spring and celebrates new growth. Using natural elements, we’ll create mandalas to help clarify what new energy we want to embrace going forward in 2025 for self-care and movement towards our personal goals, and what we want to release–whether a negative attitude, worries, or actions that no longer serve us. All materials provided.

This workshop is most appropriate for adults/young adults as it deals with self-exploration motifs.

Registration required–limited to 10 participants. Sign-up in the Administration Office or by emailing Elaine at admininstrator@uuamherst.org.
