Crafting the Wheel of the Year: A Seasonal Journey of Creativity and Connection
A workshop with Deb Bowen – Based on her book with Claire Gelder

Based on Crafting the Wheel of the Year, by Claire Gelder and Deb Bowen, Deb invites participants in this workshop to explore ways in which they can more deeply connect to the natural world and Mother Earth’s gifts, and better understand the history, cultural, and spiritual aspects of the spinning seasons. While we think of a year as having four seasonal holidays, ancient agrarian cultures celebrate eight. Four cross-quarter days mark the midpoint between the four solar holidays of the shifting seasons and we will explore these eight holidays that mark the spinning of the Wheel of the Year.
Since we’re hosting this workshop at Imbolc, we will start there, then move to Ostara, Beltane, Litha, Lughnasadh, Mabon, Samhain, and Yule. A focus of the workshop will be offering ways in which we can more deeply connect to nature and Mother Earth’s bountiful gifts.
