CELTIC FESTIVALS AT ANAM CARA
The Anam Cara family is committed to coming back into harmony with the cycles and seasons. One of the ways that we seek to do this is through celebrating the different seasonal milestones throughout the Wheel of the Year.
Those of us with Celtic ancestry have been exploring the Gaelic festivals of the solstices, equinoxes and cross-quarter sabbaths for some years. However, we acknowledge that here in on different Country, the elements and timings of these festivals may need to change and grow into something that fits this great southern land. Perhaps in collaboration with other traditions. There is much weaving that needs to happen to take us into a New World, and creating new festivals that align with the cycles and seasons of this particular place is a core part of the bridging time we find ourselves in.
We invite co-creation with others to explore and host these festivals here at Anam Cara. As these rituals and celebrations take form over the years, we envisage that there will eventually be a retreat associated with each festival, so we may journey the lessons and rites of passage that each seasonal portal offers to us.
