Did your new year's resolutions already fizzle? You have a second chance.

The ancient Celts called February 1st Imbolc (pronounced im-bolc, eem-olc, or eem-yolk), First Spring or the feast of the Goddess/Saint Brigid. It represented the return or rebirth of the Goddess, after having died to the earth at Samhain.

In this episode Kate muses on that quickening, lightness, restlessness from earth-bound hibernation, the darkness and cold of winter just starting to hint of lifting.

As we move out of hibernation, how might we respond to those new impulse to stretch, move out and DO?

Have a listen for how this might affect both your inner and outer housekeeping, plus a bonus creative offering from the Forge of St Brigid.
