Imbolc
February 1st
Imbolc (im-bulk), meaning "in the belly", takes place midway between Yule and Ostara. This, the first of the Fire festivals, is the time of the year when our days are becoming visibly longer as the Sun spends more and more time in the sky with each passing day. At this time we can feel new life stirring “in the belly” of Mother Earth as we see the first faint green touches of Spring shyly peaking forth from the cold ground. Imbolc, also known as Oiemelc or "ewes milk", celebrates the first lactation of the ewes signifying the beginning of the lambing season and considered by ancient agrarian cultures as the first sign of the coming spring...

Baba Yaga- Reclaiming the Wild Woman Heart
With Mara Clear Spring

*pre registration suggested*
*5:30pm doors close and the Circle is Cast Please Arrive Early*
Arrive by 5pm to get smudged by Mara!
She is coming out of the Forest to Ocean Beach!
There is a knowing that lives beneath conditioning.
A voice older than politeness.
A wisdom that does not ask permission.
On this winter evening, we gather in our Sacred Shamanic Goddess Circle to meet Baba Yaga, the fierce, initiatory grandmother of the forest who does not coddle…but awakens.
Baba Yaga does not call. She arrives for women who are ready to stop outsourcing their truth.
Who ache to trust themselves again.
Who suffer the tension between what they know and what they’ve been taught to ignore.
What We’ll Explore Together
Through shamanic journey, ritual, and embodied circle work, Baba Yaga will help us:
• Strip away false instincts learned through pleasing, shrinking, or doubting
• Restore your feminine intuition as a living, trustworthy compass
• Rediscover your Wild Woman Heart: raw, wise, and unapologetically alive
This is not about becoming Wise.
You already are.
This is about remembering.
Please Bring Your “Vasilisa” Doll
In the old stories, Vasilisa carries a doll infused with ancestral wisdom, one that whispers guidance when she learns to ask for help and listen.
For this circle, please bring a small doll, figure, or handmade object to serve as your Vasilisa doll. And/Or You are also warmly invited to bring a generational or ancestral item, perhaps a piece of jewelry, a scarf, a button, or another small object that carries the presence of the women who came before you.
Together, these items will become ritual anchors, linking instinct, intuition, and lineage, helping you root your reclaimed Wild Woman Heart not only in your own body, but in the long remembering of feminine wisdom that flows through your bloodline.
Nothing fancy is required. What matters is resonance, not perfection.
Who this Circle is For
This gathering is for women who:
• Feel a quiet (or not-so-quiet) rebellion stirring within
• Are tired of second-guessing their intuition
• Sense they are standing at the edge of a deeper self-trust
• Are ready to walk with their inner wildness instead of fearing it
Baba Yaga does not come gently. But she comes honestly, and she gives back your bones polished with truth.
Come sit by the fire. Come remember who you were before the world told you otherwise.
Come reclaim your Wild Woman Heart.
