Wheel of the Year Calendar
We honor the seasons and our connection to Earth and the Cosmos. In the spirit of Bridget and guided by the Celtic Wheel of the Year, we welcome seasonal traditions from all cultures and celebrate our shared human relationship with the planet.
We’re working hard to begin building renovations so we can better host educational programs and events. If you—or someone you know—would like to support our mission and vision, please contact us or donate.
The following listed dates are when these seasons are traditionally celebrated. Stay tuned for updates on specific date and time for our future events.
February 1-March 20 - Imbolc / St. Bridget’s Feast Day
We celebrate the stirring of Spring and the return of sunlight. It is also the day celebrating Bridget and all that she represents: the Healer, the Poet and the Blacksmith.
March 21-April 30 - Ostara / Easter / Spring Equinox
We celebrate the return of Spring, awakening, rebirth, fertility, and new life emerging. This time of year marks the half-way point between Winter and Summer Solstices, and the balancing of sunlight and darkness.
May 1-June 20 - Beltaine / May Day / International Worker’s Day
We celebrate the peak of Spring and the stirrings of Summer, new life, fertility, abundance, and the sacred union of masculine and feminine energies, Earth and Sky. It is a meaningful time to honor and celebrate the contributions of the working class.
June 21-July 31 - Litha / Summer Solstice
We celebrate the light, fire and power of the sun and all it does to sustain life. It reminds us how vital the darkness truly is, cooling down a raging heat. This day marks the most amount of sunlight throughout the year, bringing plants into peak growing season. It’s a time of turning outward, gathering with friends and loved ones, and living into the expression of one’s ambitions.
August 1-September 20 - Lammas / Lughnasadh
We celebrate the kickoff to Ireland’s version of Thanksgiving season. We celebrate Gratitude and abundance as the planting season comes to an end and harvest season begins. This day traditionally honors the Celtic god, Lugh, often presented as the counterpart to goddess Bridget.
September 21-October 31 - Mabon / Fall Equinox
We celebrate gratitude for the second harvest, Nature’s bounty and abundance. This day marks the halfway point between Summer and Winter Solstices.
November 1-December 20 - Samhain / All Soul’s Day '/ Dia de los Muertos
We celebrate the Celtic New Year, honor our ancestors, and prepare for the returning darkness of Winter.
December 21-January 31 - Yule / Winter Solstice / Christmas / Hanukkah / Kwanza
We celebrate the darkness and how it reminds us of how vital the light truly is, bringing warmth to the freezing cold. This day marks the least amount of sunlight through the year as the plants and animals are in their dormancy. Beyond usual social events, it's a time to rest, turning inward to dream about and plan for the year ahead.
Imbolc / Bridget’s Feast Day / Snow Moon Luminary Hike
Traditionally Imbolc [an ancient Celtic festival to honor the mid point between winter solstice and the spring eqinox], can be celebrated with candle lighting, spring cleaning, starting seedlings, and crafting Brigid’s crosses. At Bridget Center we welcome Imbolc and Bridget’s Day with a Full Snow Moon hike in collaboration with our partners from Saron Sophia!
Hikes and activities - Luminary lit trails allow you to connect with nature in the twilight hours under the energy of the full moon. This Snow Moon event includes other activities, such as guided sylvotherapy/forest bathing tours, focused on 'endurance', to match the moon's special energy.
Join us for a luminary hike under the full Snow Moon on February 1st from 4:30-6:30pm at Bridget Center (N9003 Townline Rd, Kewaskum, WI 53040). There will be a campfire going with hot N.A. beverages nearby.
