Imbolc News 2025

Warm greetings to you at this threshold time of Imbolc in the Northern Hemisphere, where we begin to welcome the idea of Spring and its promise of rebirth 🌱 It’s evident this year that it coincides with a chaotic cycle of change, where so much has become unpredictable. How are you doing? I hope this message finds you focusing on the positive in your daily life, enjoying the sound of the wind through the trees, a steaming cup of tea on a chilly day, a hot meal, a colorful sunset, or the laughter of a loved one. 

The last time I wrote to you was at a Winter Solstice, when I wrote about sitting with the darkness. I sat with the dark for quite some time—observing it, learning it, becoming it, understanding its manifestations in our world. Although I chose to sit with the dark and understand it, the journey through it had its own plan for me. Spurred by the wars, injustices, and dishonesty in the world, I traversed many forms of hopelessness and loss of faith—some angry, some grieving, some numb. I imagine many of you have experienced a similar path of darkness during loss or deeply challenging times in your own lives.

With each step through the darkness, the journey wanted to teach me something about what is needed in our world—a knowing that the atrocities of one human must be acknowledged as being possible in every human, even ourselves; the realization that the energy that we put forth in the world will come back to us again and again—negativity begets negativity, violence begets violence, joy creates joy, etc.; the pervasiveness of each human’s need for superiority (even spiritual/“awakened" superiority) and the destruction that it brings; the importance that exchanging creative energy has for our existence and prosperity; and the necessity of reminding people what a positive difference they can make with their thoughts, actions, and words. I hope to be sharing more about these things to the degree that I can through writing, inspiration, and healing. 

I am open to taking clients again, remotely. Sessions include bringing through answers and guidance to questions about your life now (Life Questions), bringing inspiration that can accompany you through a change process (new job, home, birthday etc.) (Gateway Readings), facilitating healing and empowerment for you (Whole Soul Balancing), and bringing balance to the energy of your living spaces (Home and Nature Rebalancing). All descriptions will soon be posted to my healing practice web site. I hope you’ll book a session, reach out to me, or reach for my writing.

My newsletters and blog will be hosted through Ghost from now on. I hope to add more content giving inspiration and hope, and maybe challenging us to think and feel more deeply so we can create something new, vibrant, and sustaining out of this chaos. More updates on that soon.

Blessings to you and your loved ones as we move into this year of challenge and, I hope, inspiration ✨

Warmly,
Kathryn
