Squabble Up We Deserve It All Last Week in the Grove
Reclaim lost history, sacred traditions, and your space in the universe we deserve it all
For centuries, narratives of exclusion and disempowerment have shaped our spiritual and social landscapes. The Church’s historical erasure of LGBTQ+ individuals has perpetuated the misconception that homosexuality was always condemned, obscuring a rich history of inclusivity and same-sex unions once blessed by the Church. Simultaneously, the sacred traditions of holidays like Imbolc—celebrating renewal, creativity, and the blessings of Brigid—have been forgotten by many, leaving people disconnected from their spiritual roots. Beyond these, systemic oppression and artificial scarcity have led individuals to feel powerless and unworthy of abundance.
The solution lies in reclaiming what was lost: uncovering the hidden histories of faith and sexuality, honoring sacred traditions like Imbolc, and rejecting scarcity narratives by embracing cosmic hospitality and humility. By claiming our rightful space in the universe, inviting Brigid’s blessings into our homes, and fostering rituals of renewal and creativity, we can find empowerment, purpose, and community.
Join us as we reflect on what happened last week in the grove January 20th through January 26th:
