Autumn equinox, growth and development

After many happy years at Pollok Park, Tuatha de Bridget has made the decision to move to a new venue.  This is partly due to the changeable weather conditions (we've been rained off a couple of times in the last year and it takes a lot of rain to do that!) and partly due to the changing needs of members of the group.  We are blessed with a number of members with health conditions which on a bad day affect their mobility badly and even on a good day mean being out in the damp can result in long term detrimental effects to their health.

Our Autumn equinox ritual on Sunday 21st September was therefore the first to be held in our new venue, The Old Barn.  The Old Barn is on the outskirts of Pollok Park and you have to walk through the stables to get to it and it's a lovely flexible venue.  It has an outdoor area, covered and sheltered are and a fully indoor aspect.

We were blessed with beautiful sunshine for our autumn equinox ritual which had a strong focus on peace as it was also the United Nations World Peace Day.  All present found it to be a lovely venue and a wonderful atmosphere. We look forward to many other rituals there and who knows, maybe workshops in the future too.

After the ritual there was a meeting and food brought by those gathered shared in the indoor area of the Old Barn.  The meeting was to discuss putting the group onto a slightly more formal footing as with increased costs we would now need to open a bank account for the group.  The meeting went well and developments for our future are now well underway.

Our next meeting will be to celebrate the time of Samhain and will take place on Sunday 2 November at The Old Barn starting at 1 pm.  Hope to see you there.
