EarthSpirit and Tamelin Productions invite you to a
midwinter celebration of spirit, hope, community, and the
arts
Friday Feb 3 - Sunday, Feb 5, 2012
Come listen, learn, make music, dance, shop, sing, reflect and enjoy good company.
As we share with one another, we feel the spark of life, hidden deep beneath the snows of winter, begin to glow warm within our hearts.
A Feast of Lights is a festival of community, hope, Earth spirituality, and the arts - taking place at the ancient Celtic midwinter festival of Imbolg. It brings together a wide range of teachers, performers and artists who join with all of the gathering's participants to create a celebratory, stimulating and joyful weekend to kindle the fire within, during the dark of winter.
We are excited to announce a new location this year -The Holyoke Hotel - which is just 10 miles south of our previous site in Northampton, MA. At this new site just off the highway in Holyoke, MA, we have been able to keep the registration, room and meal prices low to make it easy for you to join in this community celebration; and we've also maintained the extended program, beginning early in the afternoon on Friday and finishing later in the afternoon on Sunday, so it will be a very full weekend!

EarthSpirit Peace Jam, our teen service-learning group, will again collect clean, usable suitcases and large duffel bags or backpacks to distribute to children and teens who are in transition. Please bring in your extra bags and stop by the collection spot to talk with one of our young people about their efforts to make a difference. The teens will also be holding a bake sale to help fund their attendance at the regional Peace Jam conference this spring.
