Imbolc traditionally marks the first whisper of spring, and celebrates Brigid, the Goddess of metalsmithing – bending, shaping, and molding with fire. This morning, we’ll explore our own power to shape and remake ourselves and the world.
Share the Plate
Our Share the Plate recipient this week is Wisconsin Faith Voices for Justice, an interfaith education and advocacy organization that works to bring awareness and advocate for systemic changes addressing the root causes of poverty, racial inequity, and social injustices in our state. Their programs have included interfaith community building, the Dane Sanctuary Coalition and poverty simulations.
