PUUF CUUPS performs their Imbolc ritual. Observed on the night of January 31st into February 1st, 2026, Imbolc (IM-bolk or IM-olk) is the Celtic threshold where winter’s deep stillness feels its first soft stirring of life. It is the quickening in the belly of the earth, the faint pulse beneath frost and stone, the moment when the year inhales before it is ready to exhale spring. This is the holy tide of Brigid of the bright hearth, of healing wells and ringing hammers, of poems that arrive like sparks in the dark. At Imbolc we honor the light returning, the milk of ewes swelling, the seeds ready to burst forth into the sunlight. We stand between seasons, with one foot in the long night, the other in the dawn, and we listen for the whisper of what seeks to be born in us.
We are meeting in person at the First Presbyterian Church of Astoria. The service will also be live-streamed via Zoom for those who are not comfortable attending in person. Masks are now optional but strongly advised. If you are not feeling well, please wear a mask, or attend via Zoom.
Child Care Is Provided.
Join us for Coffee Hour after the service in Fellowship Hall!
