Rev. Suzelle Lynch with
Ruben Piirainen, Music Director
Reparations are broadly understood as compensation given for an abuse or injury. Even more so, they are a process of repairing, healing and restoring a people injured because of their group identity and in violation of their fundamental human rights. They are a demand for justice and a principle of international human rights law. But beyond advocating for large-scale reparations enacted by government, we, too, can be part of making reparations.

"Imbolc – Life is Stirring, Hope is Waking"
|
|

|
Rev. Suzelle Lynch and the EarthSpirit Team, with Jen Nicolosi, Lead Director of Music Director, and Natalie Fleury, Special Musician
The earth-centered holiday of Imbolc is a time of celebration, and ritual, often including Brigit, the goddess of the hearth. It’s also a time of purification and new beginnings – “the first stirring of seeds” in the winter earth. Hope is waking – let’s celebrate!
