Bridget's Festival / Imbolc Retreat

The New York Hudson Valley and Vermont Ceile De groups are holding their 2018 Bridget's Festival Retreat at Stone Church Center in Bellows Falls, Vermont. If you are a member of the Caim, you are invited to join us!

For the past three years, we have enjoyed great food and fellowship, told the story of Bridget around the circle, made Bridget Crosses, and prepared and experienced the Bridget ceremony.

We will enjoy the hospitality of Stone Church Center which is on almost seven acres of land on a hill above the main square of the village. The property includes the granite, gothic Immanuel Episcopal Church, the Retreat House for residential guests built in the early 1800's, and conference rooms in Currier Hall.

Accommodations and Travel: The Retreat House sleeps up to 10 people and three to four more can stay in Currier Hall. If you wish to stay at a local Bed and Breakfast, please choose the commuter option. The retreat center has negotiated special prices at a local B&B:  The Harvest Barn Inn ($10 less than the going rate per night). Ask for the "Stone Church Arts rate".
