Imbolc: Threshold of Awakening | Celtic Wheel of The Year

There's a moment when you realize waiting has started to cost you something. The old pattern still works, technically. But something in your chest knows the window is closing.

In this first episode of an eight-part series, Nina Hirlaender OFS introduces The Soul's Eight Thresholds of Transformation—a framework drawn from the Celtic Wheel of the Year that maps the inner seasons every seeker moves through. This episode explores Imbolc, the threshold of awakening: that quiet moment when change has already decided to arrive, even though nothing on the surface looks different yet. Nina takes you inside the stone circle at Stonehenge at sunrise, shares the wisdom of Teresa of Avila on humility and self-knowledge, and offers a grounded five-minute practice to help you take a step toward what's trying to begin in you.

This is also a personal invitation. After fifteen years of guiding pilgrims through England's sacred landscapes, Nina announces that May 2026 will be the final Celtic Shamanism in England pilgrimage. If you've felt the pull toward this journey, the window is open—for now.
