FEAST - January 2026

On the 15th of January, we gathered in Carmarthen to break bread, but also to do something deeper: to share love for our community, to honour traditions, and to create new ones together. We came together to keep one another company through the winter, and to step into the new year side by side. 

There was singing, and dancing, and we welcomed the Mari Lwyd through the door. We listened to poetry, to wonderful musicians, and we raised our voices together, holding a shared wish to remain connected through the dark times. In a symbolic act, we let go of what no longer serves us and set intentions for the year ahead. 

This beautiful communal space became both a beginning and a catalyst. It reminded us that meaningful work and radical change do not arrive from elsewhere but, from us, from our friends, neighbours, and colleagues. From shared tables, shared songs, and shared courage. 

This Feast was just the start. 

Expect more gatherings, more reflection, and more moments of coming together.
