Embrace the sacred power of the crossroads with our Hecate Brunch — a gathering to honor transformation, intuition, and the mysteries within.

Hecate, ancient goddess of the moon, magic, and liminal spaces, guides us through moments of choice, transition, and deep inner knowing. She walks with us in the twilight places — where day meets night, where what was meets what will be, where light and shadow dance in sacred balance. In her presence, we are invited to embrace all parts of ourselves: the seen and unseen, the light and the shadow, the known and the mysterious.

This month, as we come together in community, we will honor Hecate’s role as guardian of thresholds — those pivotal points in life where transformation is possible. We gather not to fear the darkness, but to welcome its wisdom, to listen deeply to our intuition, and to find strength in surrender and trust. Through shared stories, ritual offerings, and intentional presence, we create a container for reflection, release, and renewal.

Bring a dish to share and a personal altar offering — perhaps keys symbolizing new beginnings, herbs like mugwort or lavender for clarity and protection, or talismans that guide your path. Feel free to dress in flowing, moon-inspired colors — silvers, deep purples, midnight blues, or soft velvets — to connect with Hecate’s timeless magic.

Whether you come to connect with like-minded women or simply to share in sisterhood, this brunch offers a sacred pause — a chance to slow down, reconnect, and honor the deep magic of transformation within us all.

Come as you are. Bring your whole self. Leave feeling seen, held, and nourished.

What These Gatherings Are

These brunches are not formal women’s circles or spiritual workshops. There’s no pressure to share, perform, or participate in anything structured.

They are simply safe, welcoming spaces for women to come together — to take a break, enjoy nourishing food, meet new friends, and mark the changing seasons in a gentle, intentional way.

Come to relax, connect, and feel held in community. That’s more than enough.

How It Works

• Potluck Style: Bring a vegetarian or vegan dish to share

• When registering, you’ll be prompted to choose a dish category: appetizer, main course, or dessert. If a category fills up, we’ll ask you to select a different option so we can keep a balanced variety of dishes. No need to prepare enough food for a crowd of 20+ — with each woman bringing something, there’s always more than enough to share. (Of course, if you love to cook and want to go big, we welcome that too!)

• Please include a list of ingredients (for allergy awareness) with your dish at the gathering and bring your own serving utensils!

• Appetizers and main course dishes should be vegetarian or vegan, and we kindly ask that you include a list of ingredients for those with food allergies or sensitivities

• A fully equipped kitchen is available on-site

• Plates, cups, utensils, tea, and water will be provided — just bring your beautiful self and your dish to share

• These are non-alcoholic events

• Each gathering includes a seasonal blessing before brunch

• You are warmly invited to bring a small item for our communal altar that reflects the season or the celebration’s theme (optional, but welcome)

• Address: Rogers Lake Clubhouse, 75 Rogers Lake Trail, Old Lyme, CT 06371 (PLEASE DO NOT PARK ON THE GRASS - there is additional parking behind the building) Please be considerate of surrounding neighbors.

• $20 pp

Bringing Your Daughter

We warmly welcome girls ages 12 and up who would enjoy and benefit from the space. These gatherings are gentle, reflective, and rooted in meaningful connection — so we kindly ask that younger children not attend, in order to preserve the calm, nourishing atmosphere.

There is no charge for daughters — Simply bring a dish to share, or if your daughter prefers, she can contribute a small item to add to the table.

Each young woman must be accompanied by an adult. This is a beautiful way to share the magic of seasonal gatherings across generations.

Want to Bring a Little Extra Magic or Fun?

These gatherings are spacious and relaxed — and if you feel called to bring something that brings you joy or invites gentle connection, please do. A few ideas:

• Tarot or oracle cards for casual readings and soulful conversation

• Knitting, crocheting, or handwork to work on while you chat and sip tea

• Journals for reflection or intention-setting

• Seasonal craft supplies

There’s no pressure to do anything but show up — but if you’d like to contribute to the atmosphere in a small way, we welcome it.

Nothing is required — this is an open-hearted invitation to co-create if it brings you joy. Feel free to reach out if you’d like to coordinate ahead of time!

Want to Help?

P.S. If you’d like to volunteer to help prepare the space, tend the altar, or support the flow — for one brunch or many — just let us know when you RSVP. Many hands make light, meaningful work.
