Welcoming the Light: An Online Winter Solstice Gathering

  • Virtually via ZOOM (map)

The Winter Solstice is a doorway — the longest night of the year, a moment suspended between what has been and what is quietly emerging. In this circle, we will step together into the stillness of the season, honoring endings and welcoming the returning light.

This gathering is an invitation to pause, to slow, and to listen — to your own inner rhythms and the quiet guidance of the natural world. We will move gently through story, reflection, and ritual, creating a space for each woman to meet herself with presence, curiosity, and care.

What We’ll Explore:

  • The sacred energy of the Solstice: endings, thresholds, and renewal

  • Ways to attune to the elements — stones, evergreens, and seasonal herbs — as allies in reflection and intention

  • Guided meditations and contemplative practices to release the past and plant seeds for the year ahead

  • Engaging with the season through sensory, creative practices

  • Celtic folktales and seasonal stories that celebrate winter, thresholds, and transformation, connecting with the wisdom of the Cailleach, sacred landscapes, nature spirits, and the cycles of light and dark through storytelling

REGISTER

What You’ll Receive:

  • A gentle guide for reflection and ritual, to carry the Solstice energy forward

  • Access to the session recording for revisiting the practices

  • Inspiration for honoring seasonal rhythms in your own life

Who This Circle Is For:
This gathering is for women who wish to step out of the hurry of daily life and into the quiet, reflective energy of winter. No prior experience with ritual or seasonal work is needed — just your presence and willingness to pause, breathe, and connect.

Suggested Materials:

  • A candle, stone, or small natural object to focus your attention

  • Paper and pen for reflection or intention-setting

  • A quiet, comfortable space where you can be fully present

  • A white candle and a nourishing cup of tea (warm drink of your choice)

Intention:
Together, we will honor the stillness and the shadow of winter, and we will welcome the light that is quietly returning. You will leave with reflective practices, personal rituals, and a gentle connection to the rhythms of the season, carrying the quiet magic of the Solstice into your own life.
