🌙 Step into a Sacred Space of Reflection and Renewal 🌙

Samhain, a Celtic festival marking the end of the harvest season and the beginning of winter, ushers in the darker half of the year. This ancient celebration honors the cycle of life and death, inviting us to release what no longer serves and reflect on the year that has passed. It is also a time to pay tribute to our ancestors, connecting with the wisdom and strength of those who came before us. As the days grow darker Samhain also reminds us to  rekindle our inner light, allowing it to glow brightly and sustain us, even as the days grow shorter and darker.

Li Dong 立冬 is a traditional Chinese seasonal marker that signifies the beginning of winter, rooted in both Daoist philosophy and the Chinese lunisolar calendar. Daoism emphasizes living in harmony with nature’s cycles, and Li Dong represents the moment when the energy of the year turns inward, inviting us to slow down, conserve energy, and begin a season of reflection and renewal.

This sacred circle creates a space to honor the natural cycles of the seasons and our internal rhythms. Through guided meditation, rituals, and healing practices, we will release old energies, attune to the season of rest, and reconnect with ourselves.

✨ Why Attend This Event?

• Reconnect with Nature’s Wisdom: Both Li Dong and Samhain invite us to pause and honor the transition from light to dark. In a fast-paced world, this gathering provides an opportunity to slow down and reconnect with the cycles of nature as we embark on our inner journey toward renewal

• Deepen Your Personal Connection to the Seasons: When the veil between worlds is thin during Samhain, we are called to reflect on the wisdom of our ancestors and listen to the deeper guidance within ourselves. This is a time to set powerful intentions, release old patterns, and open ourselves to transformation

• Experience Healing and Clarity: Through guided meditation, journaling, and Reiki healing, we will align with the energy of the season, clear stagnant energy, and ground ourselves in the present moment. This evening will leave you feeling refreshed and prepared to embrace the winter months ahead

🕯️ What to Expect:

1. Opening Sacred Space: We will begin by creating a sacred container to hold the energy of our circle, attuning to the rhythms of nature and the spirit of the season

2. Guided Meditation: Journey inward with a guided meditation that invites stillness, reflection, and a connection to the season of rest

3. Journaling & Sharing: Reflect on the themes of the evening through journaling, with an optional space to share your thoughts and insights

4. Seasonal Rituals & Activities: Engage in rituals that honor the transitions of both Li Dong and Samhain, helping you release what no longer serves and embrace the gifts of the coming winter months

5. Reiki Healing: Experience the gentle energy of Reiki to clear your energy field and open space for renewal as we journey inward

6. Closing Circle: We will close by sealing the wisdom and healing we’ve cultivated, offering gratitude, and grounding ourselves for the journey ahead

🌿 Earth Song Retreat: A Seasonal Journey of Ritual and Renewal 🌿

Earth Song is a nature-based mini-retreat, designed to help you realign with the natural rhythms and songs of the earth. Each season carries with it a profound wisdom and lesson, but it is only through slowing down and quieting that we can begin to hear these messages. 

This retreat guides you into tapping back into that energy, creating space for you to slow down and listen, letting the earth guide you back into a place of flow and clarity. 🌍✨

Drawing on the wisdom of Celtic Druidism, each mini-retreat is crafted to help you reconnect with the seasons of nature and the gifts that each offers.

As we move deeper into autumn, we enter the cooler, darker half of the year—a time when nature begins to slow down and quiet, inviting us to do the same. 🍂 As daylight shortens and nights grow longer, we are reminded to tend to our own inner flames, to pour our energy inwards, and nourish ourselves through loving kindness as the seasons turn. ✨

This autumn, we are invited to tend to our own inner light and stoke our inner fires. Through ritual and ceremony, we will deepen into the energy of the season, drawing warmth, light, and energy inward to nourish us through the cooler, darker months. 🍂🔥

During this 90-minute journey, we will gather in a sacred circle to experience:

🤎 Heart-opening cacao ceremony
🔮 Seasonal ritual
🧘‍♀️ Guided seasonal meditation
✨ Reiki healing session
🎶 Sound bath

These offerings are intended to reconnect you with the wisdom of the earth’s cycles, as well as the seasons within your own life. 🌱🍂❄️🌸

For this Late Summer offering we celebrate the first of the harvest festivals. Harvest season is right around the corner, marking a significant turning point as we reach the midway point between the summer solstice and the fall equinox. It is a time to reap the abundance of fruits, summer vegetables, and grains we spent so long lovingly tending and it is also a time to cultivate gratitude for ourselves, our minds, our bodies, and our communities as the high energy period of the year begins to wind down. Let’s come together to honor this season of abundance and reflection. Join me in celebrating the beginning of the harvest season and embracing all the gifts the earth and our lives have to offer as we prepare for transitions ahead.

The December offering will focus on how to embrace the darkness of this season: As we enter into the winter months of the year, the world around us calls for slowness and stillness. It is essential to honor the darkness of this time, to slow down and rest despite the holiday business so that when the sun begins its return we will be ready to move forward again. The challenge in this season is how to embrace this darkness. How to honor the rest and rejuvenation this season calls for. Together we will journey into the darkness, as we prepare for the winter solstice and cultivate our inner light from within.
