“Step Out of Time & Into the Sacred Days of Winter“
Winter Solstice
Virtual Retreat
December 17th – 31st 2023
Join in celebrating the Winter Solstice with a unique digital retreat designed to bring you closer to the essence of this sacred time of year. This online retreat focuses on the mystical "Days Out of Time," a period between December 20th and the 31st, where time seems to stand still, allowing for deep introspection and connection.
Immerse yourself in the intercalary "Days Out of Time" from December 20th through twelfth night, December 31st, by engaging in the ancient tradition of "Omen Days." Each morning, receive an email introducing a theme that broadens your awareness and highlights symbols to observe. These symbols carry messages providing insights into each month of the upcoming year.
Indulge yourself in nightly guided meditations crafted to align you with the unique energies of the Tree spirits of the Celtic Ogham. Find messages and medicine in these journeys intended to seed your dreams with opportunities for further connection with your guides and higher self each night.
Enrich your understanding of the Winter Solstice with our daily insights into folklore, traditions, and customs surrounding Yule. Learn about ancient practices that have celebrated the return of light for centuries, and incorporate these timeless rituals into your own modern festivities.
Each day, you'll receive two emails filled with inspiration, seasonal guidance, journal prompts and activities tailored to enhance your Winter Solstice experience. Your morning message introduces a new lesson each day, and prepares you for your daily divination practice. Your evening email contains guided meditation dream seed messages. This tandem rhythm of wisdom delivered daily to your inbox will support you completely on your journey through the "Days Out of Time."
