Karen’s seasonal gatherings, like those at a Solstice or Beltane, allow me to step out of my everyday life and thoughts. I connect to me, my needs, and my desires, and am held in total acceptance by women who know and understand.  I recharge and then go back to the world refreshed and renewed. There’s nothing else like it! -Jessica

Seasonal Circles & Retreats

 

Join Our Samhain Fire Circle & Ceremony

 

CLOSED FOR REGISTRATION but thanks for your interest

Friday, November 1,  2024

6:00-9:30pm ET

 

As the leaves fall and the days grow darker, you may be feeling a desire to curl up with a cozy blanket fireside or a need for solitude, just you, your journal, and a favorite cup of tea. Or you may feel more tuned into Spirit. We all can feel this shift in seasons, but in the midst of our full, busy lives we can miss what the season and our soul is really calling us towards.

Join our beautiful community to honor the changing seasons and our ancestors. Together, we will mark another turning of the wheel in this sacred Samhain celebration, a time to release what no longer serves us and open to deeper connection.

Step into the ancient tradition of Samhain (pronounced “sow-in”), a Celtic festival that bridges the Autumn Equinox and Winter Solstice. Known as “summer’s end,” Samhain invites us to pause, turn inward, and honor the wisdom of our ancestors. This is known as the moment when the veil between the living and spirit worlds is at its thinnest – meaning we can more readily receive love and guidance from those who have passed. The tradition of Samhain offers us a unique opportunity to connect with loved ones who have passed, all within the warmth and support of a women’s circle.

Under the twilight sky, we’ll gather around a glowing fire, embracing joyful embodiment, soul-listening, and heart-expression. This is a time for you to rest into your true nature, nourish your spirit, and experience the power of sisterhood.

This gathering is for you if you…

  • Crave meaningful connection in a supportive community
  • Long to align with the rhythms of nature and the turning seasons
  • Feel called to pause, slow down, and step away from life’s distractions
  • Yearn to release what’s been holding you back from your true self-expression
  • Desire to tune into your soul’s wisdom for clarity, guidance, and nourishment
  • Wish to connect with a loved one or ancestor on the other side

During this magical gathering, you’ll have the opportunity to:

  • Experience deep soul-care through rich ritual and ceremony
  • Enjoy sacred movement and guided visualization
  • Reflect through journaling and intimate sharing
  • Participate in a powerful fire ceremony to release and renew
  • Savor a light potluck supper in the peaceful beauty of nature
  • Connect with both yourself and like-hearted women in a sacred circle

This will be my eighth year facilitating this deeply nourishing and mystical gathering. Whether you’re a returning sister or joining us for the first time, you’ll be welcomed with open arms. Together, we’ll create a sacred space to honor ourselves, our ancestors, and the cycles of life.

Fee: $67  (Space is limited; early registration encouraged.)

Feeling Resistance?
I know how tricky it can be to commit yourself to something like this with everything you have going on. But once you do, you’re telling yourself that you matter. And when you honor yourself in this way, others respond with respect and support.

I can’t wait to gather with you by the fire for this special celebration.

When attending the circles Karen facilitates I always feel seen and heard. I take with me gratitude, wisdom about my process and ways to deepen my spiritual journey. It never ceases to amaze me how we women are so deeply connected and committed to our true path. And that feeds the fire in my belly… -Cathy S.

Here’s what else some past attendees had to say about past retreats…
Complete nourishment for the body and soul. These types of exercises/meditations/components are now a must for my body, mental-health and overall well-being. Karen’s guidance and experience during these retreats are spot-on and she always knows what we need at just the right times! – J.L.

Each time I attend your retreats I learn more about myself, my needs, my desires, and what I’m capable of doing. I become more of “me” and love it! – J.W
