Seasonal Circles

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

❄️ Winter Solstice Virtual Ceremony ❄️

 

So you can step into the beginning of winter
with a deep acceptance of yourself and your path

 

Wednesday, December 17th  |  7-830pm ET  |  On Zoom

Investment: $27

 

An intimate gathering of kindred souls where you’ll have space to be held & deeply nourished

 

This circle offers you that pause — a place to exhale, ground,
and reconnect with what is quietly growing inside you.

For Circle Lovers… and Circle Weavers

This Winter Solstice gathering is for every woman who feels nourished by sacred space…
and also for those who sense a calling to create or deepen such spaces themselves.

If you love sitting in circle, you’ll feel at home here — wrapped in candlelight, community, and the soft magic that happens when women breathe together.

If you’re curious about weaving your own circles, this is a beautiful chance to experience how a seasonal ceremony flows…
the rhythm…
the pacing…
the way reflection, ritual, and inner journeying intertwine.

You’ll not only receive the nourishment of the night, you’ll also feel the subtle architecture of circle-holding — how to guide energy, how to welcome depth, how to tend a group with steadiness and heart.

It’s a doorway for your own gifts to whisper,
“Yes, you can hold this kind of space too.”

In This Sacred Gathering You’ll Be Guided To…

Slow down enough to hear your inner wisdom

Letting your body settle and your breath lead you back to yourself.

Reflect on the year with reverence, not pressure

 Honoring what blossomed, what dissolved, what stretched you, what blessed you.

Enter the quiet landscape of winter’s darkness

Through a guided journey you’ll discover a place of rest, mystery, and new light waiting for you.

Meet the spark waiting for you in the dark

A small but potent glimmer of insight, energy, or intention that wants to be tended gently, without rushing into resolutions.

Bless your new candle with this spark

A simple, powerful ritual to anchor your inner light through the winter months.

Share in sisterhood

Witnessing others and being witnessed, letting communal warmth lift your own flame.

What You May Leave With…

A clearer sense of what this year has truly meant to you.
A felt connection to your inner spark and your personal rhythm for the months ahead.
A ritual candle infused with intention to guide your winter season.
A softening in your body and breath.
A sense of being seen and supported by a circle of women.
Perhaps even a nudge from your inner wisdom whispering about the circles you’re meant to tend or the spaces you’re ready to deepen.

A Note About Resistance

If you’re feeling the tug of
“I’m too busy,”
“It’s not the right time,”
“I should be doing something more productive,”

you’re not alone.

Those voices often get louder right when we most need to step into sacred space.
Not to accomplish anything…
but to come home to ourselves.

Choosing ceremony in the busiest season isn’t indulgent — it’s medicine.
It brings you back to a steadier, more grounded rhythm so you can move through the holidays (and the winter ahead) with clarity, not depletion.

A Gentle Invitation Forward

At the end of our ceremony, I’ll share about the Circle Weaving Mentorship Program — for women who feel called to create, lead, or deepen their own circles with authenticity, presence, and soul.

If leadership, community, or sacred space-holding stirs something inside you… this may be where that spark begins to glow brighter.

Come sit with us.

🌿 Frequently Asked Questions

What if I can’t attend live?

The best experience is in real-time, but a replay will be available for those who register.

What do I need to bring?

Two candles: An old candle that you’re ready to retire, a new candle for the season ahead, preferably a pillar candle but any candle will do. Also,  a journal and pen, maybe a cup of your favorite tea or hot beverage, and a cozy blanket.
