Embracing the Dark: A Four-Week Journey to the Winter Solstice
November 30 – December 21, 2025 Online Gathering
What if darkness isn’t something to escape, but something to embrace?
As winter’s darkness deepens and our world feels increasingly uncertain, this Winter Solstice Journey is a four-week online gathering that invites you to discover the sacred wisdom that lives in the dark. Rather than rushing toward the light, we’ll learn to befriend the shadows, both within ourselves and in our times, finding strength and insight in what we usually try to avoid.
Through ritual, reflection, and community, we’ll honor this season of turning inward while exploring what our personal and collective darkness has to teach us.
