Awakening Hope: A Yule Ritual for Recovery

Friday, December 19th, 2025

Passenger Recovery Community Center
3901 Christopher St, Hamtramck, MI

Yule is the turning of the wheel when the long darkness begins to soften and the light slowly returns. After the deep inner journey of Samhain, this season offers us a sacred pause to reflect, release, and welcome the hope that comes with the growing sun. The night sky stretches long, making it the perfect time to see a bright star or even a shooting one. A perfect moment to make a wish.

At this month’s Awakening Hope ritual, we will gather in a sacred circle to honor the closing of the year and to make space for what we want to grow. Together we will:

• Reflect on the past year and acknowledge what we are ready to leave behind

• Release old patterns and energy through a guided fire ritual

• Craft Yule wish ornaments that hold our intentions between Yule and Imbolc

• Call in our hopes for the coming cycle and plant the energetic seeds of renewal

• Share sacred space in community, honoring recovery as a spiritual journey

You are welcome whether you have attended ritual many times or never before. No prior experience is needed, only a willingness to show up with an open heart.

This is a free community ritual for anyone seeking recovery, supporting someone who is, or wanting a spiritually aligned place to reconnect during the winter season. Bring your journal, bring your presence, and join us as we weave magick, recovery, and renewal on this sacred Yule night.
