Solstice Sanctuary: A Yule Gathering for Reflection and Hope
Join us for a magical Yule Celebration on December 15 from 6-8 PM at Crabtree Farms, where we honor the winter solstice and the profound theme of rebirth, especially for women. This enchanting evening invites those seeking a deeper connection to nature, community, and the divine feminine to gather in warmth and fellowship.
As the longest night of the year unfolds, we’ll explore the beautiful interplay between darkness and light. This event draws inspiration from Modraniht, or “Mother’s Night,” a cherished ancient festival dedicated to honoring the feminine spirit and our ancestral mothers. It is a sacred time for recognizing the strength, wisdom, and nurturing qualities of women throughout history.
Who Should Join:
As we are celebrating Mother’s Night, this gathering is geared for women who feel the call to reconnect with their roots, honor their ancestors, and embrace the nurturing aspects of themselves, and men who respect the role of women in spirituality and honor those who tend to the hearth and hearts.
If you are seeking community and a deeper understanding of your spiritual path, this celebration is designed for you.
This event is for adults and mature teens. Please leave children at home, or consider a group babysitter!
You are encouraged to come dressed up in holiday attire.
————————————
As twilight falls and we gather in the warmth of community, our evening will unfold with a series of activities designed to nurture reflection, connection, and joy. Each element of the evening has been thoughtfully crafted to honor the spirit of Yule and the return of the light. Here’s what you can look forward to:
- Opening Ritual: Together, we will create a sacred space, lighting candles to symbolize the return of the sun and the rebirth of our intentions.
- Storytelling and Folklore: Share and listen to tales of winter solstice traditions and the powerful role of women in our ancestral lineages, exploring themes of resilience and transformation.
- Community Feast: Enjoy a potluck-style meal featuring seasonal dishes, herbs, and foods that nourish the body and spirit, honoring the bounty of the earth.
- Sharing Ancestral Wisdom: Participants are encouraged to bring a small token or story representing a female ancestor to share during our circle, fostering connection and remembrance.
- White Elephant Gift Exchange: Each participant is invited to bring a wrapped gift for a fun, festive swap. The only rule: your gift should be something you already have at home, not something newly purchased. Choose an item you’d like to exchange and enjoy the surprise!
As we celebrate the rebirth of women during this sacred time, we honor our shared experiences and the strength we draw from our lineages. Join us in this empowering evening of connection, reverence, and joy, as we look forward to the light that awaits us in the new year.
Let’s gather in gratitude and intention, embracing the magic of Yule together!
