YULE: Dinner & Ceremony

As the light gets shorter and the nights grow longer, we make our way to the shortest day : Yule-the Winter Solstice.

Just when the darkness grows to its greatest extent, the light is reborn.
In these tumultuous times of extremes, Winter Solstice is the reminder that the greatest darkness contains the seed of light.
And like seeds lying dormant beneath the winter soil, we are invited to rest and reflect on what is waiting to emerge within and around us. As transformation is quietly unfolding, hope asks us to embrace this pause and believe in what is yet to come.
In this collaboration of Herb Blending, Seasonal Ceremony, and Santé Supper Club, we circle together to eat, drink, and celebrate the mystery and wonder of Winter. Let yourself sink into a guided meditation that aligns you with the virtues present in this time of year as you sip an herbal tea specifically created to warm and comfort. Allow your creativity to play as you make an herbal blend for yourself to take home. Afterwards, we draw you to the table with the delicious foods of the season all in the cozy, dreamy space of the Matriarchy.
We invite you to honor the darkness and keep the sparks of hope for the future burning brightly!

Each Seasonal Herbal Blending Ceremony is special, as it's an intentional space to exhale and align with the Earth and her herbal offerings in a community of fellow seekers. Prepare to be welcomed into the transformative magic of ritual, reflection, and genuine connection.

Each gathering is different—shaped by the energy of the season and those present in the room - but at the core, you can expect:

• Opening Ritual & Meditation – Create sacred space by altar building, aligning with the elements, and intention setting

• Learning about the benefits and wisdom that each herb has to offer

• Mixing a blend of the herbs of your choice into a tea that you take home to nurture you throughout the season

• Journaling and Blessing your herbal tea blend with your intention

• Reflection and Oracle Cards – Exploring our connection to Spirit and sharing thoughts

• Closing Ritual – Offering gratitude and integration

We will end the evening with a supper club style meal paired with non-alcoholic seasonal drinks.
