There was a time when the holiday season was focused on the sacred. In the old ways, people honored the natural world and the unseen realm, listened to the myths of old, gathered in hope, and crafted rituals that awakened resilience for the winter season.
At times, the holidays feel like exhaustion from commercialism, draining parties with surface-level conversations, uninspiring rituals, witchy-aesthetic crafts, and meaningless gift giving.
It’s that longing for depth that has us wanting something different.
Our Winter Solstice Circle is an intentional seasonal gathering in the old ways. Experience craft and ritual that transform the way you move through life and gift you what your spirit is longing for. Have fun and get inspired by a gift exchange that is both spirited and spiritual.
The intention of our Circle is that you return home carrying the hope of this sacred season and a sense of belonging to something bigger. You’ll be in wonder, asking yourself:
Do the seasons and cycles of nature affect my wellbeing?
What ancient myths and traditions are calling to me?
How can I slow down and make intentional time with others?
Is there a way to make my holiday traditions more sacred?
What rituals can I create to bring more awe and awareness into my life?
You’ll be in wonder and be nourished, grounded, embodied, and hopeful.
Our circles are rooted in the practices of art as ritual, authentic relating, somatic attunement, alchemy, archetypal stories, traditions of the old ways, inner parts integration, energy healing, embodied movement, and family constellations.
Our intention is to transform the way you experience the world, yourself, and others by embodying authentic creative expression and connection.

Intentional Conversation
Be guided through games and practices that bring depth and nourish new and old connections.
History & Myth of Solstice
Remember the ancestors and honor the roots of modern holiday traditions as we explore the history of Celtic Winter Solstice and the myth of winter’s crone, who teaches the power of surrender and renewal.
Solstice Light Ritual
A guided experience to honor what you’ll leave in the dark and what you’ll expand into the returning light—through reflection, solstice art and craft, and embodied spell.
Winter Sídhe Gift Exchange
Similar to a White Elephant, this playful exchange honors the myth of the Celtic Sídhe (pronounced “shee”)—the unseen realm of the Solstice. Bring a wrapped gift in the spirit of mischief or spiritual healing.
Gift Inspiration: something from home you feel called to pass on for healing or playful mischief; a funny or curious thrift-store find; a small piece of art; an item that inspires creativity or transformation; a treasure you’re ready to release. Let intuition and the Sídhe (spirits) guide your choice. No need to spend money. We’ll have a few extra gifts if you need one for the exchange.
Solstice Fire, Soup & Spiced Cider
We’ll close the evening gathered around the fire with warm soup, spiced cider, and soulful community connection.
Tickets are $30.
The practices and offerings of Winter Solstice Circle are intentionally crafted from personal transformation and guiding 10 years of professional spiritual and embodiment experiences. We’ve witnessed life changing transformation of participants and a community woven together for years long after.
