Between Christmas and the New Year, there is a unique stillness that settles over the days — a gentle pause where one season has ended and the next has not yet begun. It is the perfect space for reflection, clarity, and new intentions.
You are warmly invited to join us at Ardross ARK on 28th December for a peaceful End of Year Gathering — a simple afternoon of warmth, gentle music, candlelight, and quiet reflection.
Our lovely volunteer Annemarie will be there to welcome you, look after the space, and hold the soft atmosphere of the afternoon.
The fire will be lit, peaceful music will be playing in the background, and the old church will offer a warm, comforting place to slow down and settle into this thoughtful time of year.
Hot chocolate and homebakes will be available for anyone who would like a small treat while they’re here.
🕯️ A Moment Between What Has Been and What Is Coming
This is a beautiful opportunity to look back gently on the year that has passed —
to recognise what strengthened you,
what taught you,
and what you are ready to let go of.
Not everything we carry through the year is meant to follow us into the next one.
This gathering is a soft invitation to acknowledge what no longer serves you
and to leave it behind with peace.
🌿 Creating New Intentions and New Traditions
As we turn toward the year ahead, this quiet space offers room to imagine what you want to bring with you into your next chapter.
You might like to reflect on:
– What brings you joy
– Where you feel connected
– What sparks your creativity
– What supports your peace
– What feels meaningful
– What you want to give more space to
– What you will choose to leave behind
This is also a wonderful time to create new traditions for yourself or your family —
gentle, intentional moments that support who you are becoming.
