🌙 Winter Solstice Circle: Release & Renew
A Fire Ceremony + Identity Shedding Gathering
This coming Solstice is an extremely powerful portal for release and rebirth.
Not only is it the Winter Solstice the longest night of the year and the moment when light begins to return, but 2025 is also a 9 year, marking the completion of a significant energetic and karmic cycle.
We’re also closing out the Year of the Snake, a symbolic time of shedding old skin, letting outdated identities fall away, and emerging clearer, lighter, and more aligned with who we are becoming.
This circle is an invitation to pause, breathe, and honour this turning point. Together we will release what no longer serves, connect in a supportive and non-judgmental space, and step into the new identity that’s ready to rise.
Expect warmth, reflection, deep presence, and the transformative power of fire.
