As the days shorten and the natural world invites us to turn inward, our ancestors call us to listen.
We’ll gather around the light of the fire, ground into the earth, and share writing, ritual, and storytelling.
You’ll return to everyday life with a deepened sense of belonging as well as messages from your ancestors to carry you through the dark half of the year.
