Solstice Circle:
Ritual and Writing for Yule
Saturday, December 20, 2025
3-5pm
As the longest night of the year approaches, we gather in friendship and quiet warmth to rest, reflect, and call the light back in.
This circle invites you to settle into stillness, honor what you’re carrying, and nurture the small ember of hope within.
Together, we will:
Seasonal prompts and practices to explore prior to the gathering.
Rituals to root you in your body and tune into your inner life.
Gentle ways to attune yourself with the cycles of nature.
Altar creation to release your burdens .
Reflective and imaginative writing activities
