As the Winter Solstice approaches, Mary invites you to an online gathering to honor the timeless themes of light, hope, and renewal. This short online workshop goes beyond stories and traditions to focus on an inner journey—an opportunity to connect deeply with your own light through the transformative practice of imagery and visualization.
Throughout history, fire and light have symbolized warmth, resilience, and transformation, guiding and uniting people across cultures during the darkest days. From ancient bonfires to modern celebrations like Christmas, Hanukkah, Diwali, and Kwanzaa, light has been a universal emblem of hope and renewal. These traditions remind us that even in times of stillness and shadow, the cycle of rebirth is always underway.
In this celebration, we will reflect on the ways diverse cultures embrace light as a symbol of faith and festivity. More importantly, we will embark on an inner experience through guided imagery, exploring how to nurture and rekindle our own inner light. This visualization practice will help participants connect with their deeper selves, fostering resilience, wholeness, and a renewed sense of purpose as we move through the year’s darkest season.
Join us for storytelling, reflection, and a collective moment of radiance as we honor the sacred energies of the season. Bring your favorite candle or light source to illuminate our shared journey as we kindle optimism, connection, and gratitude together.
Celebrate with us as we cherish the power of light, the promise of renewal, and the magic of inner transformation during this enchanting season!

November, historically, is a time to remember our ancestors and to engage with any healing our relationship with them needs.
Families carry histories, traumas, cultural ideas; they carry stories of joys and fears, of what is correct and what is taboo. We are born into already created worlds and sometimes need to sift through the ancestral influences to come home more fully to ourselves.
Positive or negative, ancestral influences can impact our lives deeply.
They may give us a sense of belonging, of being held by a long line of people who walked this earth before us and thus increase our sense of self-worth here and now. In other words, they gift us with something enduring and healing.
Or, there may be injuries and hurts, in the family lineage, that have not been healed, and that still impacts who we are. The need to heal the apparently ‘negative’ impact from ancestral injuries can be a gift from our ancestors. Through working with and through these events we can gather our power. By fully ‘digesting’ whatever we have been born into, by healing it so that it doesn’t pass on to others, we can become more completely ourselves, no longer caught by unresolved ancestral or cultural energies and supported by our family line.
In this circle, we will journey to whatever ancestral or cultural event is most in need of our attention and is ready to heal.
Everyone is Welcome

Journey to the Awakening Light within
In the Northern hemisphere, many festivals celebrate the returning light around the time of the winter solstice. These celebratory traditions have a long history. The Neolithic peoples of Europe built monuments that were aligned with the Sun at the Winter Solstice. Later, during festivities at the winter solstice, fires were lit to symbolize the heat, light- and life-giving properties of the returning sun. Christians also chose to celebrate the birth of the Christ Child, the light of the world, around the time of the returning sun, on December 25th. The rebirth of light, whether spiritual or temporal, is an active energy at this time of year and can brighten the way forward for each of us during this festive season.
On December 21, we will journey to our own inner light, to re-kindle it in ourselves for the coming year. For many of us, this year has been a year darkened by Covid-19, by lockdowns, illnesses, and the resultant uncertainties that at times, made our social, political, and even home life, insecure.
In this circle, we will take the time to journey to meet with the light that sustains us, the unique brightness that is ours. We will explore
– what needs to be healed
– what smaller fires need to be lit within in order to call back our inner sun
– what needs to be born, nurtured and welcomed, like the Christ-child was
– what needs to be tended to so as to allow our inner light to return to its fullest brightness.
– what needs to be celebrated in our selves
