On the longest night of the year, we gather in ceremony to honor the deep wisdom of winter and the returning spark of the sun. Join us for a soul-nourishing evening of Celtic-inspired storytelling, live music, ritual, meditation, and gentle reflection as we journey from darkness into light.

This Solstice experience is woven together by three guides:

Tricia — mystical storytelling & guided journeying

Elise — cacao ceremony & live folk music

Julie — meditation, grounding embodiment & emotional integration

Together, they create an immersive, feminine-centered space that invites you to slow down, release what you’ve been carrying, and reconnect with the magic at the heart of the season.

What to Expect

Cacao Opening Ceremony

We begin with warm cacao and a gentle welcome to settle your body and open your heart to the energy of the Solstice.

Story #1 — “The Girl Who Spoke to the Dark”

A mythic winter tale told by Tricia, guiding you into the stillness of the season, the wisdom of shadow, and the reclamation of lost parts of self.

The Evergreen Release Ritual (with live music)

Write an intention of what you’re ready to release, wrap it around a sprig of pine or holly, tie it with ribbon, and place it on the altar as an offering to the turning year. Elise will hold the moment with ethereal, live folk music.

Story #2 — “The Woman Who Carried the Sun in Her Chest”

A luminous Solstice myth of empowerment, inner fire, and remembering your own magic—told as we enter the returning light.

Guided Embodiment Meditation

Julie leads a restorative meditation to soften the body, unwind emotional tension, and help you integrate the stories into your own lived experience.

Journaling & Reflection

Time to write, reflect, and (if you choose) share what stirred within you.

Closing Circle & Social Time

We end with a blessing for the new season, followed by space to connect, sip tea, and land gently back into yourself.
