Happy New Year and Merry Epiphany, almost! In celebration, these three wise women are stopping by with a gift for you. You might know that some folks celebrate Epiphany (January 6) as Women’s Christmas. Originating in Ireland, where it is known as Nollaig na mBan , Women’s Christmas began as a day when the women set aside time to enjoy a break and celebrate together at the end of the holidays.
It has become a tradition for me to create a new retreat each year that you can download as a PDF and use on Women’s Christmas or whenever you need some time for reflection and regathering. The new retreat is hot off the press and waiting for you! This year’s theme is In the Light of a New Constellation . It includes readings, art, questions, and blessings. You can do the retreat alone or share it with friends. (And it’s not for women only!)
