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 “What the Light Shines Through,” and it offers an invitation to ponder the work of mending, restoration, and healing—the ways by which the brokenness within us and around us becomes transformed. 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!)
There is no cost for the retreat. It’s my Women’s Christmas gift to you, with gratitude for your presence on my path. To download the retreat, visit this page at my Sanctuary of Women blog:
Women’s Christmas Retreat 2020: What the Light Shines Through
I’d be delighted for you to pass along the gift by sharing the link with others.
I send much gratitude and many blessings for you. Merry Women’s Christmas!
