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!)
There is no cost for the retreat. It’s my Women’s Christmas gift to you, with deep gratitude for your presence on my path. To download the retreat, click this link to go to the Women’s Christmas page on my Sanctuary of Women site:
Women’s Christmas Retreat 2023: In the Light of a New Constellation
I would be delighted for you to share this gift with others.
I send much gratitude and many blessings for you. Merry Women’s Christmas!

Thank you so much for the gift of Women’s Christmas. I am going through a time being with my son as his disease is progressing. I was encouraged by the very first poem. This was what I needed today.
I am filled with gratitude.

Lois, thank you so much; it is lovely to hear from you. My heart and my prayers go out to you and to your son as you navigate the progression of his disease. I am grateful for your kindness in the midst of what life is holding, and I pray so many blessings for you, your son, and all your family.
