Happy New Year and Merry Epiphany! 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 retreat that you can use for Women’s Christmas—or any time you’re in need of a space of respite and regathering. This year’s retreat is titled How the Stars Get in Your Bones. 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 2025: How the Stars Get in Your Bones
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 for this beautiful gift. I hope to go on Reteat as I set out today on a very special holiday at sea.
And thank you for your generous spirit, sharing your life through prayer in word and Art. I have drawn upon your experience often and shared in my own ministry as spiritual director, quiet times of weekly meditation and in day retreats.
I receive it all with love in return.
