January '26 - Burning the Old Year

Let’s not rush into 2026! Instead, let’s pause in the quiet, short days of winter, reflect on the year that has passed, and close 2025 with gratitude and presence.
In this circle, we’ll draw inspiration from myth, the Andean teachings of Ayni (sacred reciprocity and giving thanks before beginning anew), and poetry by Naomi Shihab Nye and Susan Rich. Together, we’ll use guided journaling prompts to let go, release what no longer serves us, and create space for renewal.
To close the circle, we’ll craft a small prayer bundle with our writing, seeds (symbolizing intention), and herbs (supports) as a take-home ritual to honor endings and invite new beginnings.
This is a gentle, reflective space for anyone who wants to pause and step into the new year with intention.
Looking forward to seeing you there!
