(Postponed to 2025) Holy Hibernation: a gathering as the light retreats

Holy Hibernation: learning how to survive November and preparing to thrive all winter long


PLEASE NOTE: This experience has been postponed until 2025.

What if this upcoming season was something to look forward to, instead of something to dread?

What if there were undiscovered gifts to receive from the cold, dark, and quiet of late fall and early winter?

You’re invited to an ONLINE gathering on November 3, the first evening of daylight savings time.

We’ll experience the retreat of the light together in a restorative 90 minute session, full of meaningful moments of reflection:

  • you’ll slow down, listen deeply, and be present to the wisdom of the season

  • you’ll ground yourself in Something bigger, turning inward instead of being pulled by your roles, responsibilities and relationships - even if it’s just for the 90 minutes.

  • you’ll learn what it means to “decorate the dark”, and how spiritual traditions have led the way.

  • find renewed meaning in cycles of transformation, seeing how hibernation is imperative to wholeness

  • draw closer to your own needs and priorities in order to thrive over the next few months

  • discover new ways to experience this season with hope, peace and joy

Christa Hesselink will serve as your guide sharing some insight and teaching as well as using images, poetry, music, and contemplative practices to create a truly restorative experience.

…and it’s priced for everyone to participate. It’s only $20/person, and if financial constraints are an issue, just let Christa know - everyone should be able to attend.
