♥️ EARLY BIRD PRICING UNTIL BELTANE ~ WEDNESDAY 8th MAY ♥️ ✨ Book onto Ignite for just £150, with personalised payment plans available✨ It feels like a little while since we spoke about our retreat in Portugal this November! We launched Ignite just before we both started new jobs (doh!) and totally underestimated the energy we would need to put into talking about it. When we started dreaming up this retreat, we were super clear that it had to be authentic. A reflection of us; what we believe helps to guide us through seasonal shifts. That meant being true to ourselves in this demanding time. Neither of us wanted to force any content when we were both feeling pretty exhausted, so we took a breather. Buuuut we are back, we’ve reignited 😉 and we can’t wait to share with you all of the wonderful humans, experiences & treats that are in store for our five day retreat at @theshantispace ♥️ With what’s shaping up to be an incredibly busy summer, Ignite is the perfect gift for your mind & body to decompress and slowly unfold into the dark half of the year. It’s about tending to your fires to keep them burning through winter and beyond. So, if you feel the call to join us, you can secure your space for just £150, and set up a personalised payment plan from there. ✨✨✨ Send us a DM if you’d like to hear more. ♥️ Picture by @ana_marta_dias from Wild Woman retreat at @theshantispace in 2022. #seasonal #seasonalretreat #womensretreat #portugal #portugalretreat #shiftingseasons #celtichistory #wheeloftheyear #samhain #darkhalfoftheyear #retreat #autumn #winter #selflove

The beginning of February on the Celtic calendar, marks the reawakening of the earth and celebrates new hope and new life as seen in the animals and land around the community. Here in North America there are places that will not see any signs of spring for several months still to come. But that does not mean there can not be participation in other Imbolc traditions such as cleaning out the hearth for relighting (in whatever way makes sense for your living arrangement, making candles as the nights are still long or weaving Brigid crosses as blessings for the home.

My Yule ritual this year was inspired by @middleagedwitch ‘s Yule episode 🧹 🎄 Rauhnächte is a German 13 wishes ritual associated with the 1️⃣3️⃣ days of yule/solstice. There are a variety of ways to do it, but this is my take 🧙‍♀️ ~~~~~~ Write down 13 wish on individual slips of paper ✍️ Fold them up so the writing isn’t visible ✉️ Each day for 13 days after I’ll burn 1 wish with out looking at it. 🔥 The first twelve burned will come true in order of the 12 months as a gift from the universe 🎁 . So the wish I burn today will come true in January. Saturdays burned wish will come true in February. Etc. The 13th day is the last wish. I’ll open that paper and read it. That wish is up to me to make come true 💪 #rauhnächte #rauhnacht #13wishes #13daysofyule #yuleritual #wintersolstice #wintersolsticeritual #intentionallywitchyy #witchinwithintention #wheeloftheyear #northernhemispherewitch #yulealtar #middleagedwitchpodcast #blessedyule #witchcraft #manifestationmagic #witchythings #texaswitch #witchesofinstagram #witchesoftexas #dfwwitch #dfwpagans #paganwitch #paganwitchcraft #germanwitchcraft #germantradition #paganritual #paganwoman #ilovewitchcraft #darkhalfoftheyear

Come join @nina.plavnik & @sasha.freelive on Thursday the 21st of December at 7pm to celebrate the shortest day of the year! 🎉 The word “solstice” translates to mean “sun stands still” and during winter - this is the moment in the Northern Hemisphere we have reached the peak of darkness - knowing just on the other side is a glimmer of hope and the days of light will grow stronger once again. ❄️🌅 During the depths of winter we get to look deeply in the void - here lies the places we often avoid but also the places of new potential. Together through the power of: 🦋 Ceremonial Cacao 🦋 Winter solstice teachings 🦋 OM Chanting 🦋 Singing bowls 🦋 Voicing and meditation 🦋 Tarot 🦋 Community And more! We will dive into the depths and crystallise that glimmer of new hope - using the power of divination and sound to clarify those seeds we may have started to plant around Halloween time. We started at 7pm here in Limassol and the energy exchange for our evening is 25 EURO. If you feel the pull DM one of us to book your spot! We cannot wait to have you and share this space with you. All our love, Sasha & Nina 🤍💋🧘🏻‍♀️ #wintersolstice #yule #solstice #singingbowls #chanting #cacaoceremony #ceremonialcacao #omchanting #voiceactivation #soundhealing #community #darkhalfoftheyear #warmth #rebirth #void #potential #hope #renewal #yuletide #oneness #connection #community #spirituality #healing

It seemed important to share some thoughts around hibernation, politics & war, scattered as they are. This time seems a tumult of emotion: grief at the world's war, disbelief at the inhuman response from world leaders, a sense of time running out as I try to wrap up loose ends before years' end, the satisfaction of completing my final in person event, fierce joy from the raw conversations in our Winter's Embrace community & finally, an all pervasive feeling that it's time to withdraw into hibernation. I've been talking allot with folks the last couple months about the call on us to echo the rest of nature to slow right down & turn within for insights at this time of year. Now it's time to do this for myself! I still have my wonderful sessions with the Winter's Embrace community into January, lots of journaling to do & a few jobs around the house, but I've mostly cleared out my diary to make space for sleep, rest, reading, walks, baking, dreaming into 2024 & cat cuddles! I'll also be taking two periods of Cauldron Time for physical & digital detox & spiritual retreat - my most nourishing & rewarding Winter habit. So you will be seeing a lot less of me. I am privileged that I can make this a reality but suggest you ask yourself where you can invite the spirit of hibernation into your daily life? This may mean slowing down a little, sleeping a little longer, finding a few hours one evening for journaling, sharing walks with family & friends... Don't blame yourself if this is hard, especially the closer we get to christmas. We live in a system that uses all of its power to keep you working, productive & consuming, & the level to which we can fight that differs greatly based on our personal circumstances. Also, it feels crass not to mention the privilege of taking time out in the midst of war. But I want to gently add another perspective, which is that for some of us, without the daily grind to distract us, creating more space for reflection actually allows us to be present with our thoughts & feelings. For me, this is how the weight of grief for the people of Palest1ne, Ukra1ne (continued in comments)

As we head towards Midwinter I like to think about the past year and examine the patterns and changes wrought. The darker, shorter days lead naturally to a turn inwards, to solitude and introspection that I whole-heartedly embrace. . This year I've noticed myself slipping into some unhealthy purchasing habits and, while I live within my means, my shopping has a wasteful, unnecessary element to it. That is something I'd like to change next year with a low-buy/intentional shopping challenge. I am currently working out what that means to me in practice and, if you have ever done a no-buy/low-buy, I would appreciate any suggestions or tips. . . #intentionalliving #introspection #darkhalfoftheyear #seasonalliving #lowbuy #nobuy #intentionalshopping #selfimprovement

THIS✨ For all who need to hear it… “I cannot tell you how the light comes. What I know is that it is more ancient than imagining. That it travels across an astounding expanse to reach us. That it loves searching out what is hidden what is lost what is forgotten or in peril or in pain. That it has a fondness for the body for finding its way toward flesh for tracing the edges of form for shining forth through the eye, the hand, the heart. I cannot tell you how the light comes, but that it does. That it will. That it works its way into the deepest dark that enfolds you, though it may seem long ages in coming or arrive in a shape you did not foresee. And so may we this day turn ourselves toward it. May we lift our faces to let it find us. May we bend our bodies to follow the arc it makes. May we open and open more and open still to the blessed light that comes". ~ Jan Richardson Art by Hans Walor #light #darkhalfoftheyear #hope #beopen #thelightiscoming

I don't know why I thought,  this could be the year I outsmart it.  The pulling under. The darkness. It still sneaks up on me.  Even when I'm expecting it.  We want winter on our terms. We want cozy knits, cocoa and snowmen.  The things that soften the blow of, What winters are really here to do. Easier said than done, To let go , to fall, to fumble in the dark. In a hard place? You’re right on time. You know it will lift and spring will come again,  yet you can't help but wonder,  Will it?  Could this state last forever?  This heaviness like a weighted blanket thrown overhead Pulling down. Languishing.  A feeling this is the way it's supposed to be.  A feeling something needs to be fixed. a familiar tug of war.  Welcome, winter. #winter #seasonalliving #wheeloftheyear #darkhalfoftheyear #earthdaughters #sacredspiral #earthbasedpath #wintering #seasonaldepression

December is here! 🌲⁠ ⁠ The light might feel like it's completely disappeared for us here in the northern hemisphere, but we all know that it always comes back again!⁠ ⁠ With the longest night happening this month, it always gives me great joy to know that starting in just a few short weeks, the lighter hours will begin to increase again.⁠ ⁠ May you remember that just as the sun and moon go through their own ebbs and flows throughout the year... your inner light may experience the same.⁠ ⁠ Flow like the river you are, dear one & shine on like the sun.⁠ ⁠ ~⁠ ⁠ #sunshine #december #wintersolstice #thelongnight #yule #darkhalfoftheyear #thelightwillreturn #youarelight #iamlight #wearelight #energyhealing #youarethelight #youaretheone #spiritualhealing #reikihealing #reikimaster #wisdomofnature #healwithnature #animism #youarenature #flowwiththesun #flowwiththemoon

"The winter solstice time is no longer celebrated as it once was, with the understanding that this is a period of descent and rest, of going within our homes, within ourselves, and taking in all that we have been through, all that has passed in this full year which is coming to a close... like nature and the animal kingdom around us, this time of hibernation is so necessary for our tired limbs, our burdened minds. ...the natural tug to go inwards as nearly all creatures are doing is strong and the weather so bitter that people are left feeling that winter is hard because, for those of us without burning fires and big festive families, it can be lonely and isolating. Whereas winter is kind, it points us in its quiet, soft way towards our inner self, this annual time of peace and reflection, embracing the darkness and forgiving, accepting, and loving embracing goodbye the past year. Winter takes away the distractions, the buzz, and presents us with the perfect time to rest and withdraw into a womb-like love, bringing fire & light to our hearth. .. and then, just around the corner the new year will begin again, and like a seed planted deep in the earth, we will all rise with renewed energy once again to dance in the sunlight.

❄️ The Cailleach ❄️ The ancient Mother of Ireland; Queen of Winter, controller of storms and the weather, shape shifter, landscape maker, and protector of wildlife. She rules the dark half of the year when the days are short and the sun courses low in the sky. She has deathly pale blue skin and wields a magic staff made from Blackthorn. When she strikes the ground with it winter begins. The Cailleach is said to be a shapeshifter and sometimes assumes the shape of a heron. She is often associated with the Blackthorn tree. Perhaps it is due to this association that the blackthorn is sometimes known as the ‘Dark Crone of the Woods.’ The fairy who guards the blackthorn is known as the Lunantisidhe — the moon fairy. They aren’t very fond of humans and only leave the tree on a full moon in order to pay homage to the moon goddess. So this may be the safest time to pick sloes from the tree. This moon fairy has befriended a white crow. White crows are very rare and seeing one is said to be a good omen. This is a special edition set with a one off frosty blackthorn tree and added magic to the heron. There are three available to buy in the private Facebook group today. #cailleach #queenofwinter #darkhalfoftheyear #wheeloftheyear #heron #celticmythology #celticfolklore #seasonalshelfie #seasonaldisplay

Happy Samhain sisters. 🌚🦂⁣ There's something that feels so true to me to celebrate these festivals with the lunar cycle. I really feel it brings me closer to my ancestors and I feel I have their support around this transformative time. So much to shed... so much that needs to be left behind. So much I still cling on to because I feel it's part of my identity. What am I without it?! 🌀 This Samhain I'm going to honour with a little ritual of letting those bits die. Cutting them back in time for winter, so come spring, as the wheel turns once more, there's space for newness to come in. What are you letting go of? ♥️ #samhain #lettinggo #newmoon #scorpio #reconnecting #carefortheland #darkness #darkhalfoftheyear #honouring #ancestors #pretani #newyear #darkfeminine #samhainblessings #shedding

Darkness is neither positive or negative, it just is. It's often thought of as negative, scary, undesirable. In order to embrace the winter, I've had to learn not to push away the dark. I’ve had to try and stop complaining about how early the sun sets this time of year, and remember that all creation begins in the dark. And it can be quite peaceful here. Because of my hypersensitivity to bright lights and sensory stimuli, darkness is a welcome retreat for me. It’s calming on the nervous system.  In moments of overwhelm, simply closing my eyes is a game changer.  Doing so, quiets the visual noise of the external world, which then makes it easier to quiet the mind. In that space, I can hear the voice of my inner guidance. It is here that I come back into my body. It is here in a dark place, where we can feel our internal world.  It is here in a dark place, we can see what's below the surface…  Our patterns, our shadows, those things which block our path We also access our dreams and aspirations here. Once you understand this, you see, the darkness is really a gift. An opportunity to see with new sight. #darkhalfoftheyear #winterthoughts #seasonalliving #cyclicalmagic #winterperspectives #darkness #sunset #earthbased #yogafairy #natureswisdom

Whew- what a day! The past two weeks have been very busy, chaotic, and stressful- so today the Goobs and I decided to have a little Mama/Griffin day. We started by heading briefly to the John Ball Zoo to see the red panda cubs, who are finally able to go out into the enclosure. They were SO cute! On our way back out, we came across a VERY vocal trio of howler monkeys- I’ve never heard them like that before! 😂 Griff and I then did a little early Christmas shopping to look for decorations, gifts, and a new tree. Griffin got the Elf on the Shelf Saint Bernard- so now he has all 3 elf pets. 😂 We then headed to my parents’ as they just brought home their new puppy today. Griffin played with that pup, played with his cousin Blakely, and even helped Nana demolish an old cabinet they tore out during renovations. I….. may have fallen asleep on the couch for a bit. 😂 like I said- busy, stressful couple of weeks. After dinner, Griffin and I met up with my sister and niece and walked through the Christmas lights at the LMCU ballpark. The kiddos wore matching hats, had hot cocoa, and got bundled up in the wagon to enjoy the ride. On our way home, we also stopped at Lowe’s, where we finally found the tree we wanted, and bought it before heading home. Ya’ll, I’m so tired. 😂 And despite some difficulties over the day, I’m glad I got to spend some 1:1 tine with my kiddo. Cuz he’s a pretty great kid. 🥰 #griffinatticus #mamasonday #saturday #familytime #qualitytime #zoo #redpandas #johnballzoo #puppy #newpuppy #christmasshopping #christmas #christmastimeishere #darkhalfoftheyear #nightlights #holidaylights #christmaslights #ilovethelongnights #christmastree #elfontheshelf #elfpets #winteriscoming #cousins #christmashats #loveyouforever

Reminder: it is not selfish to take time to yourself to do absolutely nothing, if it brings you peace. You don't have to be everything to everyone all the time. You don't have to be endlessly producing & consuming. You can say no. In fact, it's necessary. Other people may not understand it, that's ok, they don't need to. Sometimes you just need to take a nap, curl up with a book, and appreciate the simple things, like moss. #darkhalfoftheyear #rest #mosslover #earthbased #introvert #hsp #thoughtoftheday #blog #randomthoughts #yogawitch #selfare

The beauty of the dark half of the year... #darkhalfoftheyear #frost #deadleaves #winterforest #mist #fog #Devon #England #UK

As we journey into the darker half of the year, it's important to remember there is always light if we know where to look. Whether that's catching a few golden rays through the frosted trees, observing the sun's reflection in the dewey grass, or the feeling of elation and peace when connecting with your soul. Weather outside, or within, there is light to be found even on the darkest of days. And while it may seem at times futile to go in search of a speck of light when darkness abounds, it is this darkness we must thank, for without it we would not know the joy of the light. Just as without winter, there can be no spring. Embrace your darkness, embrace your pain, welcome it all with love and curiosity. Then, you may surprise yourself to discover so much more hidden light in the dark. #embracethedarkness #darkhalfoftheyear #winteriscoming #darknightofthesoul #autumn #seekthelight #dancewithyourdarkness

Christmas can be hard can't it? Being in the depths of Winter, surrounded by expectations and rampant materialism. Many people have told me in the past they can’t wait for it to be over… So, how on earth might we reframe it as a time of personal meaning, rest, radical practice? ❄️Boundaries can seem daunting but they give us a chance to identify when we feel we’ve been asked to cross a line and stop it from happening again. Once you have your boundaries for Christmas you will need to share them with those impacted and often they will need maintaining and restating, but it’s worth it! ❄️We get so wrapped up in the social pressures of Christmas we often forget to heed the call of Winter and slow down, rest more. There’s no need to apologise for resting and it’s important we listen to our bodies. How can you invite some slowness, however fleeting during this season? ❄️You get to choose who has access to you and if want to spend the festive period with chosen family over blood family, it’s up to you! ❄️Traditions should carry meaning, if yours don’t, what practices can you do to reflect what this time means to you? Go wild! There are more tips in the free zine download on the free page of the we.51t3 Want to learn more: join the Reframing Christmas online workshop on Nov 13th. Check the b.10 What's more, you can dive even deeper into Winter wisdom as signing up for Reframing Christmas comes with a discount on the 9 week, 'Winter's Embrace' course with 15 live online activities, community space and 50 pg workbook.

Halloween decs away (😟) for another year, one last month of Autumn decs and then it'll be time for Yule decorations! Can't believe how fast it's coming. Won't be long until Midwinter and then the nights slowly start to get lighter again. I need to stop buying pumpkins 🤭 the house is full of em, in every little nook and cranny there's a gourd or a squash dec. I really do love this time of the year 🌙 #myphoto #darkhalfoftheyear #november #cuspofwinter #pumpkinseason #pumpkinobsessed #gourds #autumn #autumndecor #witcheshearth #witcheshome #greenwitch #solitarywitch #witchesofinstagram

I have a lot of photos and thoughts and things I wish to express from my amazing wonderful trip. However, I need time to go thru them and digest lol. So that will all come out over time. This morning, I am just incredibly grateful for the Dark half of the year is here. I think moving to a place where the seasons are so much clearer has been powerfully beneficial for my mental health. When the Summer leaves I just feel a weight lifted. There is stillness. There is crisp coldness. There is darkness that is so comforting. I can relax at another level. Lately I have been getting up at 5 am in the dark and just savoring the stillness and refreshing nature of it all. This morning the Moon (the glorious Moon) was still out being beautiful. I love this house but I sadly see the Moon less. And the leaves were a ghostly stunning color. I am so grateful for so many things. And I will be nesting and cozy and enjoying the Autumn glow this weekend. #Autumnbliss #Darkhalfoftheyear #winteriscoming #theMoon #nature #morningrelaxation #peacefuldarkness
