Winter Solstice marks the spiritual return to the darkness of the spiritual womb. It is a time of inward reflection, incubation in the fertile possibilities of what lies within, a gestation of the dreams, hopes, and intentions of what we wish to sow and grow in the year ahead. It is in the darkness that dreams are sown, and hope is born. Winter is a wise and great teacher, and in this ceremony we will sit with our own darkness and invite and embrace the lessons that it offers.

More about The Stone Circle:

For many thousands of years, humans from land-honoring spiritual traditions have aligned their sacred ceremonies with the natural seasons and cycles of the Earth, the “Wheel of the Year” according to modern Pagan traditions. In many of these traditions, sacred sites of “standing stones”, Stone Circles, such as Stonehenge in the United Kingdom, mark sacred locations and the potent Earth energies therein to hold space for sacred ceremonial work.

In this series of offerings, in partnership with the Rootstock community, Eyal Amiel invites you to join in the creation and cultivation of a living human “Stone Circle”, which we will energetically and spiritually hold in our ceremonial gatherings during the important seasonal transitions of the Wheel during 2024. Inspired by the spiritual practices and teachings of the modern Druid tradition, we will come together in ceremony across the seasons, to honor and celebrate the natural rhythms of the Earth, and invite the ebbs and flows of the natural world to speak to our Spirit, and guide and hold us in our own inward growth and evolution.
