Bring Spirit to the Holidays this Year

We’re almost to the end of 2022. Just a few more weeks!
And it seems that we’re moving out of the pandemic now, after 2 ½ years. If there is a lesson that we’ve learned during this time, one is that many of us have come to a clearer and deeper understanding of what’s important in our lives and what is not.
I know I’ve experienced a greater appreciation for my connections to friends and family and my broader spiritual community. Now we even have the ability to gather in person in addition to online. What love, joy, and warmth!

As the holidays approach and the year 2022 comes to a close, are you wanting to experience connections with others in a conscious community?
Are you longing for a meaningful experience during the holiday season?
In this darker time of year, in the midst of the season of winter, we naturally experience a yearning to move inward and experience inner peace and deeper soul nourishment. We feel the rhythm of Mother Earth who is breathing in to nourish and renew. We too can turn inward.
This year, I warmly invite you to join me to participate, as spiritual community, in Bring Spirit to the Holidays for the 13 Sacred Nights of Dec. 24th – January 6th and explore together words of wisdom from St. Hildegard that support us today. Find out more HERE. 

As we join together in this sacred experience, you will ….

• Feel deeply nourished and have a sense of inner peace within your soul
• Gain deeper wisdom and meaning from this past year of 2022
• Discover the divine messages that give you direction, hope, and purpose for your life’s journey as you imagine the year 2023 ahead
• Connect with other spiritual creatives who will join and support you on this path of discovery

As these sacred nights approach, I remember warmly the dear friend and mentor that St. Hildegard had in her life. He supported her in following her divine calling, even when she felt like she couldn’t!
This beloved friend, a monk named Volmar, was the first person to validate St. Hildegard’s visions as divine experiences. He recognized her rare spiritual gifts and became a good friend and mentor for many years in her life.
St. Hildegard often doubted herself and her abilities to share her gifts with the world. When she turned to her teacher and friend, Volmar, she shared her self-doubt, and he strongly encouraged her to write about her experiences.
Over the next 10 years, she shared her experiences in the text that would become her visionary work, Scivias, and Volmar became her secretary, writing down the words she dictated. ​

​Volmar, St. Hildegard’s friend, confidant, and secretary, was in her life for over 60 years! It’s clear that St. Hildegard greatly valued and appreciated her dear friend who supported and encouraged her.
 
We see how the steps on our journey are a little easier to follow when we have someone in our community that supports and encourages us. We don’t have to do it alone!
Join me and our spiritual community this year in Bring Spirit to the Holidays: 13 Sacred Night Challenge from Dec. 24th – January 6th and explore together the wisdom that St. Hildegard offers us today. Discover more here.  
 
Starting on the 24th of December through the 6th of January, I invite you to work with one meditation inspired by St. Hildegard of Bingen per day. As you do this, you’ll also pay special attention to your dreams and write down what you remember each day. You’ll notice if there are any connections between your dreams and the questions asked in the meditations.
 
You’ll be joining me and also others in this spiritual community who are engaging in this same practice of inner work during the Sacred Nights. You can share your experiences and listen to others share theirs. 
Through this journey of meditation and journaling during this sacred time, you’ll come away with a sense of peace and fulfillment as you digest the year that has passed. You’ll be ready to go forward into the new year with sacred guidance and momentum. 

Don’t miss this challenge. It’s only offered this time of year!
