Winter Solstice Heart-Opening Prayer Circle - Dec. 24 2024
Though the Winter Solstice will have passed (Dec 21st 4:20am), the energy of the season will linger, inviting us to reflect, connect, and honor the turning of the wheel on the longest night of the year. Join us for a Sacred Winter Solstice Heart-Opening Prayer Circle, a slightly belated but deeply meaningful community gathering to celebrate the light's return and the quiet power of this transformative time.
In the stillness of the dark, we will gather around a glowing fire, creating a warm and intimate space for deep connection. We will take a small amount of sacrament together, inviting it to guide us inward as we listen deeply to our hearts and the whispers of the season.
Through the practice of deep listening, we will hold space for one another to speak from the heart and share what arises in the moment. This circle is an invitation to release what no longer serves, to plant seeds of intention for the new cycle, and to feel the support of a loving community as we journey inward together.
Whether you come to offer a heartfelt share, song, poem, presence, or simply your listening, this gathering is a chance to reconnect with yourself and others, along with the sacred rhythm of the Earth.

SUCCESS STORIES

“I found Shane a year and a half ago when I was experiencing profound loss and grief. Shane's holistic approach helped me change unhelpful behaviours and patterns, titrate off three psych meds, and showed me a path forward into healing and growth. Shane's intuitive sense of what has been needed at different points in my journey has been deeply insightful, offered with gentle care and concern. I find myself more grounded, confident and at ease than I would have thought possible in the time since I started working with him. He is a gifted healer and I am grateful to have found my way to him and the healing community he has created.”

“Shane’s group medicine journeys are truly incredible. The whole weekend retreat is a ceremony. We begin by calling in our guides and allies, and sharing our journey intentions with the group. Throughout the retreat, Shane leads solo and shared exercises designed to help us explore our edges, deepen our journeys, and create camaraderie between the journeyers. My experience was that these exercises directly and positively impacted what I experienced in my journeys. We also close the retreat with reflections and ceremony.”

“Shane has something “in his carpet bag of magic” for every moment. Time and time again, I am impressed with what he has to share with me and other dear friends that he also guides. I can’t imagine doing this deep healing work with anyone else – mind, body, spirit and emotional alignment. My healing, learning and growing has by far exceeded where I would have imagined I would be. Life with Shane in it is just that much more beautiful – he guides me to come back home to a more grounded, open, aware, present, powerful and conscious me. There are so many good things to say about Shane and to sum it up, I would say that Shane is Pure Magic.”
