Winter Welcome

Dear Wild Ones,

As we welcome Winter, this is a space to explore the earthy, deeply grounding, inward nature of this season. Together we’ll delve into the most Yin time of year, discovering the replenishing, nurturing, and nourishing energetics that lie at the bottom of the watery well of Winter’s regeneration.

This is also a time to find and embody the light within the darkness. Ancient energy practices teach us that nothing in Nature is absolute. There is never absolute Yang or absolute Yin, but rather dark within the light and light within the dark. This is what it means to be alive, to be a part of the fabric that makes up all of life.

But what does that mean? We’ll explore this together in our practices and content here in the Winter Portal.

“TCM encourages us to understand the seasons as a continuum of shifting energy, and ourselves as a living part of these seasonal experiences.”
— Estuary Herbs

Weaving together western Earth-Centered Practices as well as Traditional Chinese Medicine, throughout the Winter both the elements of Earth and Water will be our guides in understanding the energetics of Nature and how they’re mirrored in our own bodies. We will dive into the overlap between these elements and how they represent universal animist archetypes within the rooted rhythms of the Earth and of ourselves as living beings.

The intention is not to memorize information, but to come to deeply know and experience in our bodies the way these energies inspire, nurture, and ground us in the present.

We’ll officially begin on the Winter Solstice, welcoming back the Sun, and gathering as a group to open the Winter Circle of the Sanctuary. From then on, each month through the Winter we’ll gather for a short practice and to connect about the energetics alive for each of us.

Group Calls Schedule

Saturday 12/21, 10am PST - Opening Circle

Saturday 1/18, 10am PST

Saturday 2/15, 10am PST

Saturday 3/15, 10am PST

All calls will be recorded and made available within 24 hours, so please don’t worry if you can’t make every live call, although there is something special about holding space together.

Telegram Space

Throughout the season, we will connect over on Telegram. There you’re welcome and invited to share whatever is coming up for you energetically, physically, and spiritually as you explore the material in the Winter Portal, work with the plants, nourish yourself with the recipes, and sink into the Bath House.

Please feel free to share your responses to the prompts, whether you prefer to share in written or verbal format. I’ll be in there daily to respond to all of your shares and offer additional prompts, reflections, and occasionally some oracular readings.
