Embracing the Dark:

A Free Ceremony of Rest & Renewal

Queens of Death & the Holy Art of Rest
December 6
12pm PST / 3pm EST / 8pm GMT
Zoom · Replay available

Come, rest in the dark…

Slow down.

Soften your heart.

Become empty.

Be fallow.

Beloved, you’re invited to a ceremonial ritual where you’ll descend into the womb of great renewal, into sacred rest, guided by the Queens of Death. 

Will you gather with us?

Our world focuses its value on productivity, performance, and busy-ness

That pace often leaves us overextending, overgiving, and overdoing. 

We feel our hearts brace and become guarded under constant stress… 

That’s why slowing down long enough to feel the regenerative gift of rest can feel surprisingly challenging.

We live inside a culture that creates tension and polarity: We feel the external pressures to keep producing and the deep, feminine seasonal impulse to slow, empty, and surrender to the dark.

We’re here to remember that rest is holy. 

And still, the pressure not to rest is very real.

The Dark Feminine gestates creation in the unseen, the unknown…

The Mystery herself rests in the dark, embraced by the Queens of Death, with the promise of regeneration, renewal, and strength for the journey ahead. 

She teaches us that rest helps us to metabolize what has happened, loosen our grip on what’s done, and makes space for what wants to be born…

There’s a profound fertility in the dark. It’s the nexus of raw, creative potential, resting in the dark roots, trusting the timing of the unknown.

DURING THIS CEREMONY YOU WILL:

  • Remember that rest is holy medicine–not something to feel guilty about
  • Descent with the Queens of Death
  • Embodied Rest Ritual–Nervous-system softening; somatic stillness to feel the Mother hold you
  • Renewal & Reflection–What you release & reclaim so you can make space for the new
  • Experience sanctuary–and be held as you enter the unknown
  • Discover ways you can continue being embraced in sanctuary during 2026

COME, SIT BY THE FIRE WITH US:

LET YOUR HEART WARM & SOFTEN…

Surrender to the dark & be held by the Goddess
