This sounds beautiful… and challenging, given that I will be staying with my in-laws and muggle friends during this time. Look forward to having thus resource as a way to center and recalibrate. Thanks, Julie!
Oh funny, muggle friends. I know what you mean! Allysha, use this retreat as it serves you. Attend as you wish and are able. No expectations. Yet, maybe it's a retreat from the vacation?
That’s exactly what I’m thinking. Sometimes in the midst of vegging out and eating cookies, I have to find ways to connect. This seems like a perfect opportunity.
I would love to join in. Will the emails just come automatically or do we need to sign up for a separate email? As a solo Pagan, I rarely get to celebrate my path with others so this feels like a real treat!
Hi Anjali, being a subscriber you will get the retreat emails the same way you get my posts. No need to sign up. You already have by being a subscriber. So glad you will be there! I am touched that you see this as a way to celebrate your path! Wonderful!
I thought of you around this, while you will be in Litha. Glad you can be there, would love to have you! And take part as it serves you! Be gentle. And yes, the poem that is one of my favorite parts to! I am looking forward to what other write!
That’s sounds absolutely lovely Julie. I’m planning on being absent for a bit, but I will join in if I can and if not will very much be there in spirit.
No worries Louise. Please attend only if this inspires you and you want to be there. There are no expectations here. Participate as much or as little as you wish. Do this only for you! Much love to you sweet one!
Thanks for your inquiry! This retreat is all through e-mails/substack posts. Yes, morning messages. In this way you can do this in your own time, and share in the comments as you wish. Would love to see you there. Love to you!
Yay! I'm so excited about this offering, Julie! And also a bit nervous. Can I prioritize this with the family obligations during that time? I feel in my heart like I need to. I remember learning in a S.T.A.R. session once that my heart's true longing is to 'pour out my soul in words'. Beginning each day in sacred writing ritual for 12 days of Yule feels like such a delicious answer to that call. Thank you so much for this offering! ❤️
Your welcome Jenna, I hope you know that you can engage in whatever way feels right for you! No pressure here! And... since you stated, "my heart's true longing is to 'pour out my soul in words'." This seems to be what you are asking for? Love your response of "delicious answer"! When there is a longing, there is a way. I am sure it will present itself when you need it. Love to you dear friend. ❤️
Julie! Thank you for offering this, what a gift!! I know what it takes to create/write/offer a daily post as you are intending to do. I appreciate the time you will be intentionally spending with these invitations. Looking forward to joining
Thanks Heather! Appreciate your words, yes it does require a lot more than weekly posts for sure!! And I was called to do this, one of those calls I didn't want to say "no" to. So, here I am prepping... Glad you will be joining! Looking forward to having you there! ❤️
I love love love this invitation. Beautiful. Oriah mountain dreamer is a friend of mine. some years ago I used the invitation as the theme of one of my seven day retreats. We took a part of the invitation each day from her little book.
It was so amazing. I sent her an email and she responded immediately and we became penpals.
I haven’t followed up lately, but I need to and this is a wonderful reminder.
I love her poem. It has been quite awhile since I last read it. As I kept using the word "invitation" in my post, this poem arose from my memory. Was wonderful to immerse myself in it again. And what a wonderful way to create a retreat, around this poem. That must have been a very powerful retreat!
I would be delighted to join in! I have done something similar for several years as I've reflected on the year that is closing. Co-creating magick would be lovely.

And the poem...that is one of my favourites...Much love and big hugs xxx

This is beautiful Julie. I am delighted to join. Thank you 🌹
Josie, I am excited you are joining!

What a beautiful share! Thank you!
I’m asking for a little clarity, is this a gathering on video call or live or just receiving morning messages?
Thanks for your inquiry! This retreat is all through e-mails/substack posts. Yes, morning messages. In this way you can do this in your own time, and share in the comments as you wish. Would love to see you there. Love to you!
I'm going to make it an intention to join and to share!

I loved this poem Julie. Thank you for sharing. And, you have it memorized! I am inspired by your brain :)
Oh funny. I don't have it memorized. When I was writing "invitation" it reminded me of the poem. That is a better way to say it.
This sounds fun, Julie. Thank you.
Thanks Robin. That's my intention! Fun, creative, reflective and hopefully transforming.
This sounds so special.
Thanks Raine. Hope to see you there and your poetry as well. As it calls to you.
I would be delighted to join in! I have done something similar for several years as I've reflected on the year that is closing. Co-creating magick would be lovely.
Victoria, so glad you will be there!
Well of course I am in! Lovely offering, Julie 🥰
Thanks Erica, I am really glad you will there!
This sounds lovely! And I adore this poem.
Same thoughts Sam!
