Celebrating Samhain: Honoring our ancestors, Offering Gratitude, Harvesting Wisdom

Join Dr. A. and special guest, Celtic Otherworld expert, Dr. Nicola Tannion, during this liminal season when the veil between the worlds is thin, to honor our ancestors, offer gratitude for the blessing of the past year, gather the harvest of our experience and wisdom, and receive inspiration for the year ahead.

We will explore a brief history of Samhain (saah -when) and consider how we can each adapt our own rituals and ceremonial practices to our mythic understanding and needs at any time of year.

Ritual: Inviting Your Foremothers

Dr. A. will lead a practice to invite the soul/spirits of our female ancestral lineage to join our circle, commune, and celebrate with us.

Visualization: Meeting Your Foremothers

The ritual will be followed by a guided visualization, led by Celtic Otherworld expert, Dr. Nicola Tannion, inviting us to meet our ancestors around the Samhain bonfire to celebrate, offer thanks, and ask for their guidance and wisdom for the new year.

Reflection Journaling

Immediately following the visualization, we will journal, draw, compose, and create documentation of the images, symbols, ideas, and messages we may have received during connection with our matrilineal line.

Following the writing reflection, those who are inspired to share the messages and wisdom they have received are invited to do so.

A few days before the workshop, the participants will receive a list of common household objects to bring to the workshop for a mini ritual where we will invoke the presence of our female ancestry and ancient female roots of intuitive power and knowing.

Thursday, November 20th, 6:30 – 8:00 pm Pacific

Gathering Your Harvest: Releasing the Past

Join Dr. A. in honoring the turning of the wheel of the seasons, with a harvest gathering of our blessings, and thanksgiving for what we've accomplished.

Including Ritual, Guided Visualization, and Journaling Reflection, this workshop will invite you to take stock of what you have experienced this year, the highs and the lows, offer thanks, and share in a ritual practice of releasing what is unfinished or was not meant to be.

Participants will be emailed journaling prompts for consideration before the workshop. We will discuss in circle our accomplishments and unfinished goals of the past year.

Guided Visualization: Gather your Harvest

With our harvest gathered before us, we will consider if we have goals that must be pursued through the fallow time, which goals and dreams should be stored in the root cellar to rest and be revitalized and re-planted in the spring, and which ones it is time to let go of, to be carried away by the late autumn winds.

Ritual: Invoking strength, endurance, and wisdom for the road ahead.

Dr. A. will lead a practice of strengthening resolve and endurance for what must be continued, the caring and careful wintering of our creativity and sacred hopes and goals until spring, and the releasing of goals that no longer fit, enliven, or lead us forward in soul growth. A list of items for the ritual will be emailed to participants one week prior to the circle.

Reflection: The putting down of burdens; what will lead you forward

We will begin preparing for the coming months of fallow and dream time, as well as anticipating the upcoming holiday season.

December 18th 6:00-7:30 pm Pacific

The Secrets of Solstice

Join Dr. A. to honor this liminal day of alignment between the light and the dark, which offers us a unique experience of the balance of archetypal opposites. Each winter, the solstice offers us a sacred, secret moment of unlimited potential, where all things are possible.

We’ll explore what this moment is and the power behind the ancient traditions of honoring and celebrating the winter solstice, with a particular focus on how we can use this sacred time to rejuvenate ourselves and realign to our soul's calling.

Including Ritual, Guided Visualization, and Journaling Reflection, this workshop will invite you to activate your potential in the deep spaces of the creative unconscious. Through creative exercises, journaling, and an introduction to dream tending, we will welcome the return of the light and simultaneously embrace the depth of the creative dark.

Blending Ritual & Visualization.

We will combine the light and the creative dark, real and imaginary, to perceive images, symbols, and/or messages of the potential of the year to come. A list of items for the ritual will be emailed to participants one week prior to the circle.

Reflection.

Immediately following the ritual/visualization, we will journal, draw, compose, and create documentation of the images, symbols, ideas, and messages we may have received during the moment of unlimited potential.

Dream journal prompts will be sent to participants one week before the event, with the purpose of keeping a dream journal for the 7 days leading up to the solstice circle.

The Mystical Mary Magdalene: An introduction to the mythology, archetype, and mystical history of Mary Magdalene

With international Goddess scholar, embodiment mentor, and pilgrimage leader, Dr. Annalisa Derr.

Join us as Dr. Derr embarks on a journey through the rich spiritual tapestry of stories, traditions, and female power within this divine feminine archetype.

Through the sharing of women's history, her experiences as a pilgrimage guide at Mary Magdalene’s sacred sites in France, journaling, and guided visualization, Dr. Derr will encourage us to discover how we, too, can embody the Magdalene within.

February 5th, 2026, 6:30 -8:00 pm Pacific.

This gathering is for women who gave their all to someone or something and were abandoned, disrespected, or unappreciated. Whether it occurred in a personal relationship, career, creative project, or with family or friends, women who have had this experience will relate deeply to the heart of this myth.

Join Dr. A. in this powerful workshop where she reveals the power of myth to heal and inspire.

Drawing on the tale of Ariadne from Greek mythology, Dr. A. will illustrate how women can apply this ancient and universal story to empower themselves and rise victorious from difficult, painful events in their lives.

This is the perfect myth for the fallow time of year, when we wait in the long dark, for the return of spring and new growth.

Workshop includes: Ritual Invocation, Guided Visualization, Reflective Journaling, Mandala Art, and Sharing

Dr. A’s archetypal perspective uncovers multiple layers of meaning and symbolism within the myth, offering a rich understanding of what it means to be a woman recovering from such circumstances.

The 2025-2026 Village is here!

Each gathering will explore different folk tales, myths, goddesses, and archetypes from world mythology. Together we’ll discover how these ancient mythologies offer new perspectives on issues that concern Regent women today. As Regent Women—aged 45-70— we’re living in the most powerful stage of our lives. During these gatherings, in the company of women, we support each other and offer insights into making the most of our Regent years.

What can we learn from this? Where is our power, and how should we wield it? Join me in exploring the ancient hopeful truths and powers that live within the myths of the universal experience of being a woman.

Dr. A. is a cultural mythologist and women’s coach. Connect with Dr. A., and like-minded women in monthly inspirational conversations held online about the big picture of being a woman in these times.

As women have done for millennia, we'll gather at the well (ours will be virtual) to support each other and find wisdom, insight, and clarity in uncertain times.

Enter the Women's Wisdom Village and:

Experience new ways of understanding what we are going through today, from the wisdom in ancient myths and stories.
Explore the legacy of wisdom from the deep universal experiences of being a woman.
Broaden and deepen our thinking about our outer and inner worlds.
Create a deeper connection to ourselves and with each other.

We can emerge from this uncertain time with a new story to tell about ourselves and our world and a new vision for our lives, our families, our communities, and our world.
