Happy New Year!! This is from around 10:30pm NYE! So, when the studio opened about a year ago, we had an “opening” ceremony of sorts where people wrote their dreams, desires, wishes, life on a piece of paper and it sat on our altar; they were held by our Altar and intentions/patrons of the Sanctuary for the whole year.
New Year’s Eve Day we had an OFFICIAL Closing Ceremony to 2025 in which all the participants wrote down a person, place, thing, or situation they needed to change their relationship with BEFORE the New Year. This is me doing a ritual and transforming the old into ash where they will now sit on the altar for the year, transmuted mind, body, and spirit. It is important to place boundaries and waypoints along your journey, this helps us frame our lives, conserve and stoke energy, and orient ourselves with life itself. Ritual, especially in community, is about the collective resonance supporting each other, and refining intentionality to a razor sharp edge, so that we are able to cut through life easily and with little harm or tarnish, in spite of all the things existence will inevitably offer us day in and day out.
I hope your NYE and NYD were all you needed, and more, to step boldly into 2026, and will say if you still need some more support and or community to facilitate that, take a look at our schedule and join us in the next few days, as we continue sharpening our edge, and community spirit. The only thing we’re missing is Y-O-U!
