In wintertime, natural energy turns inward into the stillness of the earth. It is an important, yet quiet and generative pause in the cycle of life, before new awakenings.
The 13 Holy Nights are an elegant time to connect with Spirit — when the veils between this world and the next have become translucent and diaphanous. It's time for sacred winter rituals, honoring the rhythms of Nature, and a celebration of the Solstice season.
We like to think of Holy Nights practice as your rendezvous with the Divine, a path to your true essence, an experience in awakening your super-sensory powers, and a remembering of your future.
This instinctive practice is a slow dance within the circular rhythm of the cosmos, uniquely offered to us during the blessed winter season — an opportunity to turn inward, to dream, to create, to connect with our deepest knowing, and to receive wisdom and guidance.

A much needed antidote to the counter-intuitive hustle and bustle of the holiday season, this winter ritual invites us to slow down, simmer down, quiet down, and listen deeply.
Even though life, travel, shopping, and celebrating can speed up during the holidays, our hearts and minds are yearning to retreat into the quiet and potent still-ness of the true season.
What is truly natural for us during this time is to mirror what Nature is doing all around us. By following Nature's lead and turning inward, we curl back into what has been called "the womb of the mother." This womb is the inexhaustible wellspring of the Universe, from which all things are born and to which all things return.
This FREE pilot program kicks off on the winter solstice, December 21, the longest night of the year.

The practice of the 13 Holy Nights is our opportunity to dive into this darkness teeming with possibility in order to bring back from this place of primordial magic our soul's sustenance for the coming year.
During this extraordinary time a magical door opens, and we find ourselves in both "this place and that" where the mystery resides.
The world of Spirit is tangibly closer... all around us... inside of us. It's in the air, and it's palpably present.
To the degree that we are able to tune in, we are gifted with Divine guidance and deep Wisdom for the callings, opportunities, and challenges that await us.
The magic is real. The practice is sweet. The 13 Holy Nights practice will change the texture of your holiday season forever.

Solstice, December 21, 2021
settings
The Holy Nights practice begins on the winter solstice, December 21st, the longest night of the year.
We'll gather together on Zoom for a Solstice Ceremony, and to share intentions, hopes, how-to's, and ideas for customizing your Holy Nights practice.
The first of two Zoom meetings will be December 21 at 4pm Pacific, 5pm Mountain, 6pm Central, 7pm Eastern US Time. (The 2nd meeting will be January 11. See more about that below.)
Video replays will be posted here on this page.

Your Personal Prep Time, December 22-24, 2021
settings
Note: We will connect with each other throughout The Holy Nights on an app called Slack. There, Sallena Pool your host, will share insights, inspirations, and a Spirit Oracle card each day for the collective.
The next 3 days (after the Solstice, and until sundown on December 24th) are for preparation, determining how and when you'll tune in to connect to guidance, and for gathering supplies for the next 13 days of practice on your own. Recommended items are:
- your favorite oracle, divining, or tarot cards
- a Holy Nights journal, pens, pencils, markers, and any desired materials for creative expression
- objects for an alter, comfy pillows, blankets, etc.
- smudge sticks, incense, candles, matches
- crystals, pendulums, sacred objects
- inspiring music
- tea, wine, or your favorite beverage
- and anything else you may need.

The first 24 hours, Sundown, December 24 - until Sundown, December 25, 2021
settings
During this first 24-hour rotation of Mother Earth, the window of connection opens with a special sacred energy. In your own timing, you can step over a threshold into a liminal space where the veils between this world and the next are pulled back. Everything you experience, notice, intuit, record, feel, think, download, and dream in this first 24 hours represents an imprint of the entire year to come.
It's a preview, a foreshadow, a sneak peek for the next 12 months. You will want to write, draw, or make a collage in your journal to represent whatever you receive. Don't worry about interpreting or processing this information now. Simply receive it in whatever way and time it comes.
The goal, during these 13 days and nights is to receive these imprints as best you can: Open your senses, take note of synchronicity, practice mindfulness, tune into nature, go for quiet walks, meditate, practice qigong, record your dreams, record your thoughts, notice the people you meet, and utilize your favorite oracle, tarot or divining cards as tools for your journey.
Here's a beautiful article from creator of The 13 Holy Nights Oracle Deck. This and other deck options are shown below, in case you want to order.

The remaining 12 Holy Nights, Sundown, December 25, 2021 through Sundown, January 6, 2022
settings
During each of the 13 Holy Nights use your divining cards, light candles, engage in a ritual of your own design, attend to your alter, and quite simply listen to the deep inner and outer stillness you are soaking in. In all these ways you are looking, listening, and feeling for clues from the world of Spirit. It's ideal if you can set a consistent time each day for your guidance ritual. You only need to set aside 12-22 minutes if you're pressed for time.
Most importantly, BE PRESENT, pay attention and take it all in, using the extra-sensory perception that will be available during this time. Then, record it all in your Holy Nights Journal so it can serve as your crystal ball oracle and intuitive guide for the year to come!
The Holy Nights are also a time to be inspired and lift the limits of your dreams throughout the coming cycle of seasons. Plant seeds of intention now to ensure seedlings will sprout, expand, and be harvested through the coming year in Divine timing.
All 13 days and nights are very potent! You might have powerful dreams to record, too! So, move through this entire time frame mindfully, with an open heart, connecting with your favorite people and activities, and doing the things that fill you up with JOY and LOVE!
Stay present, practice, be creative, connect, meditate, receive, and reset.

We'll facilitate a Gratitude & Blessing Ceremony for our shared Holy Nights practice.

After years of trials, here's my all-time favorite journal (in case you're in the market for one). The look and feel of the cover and the pages are amazing. It's great for writing, drawing, as a "bullet journal", and markers don't easily bleed through!
