Resolution Ritual- Burying the Old Self, Jan 22nd

Although the concept of new year's resolutions has become commonplace, it actually relates to the wheel of the year and aligns with the tenets of witchcraft. Setting intentions at the end of one year and the beginning of another, at its root is about moving with the natural cycle of earth's rotation and the corresponding energetic impact on all things including ourselves.  When we think of it this way, the resolution is not very different from setting intentions and practicing manifestation.  

Unfortunately, the “new year, new me” concept has been taught to us all wrong.  We enter the new year full of judgements about what we are doing wrong and what we should be doing instead.  We go too hard too fast in unsustainable ways and then burn ourselves out only to bring harsher judgements on our perceived failures.  

When we are aligned with the energy of the earth, this is the time when we bury our dead. When we lay to rest all the parts of ourselves that cannot come into the new year with us if we are to achieve what we have set as our desire.

In this class, we start at the beginning, with a ritual designed to honor, thank and bury what is passing away. We will also talk about the process of keeping your promises to yourself and how to harness the energy of the earth as the year progresses giving you every advantage of achieving and sustaining your goals.

This class takes place Wednesday, Jan 22nd from 7-9 pm
