What do you wish to let go of before the year ends? What do you long to welcome into your life with warmth and clarity? What is your relationship with endings and beginnings?…

…How might a moment of stillness, fire, and community shift your inner landscape?

As the year reaches its darkest point, we take a moment to practice mindful attention and gather for an intimate celebration preceding the winter solstice. Welcoming the energies of the mythic forces of the Phoenix and Aphrodite, this ceremony honours cycles of conscious transformation, renewal, care, and connection at the liminal boundary between darkness and returning light.

Renewal before the Phoenix & Aphrodite (2025)

Across 1.5 hours, we will experience an immersive arc of reflection, embodiment, candle rituals, writing, and a collective fire offering.

Designed for those closing big or small chapters, seeking depth, beauty, and meaningful encounters, this ceremony provides a warm safe-enough space to sense, release, purify and realign, preparing the path toward a clear and renewed beginning.

You may also gift this ceremony to a loved one as a meaningful, symbolic gesture for the end of the year.

From 3:30 to 5pm
Limited capacity to 12 participants.
Participation fee: Sliding scale 25-35€

Please reserve your spot in advance via Eventbrite.

Venue: Lobe Block
