Holiday Healing & Sacred Celebrations is the Essential Arts Winter Holiday Program that harmoniously blends the relief and rejuvenation of a quiet healing retreat with the fun and friendship of a festive holiday gathering.  I invite you to join me in the safe, sacred space of the beautiful Essential Art Virtual Retreat & Party Center.  It's a private group hosted right here on the Essential Arts website, so there are no ads, distractions or data mining.  And it's free!

​

Come on in!  Where would you like to start?

​

• Need a hot drink to warm your hands?  Recipes are brewing in the Hearth

• Hear the sound of Solstice calling? Join in a chorus of carols in the Salon

• Ready for some quiet time?  Head into the Healing Spa

• Looking for the Holiday Healing & Sacred Celebrations Guide? Try the Library

• Hoping to find some friends?  Visit the Parlor - and you are welcome to invite your friends to this group!

 

I’m so glad you’ve found a holiday home here with me at Essential Arts.  I look forward to spending more time with you in the new year.  Whatever it brings, we’ll face the challenges and embrace the joys together.

 

Community Guidelines & Intentions

​

When you join me in the Essential Arts Holiday Party & Retreat Center, I want you to feel most welcome, safe and comfortable. In this spirit, I hold these intentions as I create and share this Guide and encourage us to come together as a community of

​

• Inclusivity and respect around multiple December holidays, especially Winter Solstice

• Learning, sharing, and greater understanding of ourselves and others

• Centering common ground amidst diversity

• Safe space to leave partisan divides at the door

• Compassion and protection for our most vulnerable members

• Honoring our own and each other’s birthrights of sovereignty and self-determination

 

By participating in this group, you are agreeing to abide by these shared intentions.
