Vigils are devotional times for engaging with our sorrows, worries and losses. They
tend the hard parts of our personal and collective grief through the soft expression of
intentional space, guiding invocations, imaginal activities and tender closings. This is
your invitation to pause and attend to the parts of your broken and aching heart, bear
witness to your outrage and generate a frequency of grace and healing for yourself
and the ailing world.
As 2026 makes its slow and uncertain passage into an unknown future, we gather to turn inwards. To turn toward the hard places, the grief-laden places, the places that ache for tending. We invite you to pause, to breathe, and to find refuge within our circle.
Spring crosses its calendar threshold in the No. Hemisphere the day before we meet. In this liminal moment, we gather to welcome the season’s ancient promise of emergence and renewal. We call you to the warmth of our virtual fire, to sit together in sacred community, to listen deeply, to be seen and held, and to draw nourishment from practices that have steadied and softened the human heart since the beginning of time.
We hope you will join us in this space of quiet wisdom and care.
Your companions and facilitators,
Woods Winfree and Julie Freed
