Wheel of the Year Ritual Circles

So often the seasons slip past without us really feeling them. We're busy holding everything together, looking after everyone else and keeping life moving, and before we know it another year has turned. These circles are an invitation to pause, step out of the everyday and reconnect with the natural rhythm of the year and with yourself.

Throughout the year I gather a small group of people in The Sanctuary, my garden sacred space in Burton Latimer, to mark each turning of the Wheel of the Year with a seasonal ritual circle. Surrounded by candlelight, crystals and the gifts of the season, we take time to reflect on where we've been, release what feels heavy and welcome in what we'd love to grow. The circles are open to everyone, whatever your gender, and you'll be so welcome.

Why I hold these circles

I've always believed that spiritual practice doesn't need to be complicated. Sometimes the most powerful moments come from simply lighting a candle, setting an intention and giving ourselves permission to be still. These circles are my way of creating a space where that feels easy and natural, even if it's something you've never done before.

I also believe that none of us is ever completely healed. We're all on our own journey, and in circle we sit side by side as equals, with nobody further ahead or more evolved than anyone else. There's something really special about being in a room where you don't have to perform or have it all figured out, and where you can simply come as you are and be met with warmth.

What is the Wheel of the Year?

The Wheel of the Year is an ancient way of marking the natural rhythm of the seasons through eight festivals, from the darkest days of winter to the long light of summer and back again. Each festival carries its own energy and mirrors something happening within us too, whether that's a time to rest, to dream, to grow or to let go.

You don't need to follow any particular path or know anything about the festivals to join a circle. If you've ever felt the urge to hibernate as the evenings draw in, or felt a lift in your energy when the first spring flowers appear, you're already connecting with the Wheel of the Year in your own way.

What happens in a ritual circle

Each circle is created around the energy of its season, so no two are ever the same. We open with a seasonal ceremony to settle into the space and arrive in the moment. I then guide you through a meditation, a chance to turn inward and listen to what's quietly asking for your attention. Afterwards we get creative with a little ritual magic that you'll take home with you, a gentle reminder of the intentions you set.

We close the evening with a warm drink, oracle cards and a sharing circle. You can talk as much or as little as feels right for you, and often the most meaningful moments come from simply listening and realising you're not the only one feeling the way you do.

Whether this is your first ritual circle or you've sat in many, you'll be welcomed just as you are and everything you need will be waiting for you when you arrive. Most people leave feeling lighter, calmer and more connected to themselves, carrying a little of the season's magic home with them...

Upcoming circles

All circles run from 6-8pm and are £30.

🕯️ Samhain - Friday 30th October 2026
As the nights draw in and the veil feels thinner, Samhain invites us to honour those who came before us and look back on the year with honesty and compassion. It's a beautiful time to gently release the things you've been carrying for too long and make space for something new to take root over the darker months.

❄️ Yule - Friday 18th December 2026
In the middle of the busiest time of year, Yule offers a moment of stillness. On the longest night we celebrate the return of the light, reminding ourselves that even in the darkest times, brighter days are on their way. It's a chance to rest, reflect and quietly dream about what you'd love the new year to hold.

🌱 Imbolc - Friday 29th January 2027
When winter still feels long, Imbolc brings the first quiet whispers of spring. It's a time of hope and gentle new beginnings, when we tend to the seeds of our intentions and trust that, like the earth, we're slowly waking up too.

🌸 Ostara - Friday 19th March 2027
At the spring equinox, light and dark are in perfect balance. Ostara invites us to find that balance within ourselves and step forward into the lighter months with fresh energy, and to celebrate how far we've come since the darker days of winter.

🌳 Beltane - Friday 30th April 2027
Beltane is a celebration of life in full bloom. It's a joyful, heart-opening time to reconnect with what lights you up, embrace your creativity and let yourself feel truly alive again.

☀️ Litha - Friday 18th June 2027
On the longest day of the year, the sun is at its fullest and so is the energy around us. Litha is a time to celebrate everything that has grown within you, soak up the light and honour how far you’ve come.

🌾 Lammas - Friday 30th July 2027
Lammas marks the first harvest, a time to pause and gather in the fruits of your efforts. It’s an invitation to feel genuinely grateful for what you’ve created and to recognise the abundance already in your life.

🍂 Mabon - Friday 17th September 2027
At the autumn equinox, light and dark meet in balance once more. Mabon invites us to give thanks, find our own sense of balance and prepare gently for the slower, more reflective months ahead.

🕯️ Samhain - Friday 29th October 2027
As the nights draw in and the veil feels thinner, Samhain invites us to honour those who came before us and look back on the year with honesty and compassion, releasing what we no longer need to carry.

❄️ Yule - Friday 17th December 2027
In the middle of the busiest time of year, Yule offers a moment of stillness as we celebrate the return of the light and quietly dream about what the new year might hold.

Your questions answered:

Do I need any knowledge of rituals or the festivals?
Not at all. I'll gently guide you through the whole evening, so you can simply come along and take part in whatever way feels comfortable for you.

Do I have to share in the circle?
Only if you'd like to. Some people love to share and others prefer to listen, and both are welcome.

Can I come on my own?
Absolutely. Some people come along on their own, while others bring a friend to share the experience with. Either way, the small group means you'll soon feel at ease.

What should I bring?
Just yourself unless there is anything in particular that would make you feel more supported. Everything you need for the evening will be provided. Wear something comfortable and cosy so you can settle in.

Where is The Sanctuary?
The Sanctuary is my garden sacred space in Burton Latimer. Once you've booked, I'll send you the address and everything you need to know before the evening.

What if I can't make it after booking?
Because spaces are so limited, bookings are non-refundable, but you're very welcome to pass your space on to a friend. Just let me know their name before the evening. If for any reason I need to cancel a circle, you'll receive a transfer to another date.

How to book

Spaces in each circle are limited to keep it small and intimate, so please email me at info@mysticalrainbowtreasures.com to reserve your place. Once you've booked, I'll share everything you need to know before the evening.

Can't make it in person?

My seasonal Ritual Packs bring the magic of each festival into your own home, with everything you need to create a simple ritual of your own whenever feels right for you. You'll find them in the Ritual Packs collection.

 

However the seasons find you this year, I hope you’ll join me in The Sanctuary to pause, reconnect and remember the magic in the everyday. I can’t wait to sit in circle with you. xxx
