Visioning with An Cailleach
A Winter Solstice Shamanic Ceremony
Retrieve the vision that sings to your soul and is calling you to bring it to life.
Are you ready to awaken the vision buried within your soul and bring it to life with the turning of the light? Winter Solstice is the perfect time to listen to the dream seeds that stir within you. Whether it’s a new beginning, starting your business, a longing for creative expression, or a retrieval of self, your soul knows what you need.
Let it lead the way.
If you feel weighed down by old patterns or held back from stepping into your full potential, this ceremony is designed to gently uncover the hidden obstacles and release what no longer serves, creating space for your truest dreams to take root.
This is your invitation to join me for an intimate alchemical ceremony guided by the plant spirit Blue Lotus, Mugwort and Rose and our guardian, An Cailleach as you nurture your emerging dream and leave feeling more centred, focused and connected to your true path.
Through a tapestry of guided rituals, immersive shamanic drumming, soul exploration and grounded earth-based practices this ceremony will help you ground your soul’s guiding vision.
We’ll come together at the Winter Solstice, the darkest point of the year, to listen to our soul longings and embrace winter’s inspiration. It’s time to discover how to hold a clear vision and strong intention in your heart so you can be guided along life’s path, ensuring you never lose your way.
Unearth Your Guiding Vision and Clear a Path Forward
Follow the pulse. Follow the spark.
In our ceremony, we’ll listen, dream and vision not from the mind but through the wisdom of our soul that speaks in metaphor, images, symbols, imagination and poetry. The dark days of winter hold the quiet place, this is the birthplace of all creation where you can find doorways leading into a vast landscape of possibility.
I invite you to step through this doorway, quieten the external noise and drop deep within to hear the answers to:
What’s my soul asking of me?
What’s needed of me?
What am I longing for?
It’s time for you to unearth your guiding vision, reweaving it into the rich tapestry of your life.
Are you ready to connect deeply with the vision that lies within you and will guide you through the coming seasons. Take space to clarify your inner longings and align your path forward with practical, soulful steps.
Through this ceremony, you’ll be able to:
- Reconnect with your future self, ground your vision and pave the way forward.
- Feel emboldened to take aligned action.
- Trust in the unfolding of your tender vision and allow it to emerge.
- Tap into your soul’s wisdom and gain the clarity you need to flourish.
This Ceremony is for you if...
- You feel disconnected from your life’s purpose and unsure of how to bring your inner vision into reality
- You question your path, get stuck in overthinking and struggle to access your deeper, soul-aligned desires
- You feel lost in confusion or are easily distracted by ‘shiny objects’, leaving you second guessing yourself
- You're frustrated that you can sense the potential within you, but old patterns and doubts keep clouding your clarity and preventing your dreams from taking root.
- You feel adrift and long to ground yourself, focus, and listen deeply to your inner wisdom.
- You lack a ‘north star' which leaves you feeling unanchored and unsure of how to stay the path or meet challenges with confidence
- You want to release what holds you back and experience transformation that lasts..
Nurture A Soul-Fueled Vision
This isn’t about formulating goals or New Year’s Resolutions but to carry a soul-fueled vision in your heart that you can hold tenderly during the gestation of the winter months.
At Winter Solstice, we get to stand still and ask ‘How do I wish to express myself in my world?’ ‘What energy do I wish to carry through into this cycle?’.
When you join us, you’ll experience a transformative journey to connect to your natural wisdom and attune to the rhythms of life so you can rest in this winter portal of metamorphosis and infuse your dream seeds with creative energy.
Our ceremony invites you to:
- Experience deep soul listening that helps you access a vision rooted in wisdom, beyond the mind
- Connect with the version of yourself yearning to be expressed in the world at this time
- Reclaim the forgotten parts of you so you can become more fully expressed as your true self
- Connect to your inner compass, empowering you to make more conscious choices about how you live your life
- Partner with your dream seeds and learn how to engage with them so you can grow together
- Reimagine what you want for yourself, your community and the great web of life
- Clear pathways and open doors to inspire your life's direction
- Compost the old patterns and stories so your dream seeds may thrive

Your Guide
"Until the culture recognises the legitimacy of growing down, each person in the culture struggles blindly to make sense of the darkness that the soul requires to deepen into life." - James Hillman
I believe there’s great beauty in giving ourselves permission to speak a new vision to life, reimagine past aspirations, open the door to wild possibilities, leave room for new information to come in and shape what you’ve already envisioned.
Too often, we create solely from our minds, often influenced by outside perceptions, with little room left for soul. What if both could exist together, where the soul dreams and the mind helps to bring the vision to life. You get to experience flexibility rather than rigidity by sitting in counsel with your vision. You allow your vision to guide you.
It’s time to pick up the undervalued gifts of dreaming, imagination, enchantment and visioning and invite in a willingness to be aware of yourself and what calls you onward. Let’s vision together knowing that doing so ripples out beyond ourselves.
