About the Event:
Bone Mother Temple Welcomes you to a beautiful evening where we will immerse ourselves in the energies of the Winter Solstice, honouring the darkest night and the return of the light. Winter Solstice, also known as Yule in the modern-day Pagan Wheel of the Year, is a time of great introspection and reflection, where we contemplate what it is we wish to conceive for ourselves through the next seasonal spiral of the year. This a community event open to all who are seeking to explore the realms of spiritual practice, deepen their knowledge or wanting to connect with other likeminded folk in a nurturing community circle. This circle is welcome to all genders, and to those 16 and above.

YOUR HOSTS:
Calliope & Tay are the founders of the Bone Mother Temple, and your sacred guides for this event.

Serving her community through offering her gifts & readings services at local witches markets she offers guidance to those who seek a light in the dark, calling upon her own experience in traversing the realms of shadow to empower those who are also navigating dark nights of the soul.
