STARS, CANDLES, AND EVERGREENS: A DECEMBER CELEBRATION OF LIGHT

Karina Smith-Reyes

Join me for a calming and heartfelt workshop to honour the natural pause of the year’s darkest season. Together, we’ll explore the timeless symbols of stars, candles, and evergreens, emblems of hope, resilience, and renewal. Through gentle rituals, reflection, and connection, you’ll create space to release what no longer serves you and welcome the returning light and new possibilities of the coming year.

What You Will Receive:

  • A guided candle lighting ceremony to invite hope and illumination.

  • Meaningful insights into the symbolism of stars, candles, and evergreens.

  • A supportive community circle for sharing intentions and reflections.

  • Guided journaling prompts to help you release, renew, and set clear intentions.

  • Practical tools to carry this light and calm energy into your daily life.

Why You Should Attend:

  • To find grounding and clarity amid the busy winter season.

  • To reconnect deeply with nature’s cycles and your inner rhythm.

  • To cultivate hope, resilience, and intention as you prepare for a new year.

  • To experience a meaningful, secular ritual that brings peace and purpose.

  • To connect with a caring community focused on growth and light.

Seasonal Gift for You:

As a thank you for joining, you’ll receive a small seasonal self care bundle and an intention-setting guide to help you focus your energy and manifest your goals for the new year.

For this workshop, you will need to bring your own:

  • Water bottle
  • Pen and notepad
  • An openness to achieve your full potential 

Minimum age for this workshop is 25.

As a wellbeing and educational charity, The Isbourne aims to make its courses and workshops accessible to all regardless of income. We have researched how other organisations fund their courses and come up with a three tier pricing system:

Supported rate: this fee is less than the Standard and allows anyone with financial challenges to still participate. You do not have to show proof, this is offered on trust. This price is limited to one per transaction.

Standard rate: this is how much we would like all participants to pay as it covers The Isbourne costs and supports the tutor.
Sponsor rate: this is a little more than the Standard fee and allows you to subsidise and support others who might not be able to pay the Standard fee.

You choose what tier of payment best suits you - no questions asked!
