Echoes & Embers: A Two-Part Year-End Meditation, Soundbath & Sharing Circle

ECHOES & EMBERS

A Two-Part Year-End Meditation + Sound Bath Series

Part 1: Echoes — A Ceremony of Shedding & Completion
Part 2: Embers — A Fire Activation for the New Year

As we close 2025 and move toward the energy of 2026, we’re invited into a rare moment of transition: the astrological shift from the Year of the Snake to the Year of the Fire Horse. The Snake brings shedding, release, and the quiet wisdom of letting go. The Fire Horse brings movement, momentum, courage, and the spark of forward motion.

Echoes & Embers is a two-part ceremonial journey designed to honor both phases of this transition. You’re welcome to attend one or both events — each stands alone, yet together they create a complete arc of release and renewal.

✧ PART 1: ECHOES

A Ceremony of Shedding & Completion

Saturday, December 6th • 5–8 PM

“Echoes” is a guided meditation and sound bath experience devoted to honoring the many versions of yourself you’ve lived this year. Instead of discarding the past, we approach it with reverence — acknowledging the identities, patterns, relationships, and seasons that have shaped you, and gently releasing what no longer needs to be carried forward.

Through guided meditation, drum and rattle work, vocal resonance, and a restorative sound journey, you’ll be supported in softening the old layers and stepping out of the “echoes” of 2025 with clarity and grace.

We close with a creative expression circle, offering space to integrate through spoken reflections, music, poetry, or any form of authentic expression. Sharing is always optional.

✧ PART 2: EMBERS

A Fire Activation for the New Year

Saturday, December 20th • 5–8 PM

“Embers” is an activation ceremony honoring the transition into the Year of the Fire Horse — a cycle known for passion, forward motion, boldness, and ignition.

This evening focuses on recognizing your growth, reclaiming your momentum, and fanning the inner embers that will guide you into 2026. Through guided visualization, drum rhythms, elemental fire imagery, breathwork, and a sound bath infused with Sarah’s unique blend of Holy Fire and healing energies, you’ll be supported in awakening the spark already alive within you.

We close again with a creative expression circle, inviting participants to voice intentions, share insights, or offer artistic expression to anchor the energy of renewal.
