The Seasons
~ For Women ~
The Invitation
Goddess Temple Bellingen and Fiona’s Sister Business warmly invite you to step into a sacred and soulful series of seasonal gatherings for women.
Together, we will journey into deeper connection — with the turning Wheel of the Year, with the wisdom of nature’s cycles, and with the quiet, powerful knowing within ourselves. Each celebration is a rich tapestry of folklore, ancient customs, storytelling, embodied practices, and ritual arts — gentle and reflective at times, sensuous and deeply nourishing at others — all designed to help you drop beneath the surface of everyday life and into your deeper self.
This is more than an event. It is a remembering.
We will provide almost everything you need: beautiful materials for our practices, delicious shared food, and an optional seasonal magazine to take home as a keepsake of your journey. Our guided drop-in practices will be recorded so you can continue weaving them into your life long after the gathering ends. You’ll also receive a seasonal meditation recording — a touchstone you can return to whenever you wish to reconnect with the energy of the season.
Come as you are. Leave replenished, inspired, and more deeply rooted in yourself and the living rhythms of the earth.
The Wheel...
WINTER SOLSTICE - Yule, The Longest Night
Together we will restore alliance with the deep feminine power of the dark as a nourishment, a shelter; coming close to the refuge, the presence that companions us through the unknown.
Ritual Art: Veiling
Practice: Guided visualisation to the Deep Feminine Wisdom Stream
Event Date: Saturday 20th June 4pm – 8pm
IMBOLC - The First Milk, First Light
Together we will restore alliance with the true light of the incorruptible flame, differentiating between that light and the veils of false light that perpetuate illusion, dispersion, and subtle manipulation.
Ritual Art: Invocation with Flame
Practice: Candle making
Event Date: Saturday 1st August 2026 TBC
SPRING EQUINOX - Ostara, The Balance
Together we will restore alliance with holy Wisdom, She who dwells beyond rhetoric, angst, contention, and the bewilderment of human culture; re-aligning with natural laws that foster right relationship, right timing, right proportion, and right action.
Ritual Art: Sensorium
Practice: Flower crowns, Seedlings in Egg Shells, Cooking, Elder Flower Cordial
Event Date: Saturday 19th September 2026 TBC
BELTANE - Renewal of Fertility, Renewal of Life
Together we will restore alliance with the lovemaking of heaven and earth, joining with the ever-renewing union of above and below; honouring the ancient rite of the sacred marriage to drink from the wellspring of resurrection, devotional intimacy with the heart of Creation.
Ritual Art: Temple Dance
Practice: Playlist, Personal Song
Event Date: Saturday 31st October 2026 TBC
SUMMER SOLSTICE - Litha, The Longest Day
As we rise into the longest day, together we attune to the courage and soul stamina it takes to tend the light of life until its eventide. We will restore alliance with the deep feminine protection of honest personal inventory, and we will differentiate between the authentic, radiant expression that fuels your essential light and superficial, excessive exposure that depletes it.
Ritual Art: Rites of the Water; Washing and Appointing
Practice: Memnos, Oracle, Drop into Womb Waters
Event Date: Saturday 19th December 2026 TBC
LAMMAS - First Harvest, The Ripening
Together we will restore alliance with the faith that restores and the fruition, the abundance, of the miraculously regenerative deep feminine power both within us and within Life itself. We will draw close to the cycling natural laws that faithfully lead us from the fallow, the dying, the dissolving to the inevitable ripening, the abundance and generosity of spirit that are the full fruition of a life lived in surrender to its own soul making.
Ritual Art: Sacrament, Communion with Anima Mundi (soul of the world)
Practice: Harvest, Shared Feast, Fruition (what is in fruition) Tending to the inner garden.
Event Date: Saturday 30th January 2027 TBC
AUTUMN EQUINOX - Mabon,
Together we will restore alliance with holy Wisdom, She who dwells beyond rhetoric, angst, contention, and the bewilderment of human culture. Entering the Holy Pause as we did in Spring Equinox, this time we will be focusing on Wisdom's guidance for recognizing and redressing cognitive dissonance and coercion both within and without us, returning to a simple, peaceful and peace-making life lived according to natural laws that foster true right relationship, right timing, right proportion, and right action.
Ritual Art: Restoration in a place of power
Practice: Nature dyeing
Event Date: Saturday 20th March 2027 TBC
SAMHAIN - Final Harvest, End of Summer
Together we will restore alliance with the Death that is Life, remembering that we walk the Life-Death-Life cycle, not the Death-Life-Death cycle. We will draw close to the comforting arts of true and full surrender to the fallow, the completion, the loss, the laying to rest, as the doorway through which the cycle towards life, love, fruition and the steady flame can begin again.
Ritual Art: Shrouding
Practice: Honouring our Ancestors
Event Date: Saturday 1st May 2027 TBC
