12 Wild Nights
a contemplative journaling ritual
w/ Emily Sause
A collective container for personal practice
Join us as we enter the liminal space between years—the 12 Wild Nights—a sacred, nondenominational portal of reflection, restoration, and quiet insight.
Through daily guided journaling prompts, curated listenings, somatic suggestions, and planetary correspondences, we’ll journey inward together, honoring each night as a seed planted in the fertile soil of the year ahead.
Anchored by two live gatherings, this offering invites you to create a gentle and generative ritual during the holiday season. No prior journaling practice needed—just your presence, your pen, and your willingness to listen within.
Together, we’ll observe the 12 Wild Nights, the passageway portal between two years. This is a potent time to go inwards, to reflect on the year that’s coming to a close, and to look into the new year ahead with clarity and care.
We’ll begin with a live Opening Ceremony on December 23rd, where we’ll explore the origin story of this tradition—including the roots of the 12 Holy Nights, the mythos behind the Solar & Lunar union, and how to work with the potent energetics of this threshold.
From December 23rd to January 5th, you’ll receive a daily journaling prompt, delivered with a short video and optional sonic and somatic companions to support your reflection. Each of these 12 nights symbolically maps to a month of the year ahead—an invitation to attune to what wants to emerge, and gently forecast the inner qualities, virtues, and intentions you’ll carry into 2026.
The journey concludes with a Closing Gathering on January 6th, the Day of Epiphany, to integrate what’s been revealed and honor the container we’ve shared.
Your practice might take 5–15 minutes a night — or more, if you feel called. This is a soft structure, created to support your self-connection, however it naturally unfolds.
