Thank you Gabriella this looks lovely and I look forward to participating. My holy place will be beside my own bees and I’ll be accompanied by my new puppy who’s named Sol! She already knows that we peel off to have a word with the bees any time we walk past their hive.

Thank you so very much my special friend and teacher. I will be joining. It is almost sunset here. My special place will be on stone stool next to my rose bushes in my flower garden. It directly faces the sunrising over the hill by my house. It snowed 5 inches here in NJ this morning!

Blessed Solstice to you and the sisters joining.

What a gorgeous image! Roses in snow. I saw that very image in an oracle today for the Oraculum ceremony, wow… it’s very affirming when synchronicities like that reveal themselves- thank you dear! Wishing you a most blessed of solstices and thank you for the beauty you bring!

Yay!! It was uncanny how similar the questions were - they often are but this time more than ever! I find it really affirming that we’re all in this together, wrestling with the same things and figuring it all out. What a phenomenal and mysterious thing, this human experience! Wishing you a very happy new year, dear! Xx

Thank you Gabriella, i’d love to take part. I don’t know yet the place as i am away from home, it matters the intention!

Gabriela Gutierrez's avatar

Well, part of you is now in my prayer pot with the bees! So I hope that feel homely in a way. Once my holy place was a bathroom…! It was the only place I could get privacy during a time for the covid lockdowns! So yes, it’s the intention that matters 🤭
