Happy New Year and Merry Epiphany, almost! In celebration, these three wise women are stopping by with a gift for you. You might know that some folks celebrate Epiphany (January 6) as Women’s Christmas. Originating in Ireland, where it is known as Nollaig na mBan, Women’s Christmas began as a day when the women set aside time to enjoy a break and celebrate together at the end of the holidays.
It has become a tradition for me to create a new retreat each year that you can download as a PDF and use on Women’s Christmas or whenever you need some time for reflection and regathering. The new retreat is hot off the press and waiting for you! This year’s theme is In the Light of a New Constellation. It includes readings, art, questions, and blessings. You can do the retreat alone or share it with friends. (And it’s not for women only!)
There is no cost for the retreat. It’s my Women’s Christmas gift to you, with deep gratitude for your presence on my path. To download the retreat, click this link to go to the Women’s Christmas page on my Sanctuary of Women site:
Women’s Christmas Retreat 2023: In the Light of a New Constellation
I would be delighted for you to share this gift with others.
I send much gratitude and many blessings for you. Merry Women’s Christmas!

Dear Jan, Words fail to capture how much I gain from your Advent and Women’s Christmas retreats each year. This year the word that will guide me is “clearing” and it was a gift from you! I often give your books or share your website with friends, especially those struggling with loss and grief. Someday I hope to meet you but in the meantime I send you grateful thanks and my continued prayers of blessing. Claudia

Thankyou Jan for again being so generous with this gift of Women’s Christmas retreat. I love this year’s edition so much. And I own a print of 3 Wise Women which stays up year round !! So many people comment on them. They are my guides & I am so grateful that you shared them with the world ✨✨✨
