As the year draws to a close, we are invited to slow down, gather in community, and celebrate all that this year has held — the growth, the challenges, and the moments of grace. Before stepping into what’s next, take time to honor what has shaped you and consciously welcome the light of a new beginning.
Join Barbara Biziou, renowned teacher and guide in modern spirituality and practical ritual, for a transformative evening of reflection, renewal, and re-connection.
This isn’t just another workshop, it’s a sacred ceremony to realign with your soul’s light, clear the energetic residue of the past, and carve your personal candle — a symbolic piece infused with your intention, designed to carry the energy of renewal, clarity, and purpose into 2026.
Together, we’ll honor the turning of the year and prepare for this sacred season of Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Christmas, and the Winter Solstice. Through guided meditation, ritual, and community sharing, you’ll be supported in releasing the old and anchoring higher frequencies of purpose, joy, and light.
In this workshop experience, you will:
Reflect on the blessings, lessons, and turning points of the past year
Celebrate your growth and the wisdom gained along the way.
Experience Barbara’s powerful Energy-Clearing Activation technique to raise your vibration and replenish your vitality.
Learn practical tools to stay grounded and centered through the holidays.
Create your own sacred intention candle — a personal symbol of transformation.
Your candle will be infused with your energy using aromatherapy oils during the ritual, becoming a living reminder of your power, focus, and clarity, supporting you long after the ceremony ends.
Why This Matters Now
In a world full of noise and uncertainty, it’s easy to absorb stress and emotional residue without even realizing it. This ceremony gives you a sacred pause to clear what no longer serves you, reclaim your power, and anchor your intentions for the new year.
By creating your Intention Candle, you are not just making a keepsake but the energy you feel will align you with your personal intentions — you will understand how to capture the energy of transformation in this Candle of Intention. It will serve to give you a tangible reminder of the light, focus, and purpose you need to carry forward into 2026.
Note: Please bring a journal and pen, and a pillar candle (choose color most close to your intention, for example, red for passion and energy, or green for healing, or white for everything). Also bring something small for our shared altar — a photo, flower, or object that represents your gratitude for 2025 and your intention for the year ahead. You will be provided with a carving tool and aromatherapy oils.
