A Holy Nights Webinar
December 21, 2024 at 4:00 PM EST

Increasingly, as the years of present times unfold, there is a sense of acuteness about the challenges that human beings are facing and navigating. To keep our heads above the sea of rapid changes and to stay strong and creative in the face of events of human suffering, and amidst currents in life that breed intense polarities of emotion, remains an ever-present challenge. Human beings are squeezed in these times and there is a longing to feel the soul breath in which perspective can be gained and vision renewed for the continuance of human dignity and the spiritual fields of humanity’s progress. It is however in such times as these that our senses can awaken in new ways to the qualities of self and of humanity; the squeezing can then become a birthing, must become a birthing, to the precious mission that engages us on the quest to become ever more human. Out of this the tide can change and the culture of the heart be strengthened to know more deeply the gifts and mysteries that are chaliced under the stars and in life’s unfolding.

In every respect, the Holy Nights can come to our aid in helping us connect with the stream of vitality and meaning that surrounds our progress through the turning of the year. By turning to the unique star pictures and heavenly rhythms surrounding this period, we can sense our place more deeply within the unfolding of the human journey
