Invisible Worlds
The Pagan Roots of Christmas
A Ritual Journey Through the Holy Nights
Online Program starting on Dec 21, 2025
(Enrolment recommended by Dec 28 // Community Offer Codes Below)
Between December 21st and January 6th you will immerse in guided practices, old Christmas tales, and immersive exercises to celebrate this passage between the years the way ancestors used to: through deep listening and intention. Welcome to Rauhnächte, the twelve sacred nights from December 24th to January 6th, where the veil between the seen and unseen thins. Rooted in pre-Christian Germanic and Alpine traditions, these nights were once a time to listen, dream, and commune with the invisible worlds. Through myth, ancestral memory, ritual and artistic practice, this course invites you to explore the roots of Christmas, the symbolism of the twelve nights, and their shamanic cosmologies.

Collaboration with Advaya
For this year's course I am partnering with Advaya, a global learning platform dedicated to weaving ecology, spirituality, and myth for our changing world. Advaya hosts courses and conversations with leading thinkers and visionaries, creating beautiful spaces for deep learning, reflection, and community.
I admire Advaya's work and feel honored to teach on a platform that has hosted visionaries like Charles Eisenstein, Satish Kumar or Vandana Shiva. I’m very excited about this partnership and look forward to journeying with my community, Advaya’s team, and their wider circle through the threshold time this year. It feels like the perfect home for this year’s journey through the Holy Nights.
