BROTHERHOOD OF THE ROSE - WINTER SOLSTICE GATHERING
Friday 20th December, 7pm-12.30am,
Eridge Park, Kent
This will be a continuation of the Summer Solstice ‘seed gathering’ event we did in June earlier this year. This will be a more intimate event for those men who really feel drawn to this vision (to birth the ‘brother’ festival to Heart of the Rose) and want to connect even more deeply with each other and to the Rose (the Rose representing the Feminine aspect of God and path of Unconditional Love). Gathering together at this darkest, stillest, most ‘Feminine’ night of the year - we will journey ‘down’ into this Holy silence and be open to receive what She want’s to share. The event will be held by Sophie and some of the Heart of the Rose team and will be for men only...
The intentions for the evenings is to:
Collectively connect more deeply to the Rose together, dissolving the mind into the Heart - so we can truly hear and receive Her wisdom and guidance at this time.
Gather all men who feel drawn and aligned to this vision
Keep this Brotherhood the Rose flame alight and continuing after our Summer Solstice event and Rose Initiation Workshop for Men at Medicine Festival
Come together on the darkest eve of the year to share Council around this ‘Brotherhood of the Rose’ Festival vision. Planting our seeds in the fire and this Holy fertile darkness - so they can start to slowly blossom as we move into next year.
The evening will run as follows:
7-9.30pm - Introduction/s, Talk + Deep Guided Rose Meditation led by Sophie and the Heart of the Rose team
9.30-10pm - Break including warming Chai and Cake
10pm-Midnight - Space to circle and council together - dropping into sharing what’s truly in our Heart’s around this vision, the Rose and what men/women truly need to heal on this planet at this time. We will also open the space for those who want to share songs and prayers
12-12.30pm - We will plant our seeds and prayers in the fire for the healing of the Masculine/Feminine within/without, and the return of the Rose and this Way of Love on earth. Also sharing any prayers we have around this specific festival vision on this Sacred Land we will be on and the greater far-reaching healing potential of these ventures…
The main intention for this event is simply to Be together, in service to the Rose. We gathered on the most solar ‘Masculine’ night of the year - and it is time to gather again, this time on the darkest ‘Feminine’ night of the year. To be open and receptive to this next step forward and to gather with like-minded souls to see what might want to be birthed through us in this next year ahead and this incredibly powerful time on the planet.
The event will take place at a private home on Eridge Park. Due to the location, unfortunately spaces are limited and the event will be capped at 20 men - for all feeling the call please book sooner rather than later (booking link below) and please do share with brother’s who you think might be interested…(After covering expenses for the evening - all money will go to supporting Brotherhood of the Rose and Heart of the Rose next year).
It has been said that there used to exist on this sacred British Isle, something called the ‘Holy Grail Rites’ of Passage - where women would initiate men over the Winter Solstice ‘down' into the darkest depths of the cyclical Feminine Mysteries. Inviting them to face and integrate the darkest depths of themselves - dissolving into the Womb of Winter - ready to be born again anew with the coming Light. This is a very brief description - yet it feels potent to be meeting together on this Holy night, for us *all* to be reborn anew, and remember our sacred work together. For more info on these specific Holy Grail rites - please see the work of Tanishka Moon Woman - https://themoonwoman.com
(A little side note from Sophie - as mentioned in the website - at the beginning of the year - I was 'shown' to initiate and birth a men's festival on the Land that would become the 'brother' to Heart of the Rose festival. I was told it was to be called 'Brotherhood of the Sun', as it was to honour the Solar aspect of the Masculine and would later become Heart of the Sun - to balance, Heart of the Rose. Then suddenly 2 months into planning, the guidance changed and my guides said that this ‘seeding’ year - I was to call it ‘Brotherhood of the Rose’. This is because, they said…this new men's festival was going to be a new frequency of men's festival that would be fully rooted in the Heart, and so needed to be seeded, birthed and called in by men who truly understood that it is only through integrating and healing their own inner Feminine/Rose/Heart, could they step ever-more fully into their Solar 'Sun'/’Christic’ Kingdom. This is why it is called Brotherhood of the Rose this year. To read far more in-depth about this vision and the ultimate festival, both Heart of the Rose and Heart of the Sun are leading too, called AWAKEN - please see rest of website…)
