“Magical Beings!
We invite you to join us by the dancing flame
of the flickering candle this winter solstice
for a warming and generous Christmas Coven!
We will gather together and light up the longest night
with our songs and pictures and words!
This event is designed to be a relaxed celebration
of the season where we can each bring our own
sparkle and fortify one another
with lovely creative offerings.
We will share work in an Open Mic style platform
with selected Headline acts from amazing
ND artists (you!) weaved around our headlining acts;
poets Wendy Young and Frances Norton
and wonderful soothing and nourishing
music from Natasha Oliver-Cork.
Let us make merry and pay tribute
to the first year of this journey with Magical Women,
and to the brilliant, rich and potent work
we can bring to the world in these ND Led spaces!
Join our circle from 7-9pm, 21st Dec, on Zoom.
A magical link will be sent by email
on the day of this enchanted event.
