Wise Women Also Came

Welcome to Women's Christmas!

Celebrated on Epiphany (January 6) in Ireland and elsewhere, Women's Christmas offers an opportunity at the end of the holiday season to celebrate with friends and to gather ourselves before diving into the year ahead. This day invites us to pause, to rest, to reflect. In this spirit, Jan Richardson creates retreats that you are welcome to download and use, at no cost, either by yourself or with others. Blessings on your Women's Christmas!

The new Women's Christmas Retreat will be released on January 4, 2025.
