A Winter Rite of Passage
THE SACRED PAUSE
A Winter Initiation for the Woman Ready to Rest, Root and Rise
Enter 2026 with clarity, alignment, and devotion to yourself
21 December 2025 – 2 February 2026
A guided 7-week journey at the turning of the year.
Starts 21 December · Replays available · Pay in 3 instalments
This winter is not asking you to push through.
It is asking you to turn inward.
JOIN THE SACRED PAUSE
This is not a programme.
This is a winter initiation — a rite of passage for the woman who knows she cannot enter a new year the way she lived the last.
For seven weeks, you will walk a path designed to help you release what no longer serves, reconnect with the wisdom inside you, and rise into 2026 with clarity, steadiness and intention.
This year, the door is open wider.
You can join for £44 instead of £88 — because too many women are carrying too much alone.
Your healing should not be the thing you postpone.
And once you join, you keep this work for life.
The meditations, the release journey, the visioning process, the weekly teachings, the companion guide — all yours to return to anytime you need to rise again, in winter or at any turning point in your life.
This is the final time The Sacred Pause will be offered this way.
In future, it will live inside the Sacred Sister Sanctuary as part of our deeper ongoing work.
Come as you are.
Come with what you’re holding.
Come because you know there is more for you than the way you’ve been living.
Before you read on, press play, give me 2 minutes of your day, lets take a breathe together
WHAT THE 7 WEEKS ACTUALLY FEEL LIKE…
A journey held by the season, the earth, and the rhythm of your own becoming.
Most people think “Sacred Pause” means stopping.
It doesn’t.
It means coming into right-relationship with yourself,
moment by moment, week by week,
in a season that is designed to show you how to let go, how to rest, and how to rise again.
Here’s what the journey really looks like:
WEEK 1 — THE DESCENT
Solstice. The doorway. The exhale you’ve been needing.
We slow the pace together — not by force, but through remembering.
You land back in your body, in your breath, in the truth of where you are.
This is the week where you step out of the noise and feel yourself again, held by the longest night of the year.
Nothing to fix. Nothing to chase.
Just arrival.
WEEK 2 — THE LETTING GO
The space between Solstice and the New Year — the natural season of release.
This is where you gently lay down what you can’t carry into another cycle:
old patterns, emotional weight, the “shoulds,” the rushing, the pushing, the expectations that were never yours.
And we don’t do this with spiritual bypassing.
We do it safely — with rituals, nervous system support, and community holding, so you’re not pulled back into old stories like a bungee cord.
Letting go becomes a doorway, not a collapse.
WEEK 3 — THE QUIETING
The world gets loud in January. You won’t.
While everyone else is sprinting into resolutions,
you enter a deeper pause — a quiet reset where you regulate your energy, hear yourself clearly, and refuse to start the year from exhaustion.
This week is where so many women tell me:
"I finally breathe again."
WEEK 4 — THE REMEMBERING
Space creates clarity. Clarity calls your truth forward.
Now that the noise has softened, you reconnect with the parts of you that got lost this year — the dreams, the whispers, the intuition, the inner knowing.
You remember what actually matters.
Not what the world expects from you…
what you expect from you.
WEEK 5 — THE STILLNESS
Deep winter. The soft ground of your becoming.
This is the quietest week of the year.
Your nervous system settles.
Your roots strengthen.
Your inner world becomes steady enough to hold the vision that’s coming.
Stillness is not nothingness —
it is preparation.
WEEK 6 — THE GATHERING OF LIGHT
The days begin to stretch. So do you.
You start to feel your energy returning — gently, naturally, without forcing it.
Your ideas sharpen.
Your direction becomes clearer.
Your inner fire rises in a way that feels sustainable, not pressured.
This is where the early seeds of your year begin to stir.
WEEK 7 — THE BECOMING
Imbolc approaches. The earth wakes. So do you.
This is your threshold moment — the true beginning of the new year.
Not the frozen ground of 1st January,
but the ancient moment when the light returns and the seeds begin to move beneath the soil.
Here, you choose who you are becoming.
You step forward with intention, confidence, and rooted clarity.
You cross into the new cycle awake, aligned, and held.
WHY WE TAKE 7 WEEKS
Because transformation isn’t meant to be rushed.
Because there are seasonal moments that hold you more powerfully than any “new year resolution” ever could.
Because the earth knows the exact timing of release, rest, and rebirth — and your body remembers this rhythm too.
Inside The Sacred Pause you receive:
✨ A deep release process
✨ A powerful visioning journey
✨ Rituals, practices, and weekly gatherings
✨ Lifetime access to return to every winter
✨ A slower, kinder, truer path into the year ahead
The Sacred Pause honours the wheel of the year and the wisdom of your own cycles.
We don’t force clarity.
We let it rise exactly when it’s meant to.
ARE YOU READY?
This 7-week winter journey holds you through the deepest part of the season — helping you release what no longer serves, hear yourself more clearly, and step into 2026 with intention rather than overwhelm.
And this year…
I’m opening the door differently.
One-Time Price: £44
(Usually £88 — reduced because so many women are stretched right now, and your healing shouldn’t be the thing that gets postponed.)
Lifetime access included.
Because you won’t just need this in winter.
You’ll need it in the moments life feels heavy, loud, uncertain, or out of alignment —
the seasons where clarity, reflection, and grounding matter more than ever.
This is the final time The Sacred Pause will be offered this way.
In the future, it will live exclusively inside the Sacred Sister Sanctuary.
WHY IS THIS CALLING ME?
Because something deep in you knows life can’t continue the way it has. You’re ready to honour the season you’re in, to stop racing, and to hear the wisdom that’s been buried under the noise. Winter is inviting you to slow down, to listen, and to remember who you are beneath the daily grind. This is the moment to lean into your soul’s truth, your ancient knowing, and the call to walk this path in sisterhood — not alone.

Everything inside The Sacred Pause is designed to hold you gently through winter — and to become a path you can return to whenever life calls you inward again.

A Note from Laura
I’m Laura — Interfaith Minister, circle guide, and founder of Sacred Sister CIC.
For the past five years, I’ve walked thousands of women through The Sacred Pause.
But the truth is, this journey began long before I ever shared it with anyone else.
It began in my own winters — the seasons where life asked me to slow down, listen more deeply, and let go of who I had been so I could become who I was meant to be.
Winter has always been my teacher.
It’s shown me that we aren’t meant to move from one year to the next without pausing.
We aren’t meant to carry everything forward.
And we aren’t meant to do it alone.
Everything inside this journey — every ritual, every reflection, every gathering — comes from lived experience, deep feminine wisdom, and years of supporting women through their own turning points.
If you feel something stirring… if this winter feels different… if you know it’s time to prepare for a new beginning — trust that.
You don’t have to walk this season by yourself.
I’m right here with you.
With love,
Laura x
