MONSDAYS – WEEKLY GATHERING (COMING SOON)

Donuts and bagels. Open to all. The shape is the theology. No further explanation required.

FULL MOONSDAY GATHERINGS

The core public gathering of the Church follows the luminous cycle of the Earth’s tides, convening monthly on the night of the Full Moon. These interactive liturgies are spaces of mutual regulation, collective study, and shared witness.

WINTER SOLSTICE – THE LONGEST DARK (DEC 21)

The womb before birth. Stillness honored. We sit with what has not yet emerged. The darkest point is also the turning point. Seasonal benefit with allied organizations.

SPRING EQUINOX – THE GREAT BECOMING (MAR 20)

First emergence. Menarche blessings. New Prospectors welcomed into the community.

SUMMER SOLSTICE – THE FULL FLOWERING (JUN 21)

Peak light. The flagship fundraising event, benefitting no-kill cat shelters and cancer patients' needs. Artists exhibition. High Priestess presides. Full celebration of expression, body, and community.

FALL EQUINOX – THE HARVEST & LETTING GO (SEP 22)

Crone wisdom honored. Menopause rituals. What has been built is counted. What no longer serves is released. Seasonal benefit with allied organizations.

All proceeds from benefits go directly to supporting The Work, ministries, and ritual gatherings. The money goes where it's needed.

The Church of the Holy recognizes that language evolves across cultures, places, and generations. Titles, forms of address, and ceremonial language may be adapted to suit the needs of the community while preserving the underlying purpose they serve. The role is sacred; the label is a tool.

No title is inherently holy. No word is above revision. The purpose of language is understanding, participation, and connection.
