Following the Election and prior to the Holiday Season, this is a day specifically designed to help you Ground, Reconnect to your Self & Spirit, and Recalibrate your Foundation and Intentions as you move forward into the Holiday Season, Winter and beyond.

Whether you feel anticipatory anxiety about the busy-ness of the holiday season and want to be intentional about slowing down or not…
Whether you feel called to connect with the energy of the seasons and release all that can be composted over the winter and be intentional about how you’ll navigate the holidays and winter or not…

FREE - November Sacred Sunday: Reconnecting, Grounding & Gratitude
Sacred Sundays are The Connected Collective's version of a spiritual service - like a non-church church service, for anyone and everyone. It will include music, readings, and insights from Rev Dev as well as space for your own personal reflection and connection.
On this Sacred Sunday, we will be addressing how we reconnect following the Election, and how we find ground and gratitude in these Disconnected times.
FREE - Election Day Grounding & Prayer Gathering
Let’s gather in community to be together, ground into connection and send prayers and energetic intentions into the election and into the country.
This is for anyone and everyone. It will have a bit of a spiritual but not religious flavor in the language used in “prayer” and intentions. All are welcome.
This zoom gathering is FREE. It will be at least 30 minutes but I’m leaving time for connecting and sharing. Come for whatever part you want.
Sacred Transitions - Autumn Equinox
As we move through the fall, we are in the energy of harvesting. Spiritually and interpersonally, this is a time to reflect on what we have accomplished thus far in the year, what seeds we have planted and how they have grown, to express gratitude and to reap the rewards of our efforts. It is a time of receiving as we move towards the slower seasons.
Whether you want to feel connected to the energy of the autumn, or you are just in need of a moment to check in with yourself, get grounded during these very chaotic times, and be intentional about the days, weeks and months ahead, I hope you’ll join me!
Sacred Transitions - Summer SOULstice
A Sacred Circle to honor the Summer SOULstice will be held on June 20, 2024. This gathering will provide an opportunity for you to pause, be present, reflect and reconnect with your Self, Source, the Land and Others.
New Beginnings: A Spring Equinox Gathering
Harness the power of Spring Equinox (officially at 11:06 PM on the 19th) as we energetically and spirititually emerge from the darkness, begin anew, and plant new seeds.
We will reflect on the themes of some of the overlapping holy days this time of year (Pagan Ostara, Muslim Ramadan, Jewish Purim, Hindu Holi, and Christian Easter). And then, we will dive deep into what we are emerging from, what has been wanting to come forward and bloom, and what wants to be planted. This gathering will include music, readings, insights and prompts for personal reflection and intention setting.
Sliding Scale: $11.11 - $20.20

Aligning with Seasonal Energy: Autumn Equinox Virtual Gathering
In this Virtual Gathering, we will explore and honor the Autumn Equinox. This marks the time when there is a complete balance of light and dark, and the Autumn Equinox specifically is the moment when we shift from the Summer energy of expansion, light and social/extroverted energy into the Autumn energy of harvesting, internal gratitude, discernment and release.
On the call, we will focus on our shift in energy: what are harvesting, and discerning what we want to take from our experiences, and what we will release, and how we want to intentionally move through this “between” season. This virtual gathering will include music, spiritual exploration, and personal reflection.

Winter Solstice Ritual
As I mentioned in my blog post on my deeper Longing for Light this year in particular, I will be hosting an annual Winter Solstice Ritual virtually on Monday, December 20th at 7:30PM est.
Although the solstice is on the 21st, it felt best to have the call in the night before and allow you to reflect and sit with it throughout the 21st. This ritual will create space for each participant to honor the darkness of the year past and the darkness they hold, while also opening up to the possibility of light that the Rebirth of the Sun brings.
It will incorporate some interfaith themes and will be an interactive experience fore each participant to move through as they see fit.

A Bit About Your Host
(Rev Dev)
In Gatherings, I act as a connector, a community builder, a facilitator, and a safe container for others to connect, heal, learn and grow.
I see you. I can see who you really are, in your wholeness. Your gifts, your strengths, your potential, your struggles and your healing.
I’m intuitive. I pick up on things that you can’t see about yourself or a situation. This naturally comes into all of my work and facilitation.
I’m empathetic. I hold you, your feelings and your experiences compassionately and as part of a sacred journey.
I’m accepting. I believe that every person’s identity, beliefs, experiences and lives are valid and valuable. However, I do not accept beliefs or behaviors that impose harm, exclusion or division upon others.
I value safety, structure and vulnerability. As a facilitator/host, it is very important to me to create a safe container for people to connect and explore deeply. Creating and holding that sacred space is one of my strengths.
