Wild Nights
A 12-day ritual journey to
release, recharge and remember
your ancestral roots
December 20th - December 31st, 2024
I invite you to experience the sacred time of Yule, a season of transformation and renewal.
Can you feel it in your bones - that ancient wisdom that is waiting to be remembered?
Origins of the Wild Nights
The Wild Nights - also known as the
12 Holy Nights or Rauhnachten - are an ancient Northern European spiritual festival, celebrated since the late Stone Ages.
These sacred nights, also known as Yule, mark the "time between times"—the days between the Winter Solstice and the New Year when the veil between worlds is at its thinnest.
For our ancestors, this was a time to clear away what no longer served, honor the darkness, and welcome the return of the light.
Over centuries, these practices have woven through the traditions of Scandinavian, Anglo-Saxon, Celtic, and Germanic cultures, later absorbed into Christian rituals as the origins of the word “Yuletide.”
This journey invites you to step back into the roots of this ancient tradition, rediscovering its sacred power as a portal to transformation, healing, and renewal.
About the Journey
In a world that often feels ungrounded and disconnected, the Wild Nights offer a sacred opportunity to slow down, listen deeply, and reconnect with who you truly are.
This ritual journey is designed for women and people with wombs who feel adrift—cut off from their spiritual roots and longing for a sense of meaning and belonging.
Through guided rituals, journaling practices, and optional group sharing, you'll embark on a path of re-remembering, guided by your intuition and the wisdom that has been passed down through generations.
Each night represents a portal into the sacred—a time when the veil between worlds is thin and transformation is possible. Together, we will clear what no longer serves, honor the dark, and welcome the light back in.
Who This Is For
This journey is for women and people with wombs who:
-
Feel disconnected from their spiritual roots and long to rediscover them.
-
Crave a sense of belonging and a deeper connection to the cycles of nature.
-
Are ready to release what no longer serves and step into the light with clarity and intention.

Your host
Françoise Molenaar is an intuitive guide for women navigating life’s challenges, from fertility challenges and loss to physical and emotional blockages.
Her calling to rediscover her spiritual roots stems from her family’s decision to leave behind their religious practices after the trauma of WWII.
With no elders to guide her, Françoise has charted her own path through research, teachings from other guides, and a deep connection to the land.
Her most profound insight?
Our ancestral legacy is never truly lost—it can be felt and reclaimed when we take the time to listen to what wants to come through.
The Wise Women
Our team for the 12 Holy Nights brings together a circle of wise women, each deeply rooted in their own spiritual practice and unique expertise. From ancestral healing to embodied feminine wisdom, each guide will hold space for one night of this sacred journey, offering rituals designed to awaken the wisdom within you.
