Hel: Death, Shadow & Sacred Stillness

This class explores the powerful and often misunderstood Norse goddess Hel through the themes of death, shadow, transformation, and sacred stillness. I will encourage you to move beyond fear based ideas about death and endings and the word itself and explore Hel as a presence of acceptance, truth, and quiet transformation. Her energy invites us to stop resisting what has already changed, sit with what we often avoid, and discover the wisdom that can emerge through stillness. We’ll explore Hel’s mythology and role as guardian of the dead, the symbolism of life and death, shadow work, grief, ancestral connection, and respectful modern spiritual practices. This class is an invitation to release fear, honor what has ended, and become comfortable with the stillness that exists between what was and what comes next. Come prepared to slow down, reflect, and discover that endings do not have to be feared—they can and should be honored.
