Originating in Ireland, where it is known as Nollaig na mBan, Women’s Christmas began as a day when the women set aside time to enjoy a break and celebrate together at the end of the holidays, typically celebrated on Epiphany.
Drawing from resources created by Jan Richardson, this gathering is designed with time for rest and reflection, time for play and exploration, and, most importantly, time to be with one another in community.
