What are the Hearthfire Circles?
Hearthfire Circles are small in-person gatherings around my hearth in Toronto for earth-lovers, pagans, witches, sensitive souls, healers and spiritually inclined folks who wish to connect more deeply with themselves through aligning with the cycles of the seasons. They are an evolution of my original seasonal circles I’ve held since 2013.
Hearthfire Circles celebrate the peaks and transitions between seasons in the northern hemisphere. They follow the Wheel of the Year with celebrations held near the solstices, equinoxes and cross-quarter days. They are inspired by my own path, which draws from traditions in the UK and Europe as well as the land I walk on here in Tkaronto, Canada. (Toronto).
*Circles are open to all genders, paths and backgrounds, no experience in anything witchy necessary!
*Going forward in 2026, circles will be only in-person, in Toronto. Sliding Scale $30-$50.
What happens at the circles?
Each circle consists of a guided journey, discussion, divination and ritual and sometimes art-making, depending on the theme of the season. Connection and sharing is encouraged, however you don’t have to share anything you don’t wish to. We strive to hold a warm, casual and inclusive space for all to feel comfortable. Circles are kept small for ease of connection.
What are the benefits?
The Hearthfire Circles invite us to recognise how the earth lives and breathes through us and the seasons are mirrored in our psyches.
In understanding our connection to the earth, we are better able to cope with modern day challenges such as lack of community care and self-care, hustle culture, undervaluing our emotional and intuitive wisdom, lack of belonging and colonial ways of being. We nourish those undernourished parts of ourselves and balance unhealthy conditioning. We begin to see our lives as part of the cycle of life-death-rebirth and learn how to flow with change rather than against it.
Through ritual, guided meditation, divination and creative projects, we empower ourselves, release what no longer serves our growth and cultivate our inner strength and resilience. We nurture a deeper relationship with the land we walk on, the spirit allies that surround us and each other.
Are you interested, but a bit nervous about meeting new people or totally new to this kind of thing?
I hear you. I am shy and anxious around new people too! What I’ve found is that small gatherings like this facilitated by folks like me who value holding a supportive, inclusive space have helped me feel more at peace with myself because I found I was not alone in how I was feeling. When I took that step to go out of my comfort zone, I found it expanded my comfort zone and made it easier to be myself in this world. Lots of folks who have never attended something like this before felt really at home and welcomed. There is no pressure at all to take on any specific beliefs or change your life in profound ways if you don’t want to! You don’t need to consider yourself a Pagan or a Witch, either.
Circles are kept at a low cost for accessibility, sliding scale $30-$50 and include snacks, drinks, supplies, learning, and ritual. They are 3 hours long, on Fridays from 7-10pm.
When you sign up for a circle, you are saving your spot in a small, limited-space event where supplies are bought in advance for you. I cannot offer a refund if you cancel, unless your spot is filled.
* It is important for participants to make an effort to co-create a supportive, inclusive space. You can read more about what holding space means to me here.
“Serena’s kind and warm nature makes everyone feel welcome and included. She creates a magical environment and has the ability to help you reconnect with the person you truly want to be. She’s very knowledgeable and intuitive. I am very grateful to have met her and for having someone like Serena in my community doing what I believe is important work.”- Nancy L.
“I have attended a Circle with Serena as well as have had a Tarot reading with her. Serena is incredibly warm and welcoming, and that is extremely important as the Circle and reading were two things very outside my comfort zone. Serena is an excellent listener and observer and really takes the time to help you understand why you’re there.” -Kelly

As a Witch who makes her home and practice in east Tkaronto (Toronto) Ontario, I deeply thank the original stewards of this land: The Mississaugas of the Credit, The Anishinaabe, Haudenosaunee and Wendat nations. I am committed to learning from the diverse First Nation, Inuit and Métis people who live here today, including learning ways of being in reciprocal relationship with the land. I strive to uncolonise my own practice, amplify Indigenous voices and support Indigenous communities in whatever way I can.
