13 Wishes: A Solstice-to-New-Year Ritual of Surrender, Reflection & New Beginnings
What if you began the new year not by making resolutions, but by listening to what your heart truly desires?
13 Wishes is a guided ritual inspired by the Twelve Nights/13 Magical Nights tradition, inviting you to pause, reflect, and reconnect with what matters most as one year comes to a close and another begins.
Through reflection, journaling, and a simple nightly ritual, you’ll learn to release the need to control how your wishes unfold, while discovering the one intention you’re being invited to consciously nurture in the year ahead.
The Meaning Behind the Ritual
A Wish Is Something We Surrender. An Intention Is Something We Participate In.
As the year draws to a close, we’re often encouraged to think about everything we want to achieve in the coming year.
But what if, instead of immediately setting goals, we first created space to listen?
To acknowledge the year we’ve lived.
To reconnect with our desires.
To release what no longer belongs to us.
And to trust that not everything needs to be figured out.
13 Wishes offers a different approach to welcoming the new year, one rooted in reflection, surrender, and conscious participation.
This isn’t about giving up on your dreams. It’s about releasing your attachment to how they unfold.
How the Ritual Works
A Simple Ritual Across 12 Nights
December 19
Write Your 13 Wishes
Begin with a guided opening recording from Andrea and a beautifully designed workbook to help you reflect on the year behind you and identify 13 meaningful wishes for the year ahead.
These wishes might relate to relationships, creativity, home, adventure, purpose, rest, connection, or anything your heart is calling toward.
Write each wish on a separate piece of paper, fold them, and place them in a bowl or jar.
December 20–31
The 12 Nights of Surrender
Each evening, you’ll receive a short email with a reflection theme and journaling prompt.
You’ll randomly select one folded wish, without opening it, and safely burn it. By doing so, you’re symbolically releasing the need to control how or whether that wish comes to life.
Over 12 nights, you’ll surrender 12 wishes.
January 1
The Final Wish
One wish remains. This final wish becomes something you’re invited to consciously participate in throughout 2027.
Rather than simply wishing for something to happen, you begin exploring how you can bring that intention into your everyday life.
For those joining Set Your Intentions, Andrea’s live online workshop on New Year’s Day, this final wish becomes part of our time together. We open our final wish together.
