Between Christmas Eve and Epiphany lies a sacred interlude — 12 threshold nights when time itself seems to pause, and the soul communes with the unseen. Rooted in both the Christian mystery of the Christ Light and the much-older pagan rites of Yule, The 12 Wild and Holy Nights weaves these ancestral streams together through the contemplative lens of the Gene Keys. 

Each night aligns with a zodiacal current, a month of the year and a divine quality, offering a map for inner renewal and our intentional seeding of the year ahead. The ‘wild’ recalls the untamed elemental forces of the earth – the fire, the soil and the ancestors – the ‘holy’ invokes the descent of the celestial light of consciousness into human form. 

Through reflection, ritual and devotion, these nights become a living passage from darkness into illumination – a spiral journey culminating on the mystical 13th night, Epiphany, when the deep dreams of our soul are integrated and imprinted in the year to come. 

This season, you are invited to make full use of this sacred quiet time and to briefly put aside any pressures that sometimes come at this time of year. Each night, you can set aside as little as five minutes before you sleep, to attune to these magical currents and to listen to the silence between the worlds, for in these 12 nights, the whole universe is dreaming its dreams through you… 

What's Included

  • A gentle contemplation practice each night from December 24th – January 6th.

  • A short audio and written guidance from Richard Rudd for each night.

  • With free registration – gentle email reminders of the theme each night to help bring a little contemplation into your holidays.

This free offering is our end-of-year gift to our entire Gene Keys community. Whether you are in the Northern Hemisphere, headed into deep winter, or the Southern Hemisphere, rising into the holy sun, this is a chance to tune in for 12 days as a symbol of the 12 months yet to come. 

You may be busy travelling for family holidays, cooking meals for the kids, or in your own quiet space despite the business of the world outside. Whatever you decide to do for these end-of-year holidays, we hope this practice will inspire your contemplations.

This offering will only be available from December 24th – January 6th. 

The final Epiphany Day coincides with the opening webinar of The Sage’s Golden Path Retreat, for those looking to join us in ceremony and contemplation for 2026 and beyond. 

From all of us here at Team64, thank you for being part of our community. See you in there!
